I believe the issue is killing ONLY BECAUSE OF A SKIN COLOR.

Killing is abhorrent behavior....the issue “supposedly” is supposed to be killing strictly because of skin color.

But you are correct. Skip to your corner frame it your own way. It certainly changes the subject.
No... I"m not trying to change the subject. I agree killing is abhorrent behavior. And I agree that the killing of Floyd and others at the hands of police is wrong.

What I don't understand is why there isn't an equal focus on all the "inner city" murders that occur way too often.

Like George Floyd, why isn't the funeral for a 3-year-old African American boy who was murdered in Chicago broadcast on national TV? Why isn't Al Sharpton giving the eulogy?
What about the 13-year-old girl who was killed in Chicago? Where is the outrage? Why aren't there protests to bring more attention to the senseless killings in the "inner city.?" There were 104 shot, 14 fatally in Chicago. Why isn't the mainstream media outraged? Why aren't we ALL trying to figure out how to "fix" this problem?

There is so much hype about police brutality. But there is so much senseless "inner city" shootings and murders. What if you disbanded every police force. No more police. Do you honestly think the inner city murders would stop?

So are you really focusing on the biggest "issue" that will reduce shootings and murders in the inner city?
