The Making Black Lives Matter Issue of The New American Magazine
The publisher sold out in 3 weeks. The ignored reality is that ALL lives matter. The lives of police, both white and black, also matter. Jay Stalien, a black police officer in Palm Beach County, points to the black lives that are regularly lost due to black on black crimes, where police are shunned and prevented from solving crimes. Black Lives Matter has had a tremendous effect in increasing hatred toward police. Jay is truly saddened on behalf of officers, blacks, and all Americans who all suffer because of the anti-police atmosphere. When black men and women are killed by other blacks we do not hear anything from black lives matter. We only hear that black lives matter when a tragic death can be exploited politically to promote hatred of police or hatred of whites.
If all black lives matter does it make sense to undermine the protection of black lives from rampant criminal activity?
