BLM was established over Zimmerman's acquittal.
A lot has changed since then. Granted, the beginnings of corporate influence started to show in late 2015 / early 2016. For example, note the fact that Bernie's campaign got hijacked by BLM protesters right when he was starting to gain momentum. Strangely, they never hijacked a Hillary rally. Seems odd, doesn't it?

Zimmerman's race is an interesting factor in general. The media spent a lot of time playing up his whiteness. Numerous photos of him were lightened in articles and reports, and his Hispanic heritage was rarely touched on. The story had to have the right optics for maximum outrage. It's not as compelling of a story for the standard narratives if a minority kills another minority. It has to be a white guy as the culprit for it to matter.
And to be fair, Zimmerman is partially white. You can be a white Latino, just like there are black Latinos.
But yes, BLM protests have happened regarding people that weren't killed by cops. That much is true.
Granted, with the way the media handles all of this, only black lives matter. Duncan Lemp's life certainly didn't matter.

I have heard about that. But it didn't fool anybody. Anybody with half a brain can tell he's Hispanic.
I had to look him up. That is why I oppose no knock warrants.
You have a lot more faith in the public than I do.
Same here. But isn't it odd that Lemp's story barely made the news while Breonna Taylor's is well known (despite being a very similar story)?

That's a pretty good point. That I have no idea.
