re: Why are black people so emotionally invested in these police shootings?

I think it is safe to to say that the majority of white people really don't give a shite when some random white person is killed by the police especially if that person has a violent criminal past. Why do black people act like it was one of their family members who died. I constantly here people talking about holding back tears, expressing their unbridled anger and disgust etc.... It does not make sense to be so emotionally invested in some random person on the other side of the country.
A black high school classmate of mine was spouting off of this on the facebook. The answer if you had any question... white supremacy.
You see white people get to be individuals, but white supremacy requires all minorities to be judged by their race, so black people are pre-conditioned to think as a collective, and feel things more deeply and connectively as a community.
I tried to point out the self defeating logic of that line of thought, but he just got mad. I wanted to ask why they didn't hurt that deeply for instances of black on black crime, but I didn't feel like loosing my business this week.

They're not. The ones in front of a camera are.

Maybe. Most of the ones leaving the Target store after setting fire to it and rescuing all of the Nike's will beg to differ.

Tribal mentality.
To paraphrase from Animal House, “You can’t kill black people! Only WE can kill black people!”
Apparently one death by cop is a tragedy while 97% of black murders being black on black crime is just a statistic.

Oh in public they would. But they don’t give a frick about the dead person. They give a frick about having an excuse to act out.

I don’t think so. I know solid middle to upper class people who seem genuinely distraught by these cases. They seem to view it as it could possibly be one of their friends or family members even when it is a piece of shite violent criminal because even in their posiistjon in life they still view it as the norm.

I have often wondered this as well.
Let's be honest, I do not believe many black people would have anything to do with George Floyd if he were living today...but he died in resistance of his arrest, and they come together.
it must have something to do with the black experience in America...
If you don't know a man, don't know the facts of his specific case, then there is no reason to get upset or start a riot. Just go back to minding your own business...
for some reason, it's about the police
because when blacks kill each other, 6500 a year, there is no outrage...
strange

That’s what get me. An 8 year old African American boy was shot in Hoover last year during a shootout. No marches. No celebrities tweeting hashtags. Nothing. Fast forward a few months later. A 4 year old was shot in a park. Same deal.
Those were senseless killings that happen at a much higher rate than any kind at the hands of police that everyone gets up in arms about. It’s really sad because if this same energy was directed towards those incidents, we could see so much more be done that could truly help the black community. But the ones that make the news involve race or at least it fits the narrative of race. America is obsessed with race.

They stuck together in every issue so they get their way all the time. Ask 100 white people an opinion on anything and libel to get 59 different options. Ask them about an issue and they are all in, one opinion and they don’t except anything else.

For those who want to be angry at "the man," it is the perfect outlet/excuse to act however irrationally they want. Confirmation bias is a symptom of ignorance.

Pretty simple really, if it can’t be made into a police problem then it has to be a black problem, and if it’s a black problem it will lead to the question of why 55% of the violent crime in America is committed by a demographic that makes up only 13% of the population.

I just assumed dangerous white criminals were killed in interactions with the cops on a regular basis. The streets don’t clean themselves. Haven’t these people seen Training Day?
