None of the people killing them were employed and trusted to keep them safe.Each person was shot and killed in September of 2017 in Chicago, a city with the tightest restrictions on guns in the US.
Each person was African American
Not one was shot by a cop
Not onewas helped, mentioned nor mourned by BLM or any other organization that has national attention 'on behalf' of African Americans. They are Just forgotten.
Both are things needing repair.
And?Blacks can complain all they want about police killings, but it pales quickly when black on black homicide numbers are presented.
Gun regulations need to be implemented on a national, as opposed to the state level, because firearms can be imported across state lines, from those jurisdictions where they can be easily obtained, without being detected.
Windsor Ontario Canada is less than a mile away from its American counterpart, Detroit, and yet the contrast in gun violence between the two couldn't be more dramatic!
Detroit, with its 2nd Amendment that allows handguns and semi-automatic firearms, averages 1 homicide daily, while Windsor, located in a nation where only hunting rifles and shotguns are allowed, went 27 months without a homicide.
Despite being within eyesight of Detroit, the primary difference is the lack of a "gun culture" in Windsor, whereby handguns and assault rifles which have served as the weapons of choice involving most homicides, are not readily available - despite its close proximity to one of America's most notorious cities known for gun violence!
Well maybe if white America didn't consider them feces, they wouldn't be forgotten.Each person was shot and killed in September of 2017 in Chicago, a city with the tightest restrictions on guns in the US.

Thanks for sending the message that others outside the black community don't care about what happens in the black community. When you figure out what's wrong with that message, you'll get BLM.The number of blacks killed or injured unjustifiably by police is just a footnote compared to the number killed or injured by other blacks. That's why protests by BLM and others aren't taken very seriously outside of the black community.
So when a white civilian kills another white civilian, we're no longer allowed to object to the state using undue force and tyranny against us? Huh?Blacks can complain all they want about police killings, but it pales quickly when black on black homicide numbers are presented.
Newsflash, the Himalayas are not in the US.
Ah. So black people tend to live in poor neighborhoods where they're more vulnerable to criminals than the general population for various reasons (desperation for money, lack of resources, etc.), so why should we care if they also suffer crap at the hands of the state? Make sure that they don't feel safe going to police when a criminal comes knocking. Great. What a loving attitude.The number of blacks killed or injured unjustifiably by police is just a footnote compared to the number killed or injured by other blacks.

Windsor Ontario Canada is less than a mile away from its American counterpart, Detroit as opposed to a different hemisphere.
No one really cares what it "seems" like to you. All that tells us is that you're looking for an excuse not to care, so you haven't looked.I care what happens in the black community, but the black community doesn't seem to care what happens in the black community. That's my point.

Go look to see what's going on in your area, and then get involved in their efforts. You're on the Internet. It's easy.
Clearly not, or you would be involved in the efforts to fix the problem instead of sitting on the Internet claiming that they don't exist and refusing to even look.We have an ongoing black crime problem in my city. I know all I need to know about it.
Didn't you and I have a conversation a week or so ago where I definitively showed you that wasn't true?
