Why don't they get more upset over young black men killing young black men?


How do you know they don't?


There's quite a difference in an armed citizen killing another armed citizen and a police officer killing an unarmed citizen.

Then problem is if people put as much effort into taking back their neighborhoods from thugs within their neighborhood as they do protesting white police officers and incidents involving young black men things would be a bit different IMO. I see a whole lot of "die ins" but not one effort to educate these young black men on how to avoid being in a situation to be shot by a cop.

You're right. One gets protested on a national level while the other gets passed off as part of a "culture" because no one wants to "snitch" on "their own".

How do I know they don't? Actually I do: Where are the protestors when this happens? Where is Al (tax free) Sharpton? Why aren't protestors having die ins to protest black on black crime?

The only reason the protestors continue doing what they are is to get their 15 minutes of fame. That or they are there to incite more trouble. In another month most will struggle to remember the names of those they are protesting for.
