Whose Lives Matter?

So whose lives matter? Is it only black lives? Does it include the many black lives that are killed in black on black violence? Perhaps it is only about the relatively few who end up killed while in confrontation with police. Do the lives of police matter? Does it matter that a black man is accused of shooting and killing a Houston Texas deputy Friday night? Does it matter that a black man gunned down two journalists on live TV last week? Don't all lives matter?

And I've said it before, but where is the protest for the 3-year-old boy who was beaten to death a week ago by his mother's boyfriend? Did his life matter? That is quite an interesting set of priorities that is being preached lately. When will we say "enough?"
