Every vocal proponent of BLM, and Colin Kaepernick (remember him?!) who kickstarted the movement echoing the “hands up, don’t shoot” lie that made its way around the world and then some, should be required to read the 75 page DOJ report on Michael Brown. I’ll save them all time: one after another after another - black residents in the immediate area - meaning key eye witnesses - attested to Brown’s aggressive behavior, failure to comply with police commands, attempts to charge the officer and finally - that at no time were his hands up nor did he he plead to not be shot. The eye witnesses gave their statements but refused to go on the record for fear of retribution (by other young male blacks). Many even expressed gratitude to the police. The lies that built on lies to promote this false narrative reminds me of the current book I’m reading about the childhood vaccine schedule called, Turtles all the way down. But that’s for another discussion.

One final thought to add: Thomas Sowell’s book, Discrimination and Disparities, is another must read. He goes on to explain 3 types of discrimination - one of which involves judging an individual on the basis of the broader group they are a part of - and in the absence of more information about the individual. Here is a link to a review on the book: https://shenviapologetics.com/a-brief-review-of-sowells-discrimination-and-disparities/.

I promise once you read the chapter on the types of discrimination - it will forever change the way you understand the issue.
