1. Yes, ALL lives matter. What monster would think that some lives are more valuable than others? 2. It is terrible when a life is taken, no matter the circumstances. 3. If an innocent life is taken, the system is supposed to dispense justice impartially. 4. Even thugs or those who are guilty of crimes are deserving of justice; the states monopoly of violence should be used only to the degree that it is necessary to gain control of a situation. 5. When police are killed, justice ensues with vigor, bordering on retribution. 6. When White people are killed, justice follows at a more-or-less satisfactory rate. 7. When Black people are killed, the killers are not held to such a rigorous standard. This is statistically verifiable. If the phrase were: Black lives matter, TOO, would that disabuse conservatives of their notion that liberals are hypocrites who think non-Black lives do not matter? This rhetorical dodge is almost as repugnant as the politicization of the NYC police officers by conservative politicians and pundits.
