I think there are too many wrong killings of people, especially minorities, and some of those by police.

We need to do more to improve things - from the culture to the accountability of police and prevention to de-militarizing police.

However: I also think it's important we remember the larger issue and recognize this is one part of the issue, not the whole issue.

Far more people are wrongly killed by non-police and that's an issue as well things can be done to improve, but there's not a movement about those killings. There probably should be or rolled into this one.

But on police specifically, we should also remember what's missing from this picture - including that a similar banner could be made of police wrongly killed by people.

I'm not equating them - we should have a higher standard for police behavior, of course - but they deserve respect also.

And we should remember that most police do not do the wrong killings, but they do serve us at risk to themselves, and deserve oour appreciation.

Our approach needs to be one of 'we the non-violent people excluding the murderous people want to join with the majority of police who serve the public, and demand the issue of when police do wrongly kill people be addressed and reformed.'

Not one of 'the police are all wannabe murderers and the enemy', because it's not correct, or far - and by the way, would prevent the reforms we want.

That's a danger in movements like this - for a movement rightly against a problem to start to generalize and include the innocent police as much as the guilty, and that'd be a mistake. Let's fight the legitimate problem.
