Damn I was going to say that

We in sector 6G are faster and smarter. Just ask Smithers.

Does anyone on here know why saying all lives matter could cause such a negative reaction? I seemingly rather naively said it and got a load of shit for it.

Because it's almost always used as a way to try and delegitimize Black Lives Matter and portray it as divisive and problematic. The key question you need to ask is whether you've ever seen anyone say it at any time other than when BLM is trending. It's kinda like all of those blokes on International Women's Day who ask "When's International Men's day?" but then when it actually is International Men's Day are nowhere to be found.

Just reported here that the killer cop is getting his charge bumped up to 2nd degree murder and the other plums are getting charged.

This is all starting to look a little like a Totalitarian regime. Putin would be proud.

Ok, I understand that, thanks. Maybe I'm just too simplistic in thinking their shouldn't be a BLM or WLM, just ALM.

This is the problem though. People will react based on the common usage of such things, and other people can use them fairly innocently and get caught in the crossfire. You live and learn, I guess.

All the rioting, looting and violence against people protecting their properties / businesses is guaranteed to increase Trumps support I'd suggest.

Great news, but I'll believe it when I see it (as in an actual conviction, with a reasonable sentence).
