Naturally, there are voices out there condemning the "black lives matter" movement for triggering the unprovoked execution of the policeman in Texas by a black shooter. Actually, the scapegoat should be mentally disturbed sociopaths who come in all colors, and anybody with an ax to grind and a gun to shoot can surface in the atmosphere of resentment and polarization that is smoldering in America.

Likewise, as previously demonstrated by the shooting of the TV news crew in Virginia, the workplace is fertile ground for disgruntled nutcases with co-workers in their rifle sites; especially when race becomes an issue. So maybe the slogan adopted by frustrated activists should be changed to "black lives don't matter", and silently accepting the status quo will appease those offended by this rallying cry.

Unfortunately, the dissent and the finger pointing will continue as long as those sworn to serve and protect convey the message that "black lives matter less"

Police protect property. If you haven't any assets. No protection.

Police protect property. If you haven't any assets. No protection.

The police protect property.if you have no assets, no protection .

Yeah to heck with woman and children first.  Maybe it should just be, "Rich White Men LIves Matter Most."
