There are, they just aren't as heavily attended. There isn't much of a stink made over it. It's usually used as a photo-op by the local activist of the month looking to earn national fame.
Perhaps in the community black lives only matter when a cop does the killing. Perhaps it's the fact there isn't money to be made being an activist for black on black crime. Perhaps they are just scared of going up against the local gangs.
Whatever the case is, it's impossible to deny the different responses. The biggest protests this weekend in Chicago were over the actions of another police department halfway across the country who killed a convicted rapist and domestic abuser who was resisting arrest with a firearm. It wasn't over the 100+ people who were shot over the course of the week in our own city.
