SUMMARY POINTS: People in Nigeria have been protesting against the country's Special Anti-Robbery Squad, also known as SARS, for weeks.

SARS has long been accused of carrying out extrajudicial killings and torture in the country.

The demonstrations started after footage of SARS members dragging two men from a hotel in Lagos, and beating them in the streets with clubs, circulated on social media.

On Tuesday, security forces opened fire at a peaceful protest in Lagos, Nigeria's biggest city, leaving several people dead and dozens wounded.

The unrest has prompted high-profile global figures like US Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, Beyoncé, and Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo to speak out. (MORE - details)

Cynical Sindee: How awful for a handful of US celebrities and Party spokespeople that things have become so bad that they are forced to speak out about how black lives matter even when there is no race angle for poseur "wisdom kings" such as themselves to profit from career-wise.

How great that Nigerians don't have to act politically withdrawn at a national level just because this is black-on-black violence -- that victims matter without requiring white offenders to give their beatings and deaths value at a national level (as in the crazy, upside land across the ocean).

Imagine that: They can be like average folk around the world and blame it on over-zealous authorities and government rather than having to additionally babble about systemic oppressed/oppressor conspiracy theory models borrowed from whacko Marxism, because they're urged to pose as "special victims" to avoid scolding or figuratively maintain card-carrying Party membership.

Yeah, really sad that black = victim, supposedly regardless of individual accomplishment.
