I guess you mean @Blklivesmatter. I didn't find any tweets saying only black lives matter, or even that they matter more than others. So unless you show me such tweets, I'm gonna assume you're some butthurt little white boy who has no idea what he's talking about. Nuff said.

You didnt really follow the people that were protesting after the shootings were you? Yeah now it's calmed down. But when the group defended a young man who told a news reporter that white people were literally the devil then I pull back for a minute. I'll search for the tweets.
So there are black idiots and assholes? Bummer... I never thought this could be even possible, thanks for opening my eyes.
No seriously: I was referring to this: "The thing I'm seeing with black lives matter people is that they seem to think ONLY black lives matter..." - And I referred to your mentioning "their" twitter. Are there black racist idiots abusing the BLM hashtag and name? Yes, there are. Does that mean the BLM movement is racist in general? BLM is addressing the simple fact that black persons are more likely to be discriminated against than white people, and more likely to get shot and killed by police. It*s never really been a question in society wether white lives matter, and this is - amongst other factors - reflected in the number of unarmed white people shot to death by police. It's not that complicated.
Fsuser can you just kill yourself PLEASE. When someone shows you evidence like that, and when you deny it, you are basically being a fucking tumblr. And if you're a tumblr, you deserve a painful death.
Pulling straws aren't we Mr FSUser... hmm. While more unarmed white people are shot by police in the US the protests of BLM still continue don't they? You don't even know what the movement is based on do you? You defend it but you do it because the media said it's good to. No, the reason BLM was formed was because ALTHOUGH whites are killed more by police than blacks, they are a majority which is bound to happen. The reason why they are protesting is because THE RATE at which the minority (Black people) are being killed is high for the number of black people that actually live in the US. It is worrying, but a lot of these cases where the BLM movement protests about are debatable, for example Mike Brown. There was evidence of assualt against the officer but the BLM movement sorta let that slide.
"a widespread view that blacks are routinely targeted by law enforcement while whites shot by police are a rarity. " - Who actually does that? Not me, for sure. Victims of police shootings tend to be poor. As poor whites are growing in numbers, they are confronted by the police. I am fully aware of that. Mr. Moskos figures and arguments are debatable, and it would be worthwhile looking deeper into what are the specific situations in which black and white people are targeted by the police. For example maybe more white people draw guns on policemen, while maybe more black people get shot while running away. In any case his figures end up with a three time higher chance of getting killed by police, when you are black, compared to be white. BLM concentrates on black victims of police, not only shootings, but also racial profiling and other factors. The serious activists will not think, only black lives matter, which is, what this is about.
To honor the victims of 9/11. DC wouldn't issue them a permit, but issued the muslims theirs for another gathering. I guess since the muslims didn't have vehicles, it was a better decision. They didn't interact and it was dubbed a success by the bikers organizers. Muslims, not so much.
From wikipedia: The Million Muslim March was a protest march in Washington, D.C., on September 11, 2013. It was organized by the American Muslim Political Action Committee (AMPAC) from Kansas City, Missouri.
