Comment: JJ,  But it does bring up a rather interesting thought or two.  It seems now that if a black is shot and killed by police it brings immediate protesting and usually some level of rioting regardless of justification or lack thereof.  Additionally, there is no protesting when anyone of another race is shot and killed by police.

To me, this reaction is the issue that the BLM can't overcome for it to become a popular movement.  Dragging the anthem and flag into it doesn't help, I believe it to actually hurt the movement and spurs letters like above.
