It is a proverb not a slogan.

Awful and tragic as the unwarranted killing of Breonna Taylor is and the police should be investigated and prosecuted, I see the family is to receive $12 million compensation. Awards of that magnitude are like winning the lottery.
Parents lose adult children for many reasons, they may be soldiers or airmen, police, traffic accidents, illness and suicide, and it is right that dependents get financial support as just compensation but non-dependents, should they get such huge awards?

You cannot compensate for the loss of a life, but you can provide for the liabilities that the deceased bore for raising others (children and other dependants).

Quite. As 26 and living independently compensation should be much less.

In contrast, just watched the clip about the Manchester bombing. There children lost their parents, now that is a clear case for compensation.
The $12 million compensate is quite in order and may even be less than it should be.
If the police came to believe that every time they kill a black person the family will receive significant compensation maybe they will come to think twice about what they should do!

So is there a tariff - like the one for wild game?

Yes, something like that except in this case the compensation money comes from the police payroll funds.

And did these black lives justify a riot, an d looting?? Oh sorry just another black on black. Much more horrific, but most unlikely to hit the headlines of major press outlets, spoils the narrative.
And another that will likely get no airing by BLM press
