Black lives matter as all lives matter. The killing of a man already subdued in hand cuffs by a police man pressing on his neck cutting off his breathing was wrong and at least manslaughter. Peaceful protest is appropriate. There is a systemic problem that needs to be addressed.
Most demonstrators are peaceful. However violence by a minority of demonstrators is counterproductive. It would not surprise me if the instigators of the violence were prodded by Putin's neo-KGB to turn the upcoming election in favor of Putin's boy in the White House. We have already heard Trump trying to use the violence in his favor. America, don't allow Trump and Putin to use this tragedy for political advantage. We Americans must face this injustice by fixing our systematic bias but not by allowing Putin and Trump to use it.
