It is important to keep in mind that this is not about protesting just police brutality: police brutality is just one part of systemic inequality affecting POCs, especially black people, in the US.

With that in mind, it is important to put an understanding of public health data in context with systemic racism, and why the data looks like it how it does.

For instance, black Americans are disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic itself. Protesting that “Black Lives Matter” during a pandemic that takes black lives seems self-defeating to me.

It's unjust that black people are more affected by Covid!

What are we going to do!?

Gather in large groups while screaming in close proximity to each other!
