If you had a video of a white cop shooting an unarmed innocent black kid for just walking down the street, I'd say racism for sure. This one was a kid that assaulted a police office and got shot. That's cause and effect to me. And the evidence supports this claim. All we have is the evidence and we must decide based on what we know. Not what we assume.

wait. so how about the kid in ohio with the toy gun. was he shot by police because of racism?

I just asked the same question. John Crawford as well. If that's the standard both of those men were killed because of racism, since neither one were committing a crime.

You could, if you were open to what I'm trying to say.

The reason why most people don't see the racism in some things is because you're accustomed to racism as being this in your face thing. Like I said, it has to be a solid thing in order for you to call it racism. It doesn't matter that white criminals can go on killing sprees and be apprehended without incident, yet a black person can be gunned down for playing with a toy gun. Why a white guy can walk into a store with an automatic weapon on his back right after a mass shooting, but a black guy can't walk through the parking lot without being tackled by some dude because he has a legal handgun.

It's been long documented how black people are treated in regards to the law, even the law abiding ones are treated like we've broken the law. And what's the excuse? Well, you people commit more crime so we get to profile you.

Right, well, there are problems in society Marvin. Even racism. I know that.

But in the justice system, you hear the evidence and you make a decision. Based on this case. I don't see any evidence to support the claims that this kid was "executed" due to racism. You have to look at the matter at hand.

I think that's part of the problem. People are holding that incident up as a case of blatant police brutality, when there's no evidence of it. I gotta believe that there are real cases of racially motivated police violence out there. I doubt it's as prevalent as CNN and the race warriors want it to be, but I suspect it does exist.

there are people who believe a police officer taking a life without that person getting their day in court and a legitimate death sentence - is police brutality. all other arguments of race or class becomes moot.

Tell me then. Explain it to me, since my experience as a black person doesn't seem to matter.

When you comment on matters that are racial, the fact that you're black means that there's an inherent bias. Nothing wrong with that. But at least admit it.

Hmm I bolded the toy gun part for you. Pur on your glasses.

[GandD 5,966]

What about Tamir Rice? Or John Crawford III? We have videos in those cases, do we get to claim racism?

If the rule is, assaulting a police officer warrants a death sentence, then why did Eric Frein, who shot and killed a state trooper then wounded another one, wasn't killed on sight?

I don't know about any of them. I only know about the Michael Dunn stuff because its on the TV constantly and I happened to watch the grand jury decision announcement. Are you trying to prove racist things happen in this world or that the michael brown shooting was racist because other racist things happen?

you think the cops shot that kid because he was black.

I don't know much about that case either.

inherent bias leaning towards what, exactly?

Didn't say he was, but let's be honest about it, black people are handled differently(read poorly) in regards to the law. And that's what the protests are about.

So if a cops life is in danger, he should just go ahead and allow himself to be killed? Just so the guy can have his day in court? Probably not going to have many people signing on for that job. At least in rough neighbourhoods.

I agree. But it doesn't help when those protests center around a specific case that doesn't support that claim.
