I guess a new campaign should be started called White Lives Matter. The reason I say this is because the truth of the matter is that police kill more white people than black people. You are probably thinking that that is misleading because there are more white people than black people. But the truth of the matter is that even when you adjust for that, police still kill more white people than black people.

"Adjusted to take into account the racial breakdown of the U.S. population, he said black men are 3.5 times more likely to be killed by police than white men. But also adjusted to take into account the racial breakdown in violent crime, the data actually show that police are less likely to kill black suspects than white ones."

The bottom line (as the title of the article says) is that "Police kill more whites than blacks, but minority deaths generate more outrage."
