The Irony is overwhelming.

But again this is only a reflection of what goes in in America daily. BLM like to protest about "white oppression" and the unfortunate deaths at the hands of the police, the vast majority of which are lawful.

But conveniently ignore that epidemic of black on black violence and deaths that far surpass any other violence against black people. A black person in the US and most likely in the UK too, is far more likely to be killed by another black person than a white person or the police.

(I don't have a link, but it's a well know fact, a quick Google will back up any of that)
The big difference being is that the civilians doing the killing are criminals, whilst the police should be held to a higher standard - you know "Protect and Serve", not "they're black, we'll treat them differently/more harshly than white people"; when black people commit crimes against black people, they face prosecution, but when police officers commit crimes against black people, they face getting off with little if any punishment.

90% of black murder victims in the US are killed by black assailants - also, 83% of white victims are killed by white assailants, but strangely enough, that statistic is rarely mentioned.
