This post ignores the very reason for this nationwide protest. We are not criminals when our tail lights go out and none of us should be shot when we are pulled over for a traffic violation . Even if someone does engage in a "criminal" act the vast majority of those acts do not warrant a shooting. When my grandson got a DUI he paid his fines and did his time and I am very grateful that some nervous officer did not decide to shoot him. When my Black nephew was visiting I was afraid for his safety even though I was completely confident he would not be breaking any laws. The problem is that law abiding people are indeed being shot because of the color of their skin. Those signs serve to remind us that real people and real families are involved and that there is a real and present danger for people of color in many places.
