Statistics are damning I know. So, the good folks at BLM are upset over the acquittal of a white police officer killing a black man from 2011 or whenever it was. I get it, if he killed an unarmed man.
However, while they are protesting, black on black violence in the city (and most other urban cities) continues to go on without being addressed by Black Lives Matter/NAACP/Urban League/SCLC/etc.
So, why are they more focused on what a single person did/didn't do and instead address the real problem of inner city violence?

In St. Louis through 9/12, 144 people have been killed by 96 suspects (all black). Of those killed, 135 were black, 1 hispanic and 8 whites.
So as the black community continues to implode, BLM continues to focus on some outside force instead of galvanizing the various local black communities to improve themselves. I guess it's easier to blame someone else than take responsibility for one's actions.
