@dietz199 I am speaking solely for myself, and not as a barometer for other people on the forum. What happened is absolutely unacceptable. The folks in that city need to demand that he is punished. The reason other threads get so much attention is because it happens ALL THE TIME, and we(Blacks) are tired of it. You think this is a lot of threads? Clearly from your posts you are not tuned in to how many times this happens. I could list countless cases where minorities were killed that dont make the news, and the cops claimed they feared for their lives. Our problem is that they seem to ALWAYS overreact when dealing with us, not so much with others. You dont hear about a lot of cases of criminals who happen to be black being killed, because unfortunately they may have done something to deserve it.
Just in the month of July…5 Black women have died in jail in police custody. But thats not getting a bunch of coverage.
We are a small percentage of the population, yet we are a large percentage of being unarmed and being killed. If not for cell phones, and bodycams it would be business as usual. And hell, it still is in some places, ie Tamir Rice.
