Black Lives Matter, TOO! Hostility is from the continuing disregard of black people as People. BLM isn't saying anyone else is less important, they are just sick and tired of police killings being written off as 'just some black hoodlum needing killing'. The number of blacks shot for doing what wouldn't even get many whites arrested is part of living in a racist society. If you've never 'walked black', or 'driven black', it's Not a racist society. Everyone of color, red, brown, black or mixed, thoroughly understands they are not equals in the eyes of far too many LEOs. Thankfully, this isn't universal among the uniformed guardians of our society, but to someone who has lost friends to gun happy racists, the uniform blinds them to the humanity behind the badge, same as dark skin blinds too many cops to the humanity of those seen over a gun sight. For those even pretending to have a modicum of objectivity left who Don't understand origins of the BLM movement, (and it's major PR failing): http://fusion.kinja.com/the-next-time-someone-says-all-lives-matter-show-them-1793849332
