Why Don’t These #BlackLivesMatter?

As expected, the police and whites are being blamed for this summer’s urban unrest, including the recent police shootings in Dallas. The accusation is that white cops are doing nothing but running around hunting and shooting upstanding, law-abiding, unarmed black men. Never mind the actual statistics demonstrating that police shooting is in direct proportion to criminal activity; “The percentage of blacks fatally shot by police officers (26%) is almost exactly equal to the percentage of blacks committing violent crimes (24%).” Regardless of the facts, Hillary Clinton blames whites and cops for the deaths of young black men. Who are these young black men? The ones covered under the #BlackLivesMatter mantra. Do all of these black lives matter to the media and politicians or only some of them?
