However... I read the Baton Rouge police man who shot the guy on the ground point blank had four previous similar situations where he was exonerated. Oops! Anyway, if a black person isn't armed with a gun they will still say they are armed with a screwdriver or even a sidewalk (that's what they actually admitted in court in Florida against Trayvon Martin!)... I am absolutely sure if some of these black victims had been white they'd be alive, like that little kid in the park with the toy gun, but no way can anyone 'prove' that. In Seattle a native artist who looked scruffy to rookie police officer was walking with a carving knife and didn't obey the sudden yells to drop the knife from the squad car. I also think had they been white they'd be alive. I've seen black people treated differently from me while in the U.S. more than once. Maybe if more white people say it, black lives matter, period, end of? You don't need to add anythng more, you're just being thick if you do.

And native American lives matter, they get treated badly, racistly a lot too.

The price of freedom (2nd amendment-wise)? Is there a freedom to not feel a need to have to bear arms?

White people get killed by the police all the time. However, newspapers don't say White person shot by cops. They do say Black person shot by cops. The media has as an agenda. We had a big discussion about this at work and it was very pro police. Unfortunately people who take an incident to justify a war on the police are the problem.
