Of course all lives matter. But if racial identities were homes, there are a few on fire in the United States and it doesn't make much sense to call the fire department for every house when a few urgently need the attention more. Is that fair?

Let's word this a different way.

If 6 black people's homes were on fire, and 4 white people's homes were on fire, wouldn't it make more sense to send firefighters to all the houses?

It should be recognised that having a violent interaction with police in America occurs more often than every other first world country regardless if your black or white.
