Black Lives Matter seeks law enforcement reforms.

“Sunday, Memphians joined together downtown to speak out against police brutality and to demand that city officials recognize that Black lives do matter, especially in a area that has a majority Black population”.

“Black Lives Matter” has become a mantra for people protesting police violence against African Americans. “We OK. We can communicate”. Paying no heed to the grieving family nearby, his attorney, Mark O’Mara said, referring to brimming Zimmerman’s well-being following the case: “I think he is still anxious. It’s going to bloom”, said Jade Dudley, of Black Lives Matter. Unequivocally.

In situations that have the potential to escalate to a shooting, the outcome tends to be much less fatal when a woman is involved. For example, young black men are 21 times more likely to be shot by police than white men in the same age group.

But while Palestinians, thousands of miles away, understand the struggle of black Americans, it’s quite disheartening that many Americans find the Black Lives Matter movement “controversial”, if not even threatening.
