We did agree that all lives matter. Did you skip my first sentence?
Let me tell you a bit about me. I'm mixed, the PC term is multiracial. My father is black and my mother isn't just white, she has red hair and blue eyes. When I say that there are white people darker than me, I mean it. When I tease and say I'm albino, I'm half serious. My brown hair gets very auburn and my brown eyes seem very dark against my pale skin.
Now, you know what I look like, do you think a persons first thought when they see me is of a black woman? I have experienced first hand how behavior changes when a person finds out my heritage. The fact the my parentage should in anyway effect how I'm treated is sad.
Black lives matter, if you don't like it do something to change the racial profiling and negative stereotypes.

Yes, you matter and I matter... black lives matter only had control over themselves too. They saw an issue and they are trying to make a difference. You see an issue and you're not doing anything about it.
I don't think many people can experience discrimination the same way I can. But, trust me its not fun its very upsetting and its a problem.
All lives matter has gotten some negative press too. Where you aware of that?
Hi, I don't know what any of that crap is either.

I feel stupid for asking, but whats the purpose of a hashtag? I still don't understand how or why they are used.
#whatsahashtag? See I made one, but why, I don't even know.
Maybe its because I don't even understand the point of twitter either. I tried to understand those too but it just seemed like random pictures, jumbled text and just more hashtags.

Your entire post is out of touch with reality...
But...
"Police have this 6th sense even more so."
Elevating the police to some sort of demigod like status is far and beyond.

If you don't know my opinion of long drawn out investigations and trials, I'll share. Its all attorney driven drivel. The truth doesn't require that much time to recall. What requires that much time is legality for trial.
If all lives matter to you, please remember those so called criminals had lives too.

Facts don't hurt anyone...
And even if they did...
Your post did not involve any!

If you say so. I don't post unless it is factual. And many facts would get me banned for posting.

Stereotyping people isn't fair, but let's be honest...it happens for a reason.
A group or a culture are labelled because of the preponderance of a behavior within that group or culture. Unfortunately, those that don't fit the stereotypical description get labelled, too, and have to prove they're different before they are treated as such.
It took generations before every Irishman wasn't looked upon in this country as a drunk. All Irishmen suffered the consequences of the label because there was a PREPONDERANCE of a certain behavior.
Clean up your culture. Get rid of politicians that thrive on your failures and put leadership in your cities and communities that honor education, lawfulness, and work ethic. #nomoreexcuses

Speaking from experience?
No one gets banned for posting facts.
