because their respective communities feel very strongly that black people are targeted

by the police and it makes them think that the police feel that black lives are worthless.

There's a lot of horrendous treatment everyday, all around the world towards various persons and groups of people. I'm sure you have seen your fair share. A lot of the time fuss isn't made because people are too scared or too desensitised to it. Others fear the backlash from the media or people using the protest for the wrong reason (take the London riots in 2011)

  - I don't know how I feel about it. It looks bad, but he was walking around waving a gun (General Chat) - pants, Nov 27, 19:31:16
    - It's a kid with a toy gun ffs (n/m) (General Chat) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Nov 27, 19:40:35
      - must be nice to know the difference when its being pointed at you..... (General Chat) - usacanary, Nov 27, 19:43:46
        
        this case comes down to one and probably two things (General Chat) - Brandonio, Nov 27, 19:53:18
        
        spot on.......in every case the person being shot is innocent (n/m) (General Chat) - usacanary, Nov 27, 19:56:35
        
        innocent until proven guilty (General Chat) - Brandonio, Nov 27, 20:03:51
        
        innocent until proven guilty, unless you're a cop (General Chat) - CWC, Nov 27, 20:09:04
        
        nope...I think you know why I have come to that conclusion (General Chat) - Brandonio, Nov 27, 20:18:57
        
        If "cop" was a race....... this would be racist....... (n/m) (General Chat) - usacanary, Nov 27, 20:11:54
        
        it isn't though. (General Chat) - Brandonio, Nov 27, 20:16:17
        
        Surely the point is it wasn't being pointed at them (General Chat) - Jim, Nov 27, 19:48:07
        
        They steamed in - images clearly show that... (General Chat) - Dandy Highburyman, Nov 27, 19:47:17
        
        That's fine then. Shoot first ask questions later. (n/m) (General Chat) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Nov 27, 19:45:38
        
        ask questions..... get shot....... get a nice funeral....... (n/m) (General Chat) - usacanary, Nov 27, 19:54:18

        They'd probably treat the situation a bit differently I imagine, with it being a war zone. (n/m) (General Chat) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Nov 27, 20:15:05
        
        This. Surely they should have pulled up a safe distance away and (General Chat) - Jim, Nov 27, 20:09:37
        
        my thinking too (General Chat) - CWC, Nov 27, 20:15:42
        
        yes because every single gun waved at a cop is a toy gun..... (n/m) (General Chat) - usacanary, Nov 27, 20:08:43
        
        Course it's not but it was not being waved at the cops. Surely (General Chat) - Jim, Nov 27, 20:12:18
