Alton Sterling;

restrained, tasered, and finally executed by Baton Rouge police.

And to add to the list:

Delrawn Small - shot and killed by off-duty cop during a road-rage incident between the two men. Time lines and details are unclear and contradictory, about all that is clear on this incident is a shout match escalated to the point where a cop shot an unarmed man.

Well, this has been taken to the next level. Wish I could say I'm surprised. I wonder if the suspects will survive long enough for us to find out what their motivations were.

Or if they were even connected to the protestors, as I've already heard some people claim.

While I understand why "All Lives Matter" may strike  some as mostly a way to dismiss concerns of minorities, I'm not a big fan of Black Lives Matter either. Sympathetic, but not a fan.

 

But if Black Lives Matter doesn't condemn this openly and publicly (And I hope they already have and I missed it) then I'm going to think even less of them, and they will, in my mind, lose a great deal of any claim to a moral high ground

 

EDIT: Whoa, Protest Organizers just just condemned the attack and extended consultations to the lost officers and family
