Except you aren't focusing on one thing; you are selectively focusing on a specific element of that thing.

Because if the "thing" is defined as police brutality, then why did/do Collins Khosa and Sibusio Amos and the 8 others who had reportedly also died at the hands of police during brutality during the early stages of the lockdown, receive no attention in the Western-centric media?

Viewed another way, Mr Amos was killed on 29 March and Mr Khosa on 10 April.
Those deaths occurred, respectively, 5 and 4 weeks prior to Mr Floyd's death

Is it not a perfectly logical question to ask why Black Lives Matter didn't protest against thosedeaths, and many others like them?

Most reasonably-minded people can be forgiven for thinking that its inordinately more a case of "Some Black Lives Matter."

Maybe the graphic video evidence of Mr Floyd being killed while other police officers looked on provides an answer to your question.
