Here in the USA we formed a society based on rule of law. One of the key facets of our founding documents provides for the common defense of our borders.
The fallacious thinking you have presented has no bearing on the reality here.
You as an individual do not get to decide these matters. In the USA we do that as a society.
You can say a rainbow means that God chose you to be a messenger but that really isn’t meaningful.

Really fundamentally anti-American sentiment there. Goes against everything this country was founded on. Inalienable human rights, endowed by a creator. And what was meant by that is natural rights (the "creator" being that creator which is evident and present through nature). The specific laws, and especially laws which violated those inalienable rights, were never meant to drive society. Our society is crafted on the idea of a higher concept than law.
You've missed the entire country, all of its history, and all of its brilliance with that misguided post.
Edit:
Gonna do another round here. Another great thing about our country that you missed is that the defense of its borders was not intended to be defense against peaceful immigration. This nation was founded by immigrants, and immigration was its cornerstone for a very long time. Go tour New York sometime to remind yourself about our history of immigration.
The idea that peaceful immigration represents some kind of violent invasion is repugnant.

I'm gonna guess the founding document for border protection focuses more on an invading force than immigration.
Lest we forgot what's sitting on the Statue of Liberty, the global icon of immigration into the US.

Last I knew Brees still topped the Saints' depth chart, was never really in any danger of not doing so and is ready to suit up in a couple weeks; and Kaepernick still hasn't played in the NFL for years. Even speaking as someone who always believed that Kaepernick simply wasn't good enough to make his outspokenness worth the trouble, clearly the double standard hasn't really been that widespread of a belief.

Brees got death threats from the regressive left cancel culture.
He never should have apologized for speaking the truth.
Kaepernick is a complete tool run by
The same ilk who would misconstrue the Constitution as above and seek to destroy it.
Luckily when it gets to that level it goes to the judicial.
(Thank goodness Trump has appointed so many good judges :

And Kaep got death threats from the regressive right.
The same way Kaep. shouldn't have had to apologize for exercising his right to protest & free speech without being told "If you're gonna kneel, maybe you shouldn't be in the country"?
Ah, delicious irony.Kaepernick is a complete tool run by
The same ilk who would misconstrue the Constitution as above and seek to destroy it.
Luckily when it gets to that level it goes to the judicial.
(Thank goodness Trump has appointed so many good judges :
The same "complete tool" that good ol' Trump just said, should be given a chance to play in the NFL as long as he can actually play.

And I'm sure Kaepernick gets death threats to this day for things he did nearly half a decade ago. He certainly did at the time. People get death threats for making jokes about videogames on YouTube. People get death threats for appearing in crappy movies. For at least a decade "someone got sent death threats" is a concept that has ceased having actual meaning that can be used to portray groups as particularly radical in their beliefs; and is mostly brought up to dismiss discussion about the thing that caused the death threats in the first place.
Amusingly for the purposes of your argument, using "That person got death threats, therefore whatever they did that people disliked cannot be questioned any longer by anybody" is a tactic I most frequently see by people in stereotypical SJW places like ResetEra or Tumblr.

Someone needs to tell NickFromJersey the RNC isn't in New Zealand. I'll leave my comment at that...

I don't understand, are you saying that "a lot of people" should be arguing against the message against police brutality? Or that it only counts when it occurs on the other side of the world?
How are issue-specific protests invalid because they don't simultaneously address all unrelated causes equally? It sounds like whataboutism to me.
It's one thing for big corporations like the NBA to be called out as hypocrites. I'm just not sure how it applies to everyone who ever picked up a sign to protest what happened to George Floyd though.

Did you...did you fall and hit your head? This isn't an answer to the question that I asked.
Context matters.
You asked what makes BLM so special that it should garner your attention and why you should care about a victim of police brutality in America.
I indicated that it's apparent you do care (though the meaning of the word here isn't the one typically utilized) and that it does have your attention, and pointed to your attempts at deflection such as citing justified shooting statistics and alleging hypocrisy because people are protesting one thing and purportedly not protesting a completely random other thing.
You then, in response to part of my post, asked how it's deflection, seemingly disregarding the other parts of the very same post wherein I elaborate on the deflection, and then said it's saying you can't understand why this has grown so much bigger than other causes.
As the two sentences are seemingly unrelated, I then asked for clarification on the above "it".
Among the hazards of cherrypicking responses is the potential to completely lose the script, though this may well be deliberate.
I don't know what any of these things are, though the question itself strikes me as an attempt to deflect from the topic at hand. Pattern of behavior.

I think the comic is missing a crucial part.

Yay, Bill!
What really stood out to me was the response to the tweet. He usually gets maybe four or five comments on an upload, and a quarter to a fifth of them are to the tune of "hey, check out the cartoons on this site."
This one's getting much more attention. 209 comments when I saw it, and just a ****-ton are from triggered Trumpkins.
I'm proud of you, Bill.
