Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Black Lives Also Matter would have been much better

Better, but still not optimal, since the whole thing about about police brutality, and that slogan says nothing about that. Even with the "also", in general it comes off as an accusation of racism toward whoever you say it to (especially since it was said mostly to other 'random' citizens, not cops).

If I walked up to a random person and said "hey, women's lives matter", I should expect to get one or more of these responses:

Uh, duh? Who said otherwise?
Why are you saying that to me? Do you think I don't think they do?

Because those are the implications that kind of phrase carries.
