It seems black lives don't matter quite so much, now that we've got to the hard bit
This article linked in the article you posted is interesting:

"Revealed: What ‘Black Lives Matter’ really stands for"
Excerpt:
Anyone worth listening to agrees that black lives matter. But what does the organisation ‘Black Lives Matter’ stand for? Worryingly, for the 34,000 Brits who have topped up BLM UK’s coffers with over £1million in recent weeks, finding out is no easy task.
Despite being inundated with donations, BLM UK does not appear to have its own website and is not a registered charity. What’s more, the group is resisting calls for it to become one. So why won’t it? ‘A charity structure would not allow us the freedom and flexibility to do our political work in the ways we wish to do them,’ according to BLM UK. What then is that political work? Here are 11 things that BLM UK advocates that might make some supporters think twice about backing the organisation:
1. BLM wants to ‘dismantle capitalism’
This objective might come as a shock to many of those who have donated to the BLM cause. It might come as a particular surprise to Premier League footballers like Man City’s Kevin De Bruyne, whose shirt at Monday’s game against Burnley was emblazoned with the organisation’s slogan. De Bruyne is City’s top earner and is paid £350,000 a week. It is unlikely he would fare as well without capitalism.
2. BLM says climate change is 'racist'
BLM’s attempt to blockade Heathrow and London City airports in 2016 was greeted with widespread bemusement. Why was ‘Black Lives Matter’ trying to stop people going on holiday? The answer: ‘Climate crisis is a racist crisis,’ the group said on its Twitter feed. ‘Black people are the first to die, not the first to fly, in this racist climate crisis,’ it added.
3. BLM wants to abolish prisons
‘Prisons and detention centres should be abolished,’ BLM UK has said. It seems likely that Britain’s 80,000 prisoners would approve, but do the thousands who have donated to BLM also back this policy? And what should happen to those convicted of violent crimes like murder if there are no prisons?
4. BLM wants to get rid of borders
Britain’s borders are ‘enforced by extreme violence,’ according to BLM UK, which proposes that open borders might be the answer.
5. BLM says unemployment is 'violence'
Not having a job is miserable, but is it really 'violence'? Yes, according to BLM UK.
I can understand why people would be hesitant to support the political organisation named 'Black Lives Matter'; the agreeable term is being used by this activist group for political subversion, not social progress.
However, I agree with them partially on this point:
11. BLM describes big charities as 'colonisers'
'Big charities are nothing more than colonisers repackaged for the 21st century,' according to BLM on its official UK Facebook page.
They're not far off, tbf.

I just don't want these cities to try to swindle people. Like claiming they are slashing the cops budget, but then increasing the number of red light cameras in the city so you can gain more money that way.
You wanna do some shit like that? Take it from the salaries of the politicians who voted to slash the budget.

Yeah and they need better metrics to show success in policing, having a wall with officers on it rewarding them for how many tickets they issue seems counter intuitive to a group meant to protect and serve the public.
They'll yank money from police and we'll find the disenfranchised impacted with more fines etc to bridge the gap with what police have and what they "need."

Don't forget that BLM is actually a shell company for the Democratic Party and their politicians where an absolute minimum of 3.95% - of all donations made to BLM - goes to Democrats.

You can tell the protesters are serious about caring about black lives. It's why they tore down the statue of well known slave owner and confederate general Frederick Douglass.

Original article didn't have the full numbers yet from the weekend, updated numbers: nearly 80 shot. 15 now dead. 12 of those shot were under the age of 18, with two victims under the age of 18 being among the dead.

They may have exceeded or come close to the COVID-19 deaths for the city. We are approaching the average daily murders of black people with the COVID-19 deaths. Wonder if the media will start covering it around the clock like they did when they tried to fearmonger us with COVID-19? You know, because black lives really do matter.
