Describe in your own words what black lives matter mean?

I'm confused to what people think the black lives matter movement means. 
Describe in your own words what YOU think black lives matter means
Me first: I think the black lives matters movement started after the police started targeting and discriminating against them. I don't think it's a racist act, they we not out there killing people like the KKK's or anything of that sort. However, I think everyone can agree that there are some people who take black lives matter and give them a bad name. Like the guy who killed the two cops and said it was for the black lives matter. 
Black lives matter in my eyes is a movement to let the world know that POC are just as important than everyone else and they should be oppressed against or discriminated because of their skin color. It's a movement that stands together to peaceful protest and rally against these problems. 
update*** please educate me. I feel like as a woman of color I should know these things but everywhere I read and try to find a good discussion I get all this negative obviously there are women on this blog that know exactly what they are talking about by experience
