Well there's your problem. You're treating these people as
people. If you could pretend that they were all violent criminal thugs ready to shoot the police officer, it's a lot easier. Who cares if there was no gun, and the vast majority were merely a bunch of kids singing a song, that's too humanizing. You lose a bunch of your ammunition if you consider them people with their own lives.
Instead treat them as criminals, nay vermin, make sure you recognize that when the police officer paints the situation as fearing for his own safety that his life that could be in danger is much more valuable than a bunch of young Black teens who lives are in danger. Then you'll understand why running over a dozen of them is okay. And you'll be missing the entire point of why Black Live Matters needs to exist in the first place though.
