Because misfits can't stand living with their own inferiority in everything else, they have to justify their miserable existence by imagining that at least they are morally superior.
I don't think that's it. Rather, they want to pretend their problems are due to misdeeds on the part of others.

And when I see as many outcries for the justification of white collar criminals being shot by the police, I might just buy that. But let's face it, while all criminals are equal, some are more equal than others.I don't see anyone saying that. If anything, what's going on is a criminal lives don't matter attitude.
White collar criminals rarely threaten the police. That's almost entirely the realm of violent criminals.
Your quote
If anything, what's going on is a criminal lives don't matter attitude.
But white collar criminals are the well behaved criminals so the police would not be justified in shooting them, is that what you are saying? If so I am not seeing a criminal lives don't matter attitude, which was your claim.
NOW I suppose it is scary criminal lives don't matter.
But wait...

What about
Tamir Rice the 12 year old playing in the park with a toy gun? He wasn't a criminal at all
Perhaps John Crawford's crime was buying a BB gun at WalMart?
Jonathan Ferrell and Tanisha McBride must have been guilty of that famous crime of being in an accident and seeking help.
Maybe just being scary is the crime,
Maybe scary lives don't matter.
Gee, what do all these people have in common that might make them scary?
