You guys are stuck in this rhetorical rut where you think that the message is so sanctified that the medium should not be open to criticism.
People aren't rejecting the notion that police shouldn't kill in the course of their job. They are saying 'well then why does the manner you seek to raise awareness look EXACTLY like you reject every aspect of America.'
Make your message clear, free it from distractions, and offer up at least a modicum of a roadmap to satisfaction. It's called effective communication. And when you say 'the only things I can think of is either rejecting the flag or rioting' it puts reasonable people at their wits end as to how to make progress.
Plenty of people justify the looting with destroying property because they claim those people treat properly better than black people. That’s a real hard pass given the treatment issues black people have towards each other. That and the fact that people (media, outrage, company statements, etc.) only care when a white cop kills a black person but not the other way around makes it much harder to sympathize with their cries for equality.

There is nothing reasonable about the position he seems to hold of agree with my form of protest or be labeled part of the problem. [Reply]

Let me guess, you use the all lives matter hash tag just to feel like you are better than others, don't you?

Hasn’t been oppressing white people? Being a white male is a sin in today’s America. [Reply]

I’m just fascinated that people only care when it’s a very specific set of circumstances around police killing that lead to national discussions on police brutality. But when you view some killings as worst than others because of history like you do, it does add a little helpful context. George Floyd might even be alive today if when the video of the person in Dallas came out last year media and other people who claim to care about police brutality would have made a bigger deal about it to start a national discussion.

I'm just going to go ahead and put an end to this nonsense. Are you black? [Reply]
Still waiting for an answer as to why kneeling is disrespecting the troops and/or flag - but "Home of the CHIEFS" is not.
I noticed Babble Lee and the other dude - who I can't recall anything he's ever posted before but apparently knows me really well - kind gave up on going down that road. [Reply]

Nah, just done with you. My take is on this forum. In the esteemed words of your attention raisers, . . . educate yourself. [Reply]
