They Need A Rosa Parks

Bureau of Land Management Burn Loot and Murder Black Lives Matter really needs a Rosa Parks.

Someone who gets killed by the cops who, not only, was demonstrably doing nothing wrong when killed but also someone without a criminal history as long as my arm.

For most of the people watching the riots following the death of some career criminal we're like, "maybe the world is better off without them."

These people whose deaths are triggering these riots are NOT pillars of the community.

Maybe we shouldn't be shocked that their lives came to a bad end.  Maybe we aren't all that surprised.

I get the sentiment that every life should matter, but for your life to matter you have to actually matter to society.

Criminal lives don't matter to society, regardless of their race.

Criminal lives might matter to their friends and family, but that's not society.

A question I have asked about this is, "if they see themselves in the place of the dead criminal, why do they so relate to them?"

Is it because they're also criminals?

Let's face it, if it were just about race then it would be dirt simple to find some truly innocent people who've been murdered by the cops.

Also, addressing the racist elephant in the room.  When a black criminal finally comes to the logical end of being a violent criminal, black people burn, loot and riot.  When innocent white people are killed by the police, white people write long missives on blogs and forums.

Want racism to end?  Stop acting in a manner that's consistent with how racists describe you.
