Do police officers who killed white people think that white lives don't matter. Do people chanting black lives matter think that other lives don't?

Wrong question. Do white police officers make a habit of terrorizing law abiding white people the same way they habitually terrorize law abiding black people?

Ans: Not generally.

Is this a fact or your presumption?
Do you know any black people. As in seriously know them?
When somebody uses words like "habitually" or "generally" I expect either some statistics or any other proof that is a bit stronger than a friend of a friend told me... I haven't yet seen a proof that a majority of police officers are habitual racist harassers.
I'm taking that as a no. And suggest you get to know some black people.
One should rather not generalize a whole group of people based on experiences of a few individuals one knows. History has shown it to be a bad idea. If you want to have a debate in good faith, I suggest you provide facts not ad hominem attacks.
