Your original post didn't say anything about police though, just white people.

No I did not.

I did not just focus on white people.

I said within the last few years, white people (white cops) have killed minorities (specifically black men). These issues have been publicized. Police brutality are mostly implemented by the majority (white people)

That is just a fact.

There is no getting around it and with that point I mentioned why are people so upset at the reactions of black people when this type of thing happens everyday? Some minorities are just fed up with it and its understandable

So we shouldn't be upset about the idiots who are burning and looting businesses and people's homes in Baltimore these past couple of days?

Do you condone that sort of "demonstration"?

No I don't.... but this type of thing happens when nothing is done when innocent black people get murdered by the hands of police.

Then when black people riot, they get depicted as "wild animals" but its okay to murder innocent black lives because well.... they don't matter.

A white life is worth more than a black life.

Thats the message that is being sent.

I'm not arguing with the question you asked. I was just pointing out that you didn't say anything about cops in the OP.
