I don't think so. The BLM movement and the issue of police behaviour is not political. It is something that needs to be solved in the departments where these problems exist.
There is no quick and easy solution that I know of.

When someone says "Black lives matter", it means simply that. It does not mean white lives don't matter.
> Police have to kill suspects sometimes.
There are so many guns in the streets of the USA it makes the job of police hard and very dangerous. When a suspect threatens the life of an officer or the general public then yes, he/she may have to use his gun to protect him/herself or others. I hope that police don't use more force than necessary to apprehend a suspect.
These situations are rare but they do happen.

That's a little more than an error.

That is the case.
Racism or something else, I'm not sure.

BLM is not minimizing deaths of other colours, I don't know why you take it
that way.

I assure you Aaron, your life also matters. Regardless of the colour of your skin.

I have heard this although I have not looked at the facts and figures. I don't think all the facts and figures are in yet, unfortunately.
The coronavirus is not racist. It will make people sick and some will die regardless of their colour. Perhaps black people are more at risk and I do not wish that on them, or anyone.
