Only a cute 8year old girl in Atlanta mattered.

From the Chicago Tribune, here're some of the juvenile fatalities for the past several weekend. Three juvenile dead from this past weekend haven't been ID'd yet.
quote:
The 7-year-old girl was one of at least 80 people shot, at least 17 of those fatally, across the city during the violent holiday weekend, starting Thursday afternoon. Gunfire erupted outside her relative’s home Saturday on the West Side, and she became the latest in a horrific string of children whose lives have been taken away by gun violence in Chicago.
“Bullets just came from nowhere,” Natalia’s grandmother, Linda Rogers, said Sunday afternoon from the site of the shooting in the Austin community. “Whoever did it, I wish they’d come forward.
“I came out here and my grandbaby (was) lying on the ground,” Rogers said as she started to cry. “I couldn’t do nothing. My baby was lying on that ground. It didn’t take a minute.”
Despite the addition of some 1,200 police officers to the streets this holiday weekend, Natalia’s death comes as Chicago continues to struggle with an especially harsh toll of violence that has continued to take the lives of children and other innocent lives.
The weekend’s other young shooting victims included a 14-year-old boy and three others who have not yet been identified. They were killed Saturday night in Englewood after four masked gunmen opened fire at a large gathering, according to police. Four others were injured in the mass shooting, including an 11-year-old boy and a 15-year-old boy.
This marked the third consecutive week that young children have been killed in gun violence. A 20-month-old boy and a 10-year-old girl were killed in separate shootings last weekend. A week earlier, five children were fatally shot, including Mekhi James, a 3-year-old boy who was shot while riding in a car with his father.

Fun fact: BLM protesters have already killed more unarmed black people than the police did in all of 2019.

The real Police Chief is located in Hoover, AL where only the cute 8 year old boy that mattered was gunned down.
Within minutes the lone participant was arrested and has been charged with Capital murder. Last night the security capture of the five that entered the mall and were involved in the gunfire exchange were shown to the public. The Police phones melted down. This morning, the Police Chief expects to make another announcement this evening. I bet real police have real answers and the Chief's warning yesterday was taken seriously ....
"If you see your picture on the screen, turn yourself in. You don't want us to come after you."

Is this really a fact?

Yes.
14 police shootings of unarmed blacks in 2019 per fbi. By June 8th, there were already 17 killed during protests.
Check my posts. I linked articles in another thread.

“At least 6 children were killed by gun violence across the nation this holiday weekend
By Hollie Silverman, CNN

Four child victims of gun violence in the US over the holiday weekend pictured from left: Natalie Wallace, Davon McNeal, Secoriea Turner, and Royta DeMarco Giles Jr.“
All four of those young children were black. Will we see protests and marches in Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris, Melbourne?
Do “Black Lives Matter” only when they are taken by white police officers?
It makes me sick to read the news every day.
