Becoming Concerned About Race-Based Protests

I would be much more impressed with the causes of "racial justice protesters" if, and only if, the following were the case:
1. That White police officers were more likely to shoot Blacks than Black officers;
2. That Black criminals were not very much more involved in those crimes which "represent a clear and present danger of death or great bodily harm" as allows OR requires the use of lethal force to stop and that yielding a higher rate of Blacks being killed by police;
3. That there would be as much concern (eg Wakes, marches and the involvement of such as Al Sharpton) about the murder, by a looter, of retired St. Louis police officer David Dorn as there was for George Floyd;
4. That Black thugs would not select-out, on the basis of race, White victims at a rate many, many, times the reverse;
5. If those "after dark protesters" would not be so actively involved in arson, physical attacks on innocent Americans, looting and that as, very much, destroys the honest, family-supporting, employment of people-of-color workers and like employer's businesses; And,
6. If the, by many orders of magnitude, the primary murders of Blacks were not other Blacks.

Please let me know when all of the above is the rule so I can "become concerned".
