Can you explain to me why Black Lives Matter complain about the police, but never say anything about the violence in their own neighborhood. If Black Lives Matter shouldn't they do something about the crime in their community?

Black Lives Matter is a civil rights movement which advocates for equal lives, respect, and freedom for all people regardless of race. The core principle of Black Lives Matter is that anti-Black racism and brutality against the Black community must be addressed and ended through collective action. While the Black Lives Matter chapter in Dallas/Fort Worth takes proactive measures to try to reduce violent crime on local blocks, their mission statement does not indicate an intention or responsibility to do so. Furthermore, activists around the US have raised concerns regarding overzealous police activities targeting disproportionately higher numbers of African Americans in general population locations like gas stations or public transportation nodes.
