Am I the only one who feels like the news on these shootings is meant to drive us apart?

No, you aren't the only one. This looks way too much like a coordinated effort. The media has wanted another race war in this country for 40 years. Consider that most of the "cop killings" of suspects have been white people, not blacks, but you NEVER see footage of the whites getting killed (which, as bad as I hate to say it, seems incredibly suspicious: there are always people around with cell phones when blacks are getting killed, as if they know it's going to happen, but never when a Caucasian suspect is gunned down?????). Less than 5% of the people shot by cops are later found to not be justified (and that's all shootings, not just the fatal ones). Plus you have these attention-seeking so-called "leaders" who want to keep their position of power, and the only way they can do that is by trying to convince people that they are being oppressed and "need" them as a "leader." Also consider that billionaire George Soros has reportedly given over $30 million to "black lives matter." Thirty million would go a long way to getting black youths college degrees and productive jobs where they wouldn't feel that they had to resort to crime, so what's the real agenda here? And I know this might sound funny, but it wouldn't surprise me if the Klan or other "white supremacists" weren't behind all of this. The reason I say that is that they present African-Americans as violent criminals, and when one kills a cop such as happened in Dallas or Baton Rouge, they can say, "See? We told you!" I'm also a little suspicious of the fact that the last two attacks on police were perpetrated by people who have been quickly identified as military veterans. There's a war on veterans going on in this country, too, but it's not heard about because most of the deaths of the veterans are by the veterans' own hands.
