The motorist, Daniel K. Harris, 29, was shot and killed by the trooper, Jermaine Saunders, just after 6 p.m. last Thursday after Mr. Harris failed to pull over during a traffic stop near Charlotte, Sgt. Michael Baker, a spokesman for the state’s highway patrol, said in a statement.
“After a brief pursuit,” Sergeant Baker said, “the driver exited his vehicle, and an encounter took place between the driver and the trooper, causing a shot to be fired. The driver succumbed to his injuries at the scene.”

For example
Where is the media frenzy? Where is BLM? Where are the riots?
FYI, there have been 15 black victims.

No, where's the white community and the white leaders? Don't any of you care enough that the police are brutally killing unarmed citizens?

You know full well that the white community doesn't have its own "community leaders", who are explicitly representative of white interests.
Many, many whites in this country have railed against police brutality in genuine instances, they just don't racialize the issue unnecessarily. And unlike the black community acts when a black criminal is killed in sensationalized cases, the white community doesn't riot when a white criminal is killed by cops.
So how many more unarmed white people need to die before you actually start doing something? Even though many, many white people rally, they are still getting brutalized. Don't you care the government is killing unarmed citizens and it's rising more and more?

We've all been trained that if we stick up for our race we are racist.
No, you only get that impression because every "white advocacy" group inevitably talks about how all the other races are screwing up the country.

I don't know why white people are more likely to ignore such abuse of power. Maybe we just haven't been pushed to the breaking point yet.
The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation is conducting a criminal inquiry into the fatal shooting of a deaf motorist by a state trooper last week.
They dont ignore it. They prosecute it in a legal manner, which is not media frenzy worthy, apparently.

You should realize that facts and the truth have no place in this discussion!I'm not going to go through every single incident and it appears I dont have to. Starting from the top...
Jesse Beshaw-Arrested for burglary, wouldnt show his hands, then attacked the officer
Danial Harris-Pulled over for traffic violation (prior arrests for traffic violation, theft, and resisting arrest) and ignored officers commands, got out of his car, and started towards the officer.
Marcos Antonio Gastelum-Investigated for taking pictures of children and trying to get them into his car. When the deputy stopped Gastelum's vehicle, he got out and attacked the deputy
Dylan Noble-Police were searching for a man walking in the street with a rifle when they noticed a truck speeding nearby and attempted to pull it over. Noble got out of the truck and reached behind his back.
Cuz he was a dumbass.
I dont get spun up over the race of the individual shot by the cops...white, black, brown, or green. Most white folk I know would look at most instances as coited and say you know what? **** em. Sorry...I feel bad for their families. I feel bad for the cop that was put in that situation. For the individual? Not so much.
BTW...for the record...19 dead white 'victims' vs 15 dead black 'victims'. Overall including armed perpetrators...321 white 'victims' vs 172 black 'victims'.
People tend to lose reason and rational thought when all they can focus on is skin color.You should realize that facts and the truth have no place in this discussion!
How dare you muddy the water with such frivolous information! :mrgreen:
I'm not concerned when criminals are killed by police, whether they're white, black or any other race is irrelevant.
Citizens are innocent until proven guilty by a jury of their peers. Not sure if you're aware but that's actually one of the cornerstones of society. Nobody is a criminal until they have been tried as such. The job of the police is to apprehend these people. Not kill them.

I think its important to recognize that there ARE legit instances where cops over react, mis-react, and sometimes react in an outright criminal manner. However...not every instance of an unarmed citizen being shot is unjustified.If you engage a police officer in a manner that forces him to draw his weapon, you need to understand that lethal force is a possible outcome if you persist. It's simple. If the police have reason to stop you, obey their orders and keep your hands in plain view. How hard is that?
