> Daniel Shaver's death is not argument against BLM's goals, it's an argument in favor of them.

Exactly. I've seen far more outrage about the death of a white man from those who say black lives matter than from those saying all lives matter.

  Black Lives Matter is against police brutality of all forms and against all people.

Shaver isn't the only non-Black victim of police violence that BLM has been involved in supporting either. While their focus has always been Black people, they have never operated in an exclusive way at all.
