Re: Dallas police chief: Attack suspect ‘wanted to kill white people, especially whit
In the majority of cases of cops shooting black suspects, the shooting is justified. There are only a handful of cases of cops who acted inappropriately in their use of force, and these are the cases that the media loves to exploit for ratings.
When these images are shown to people of a limited metal capacity, they say things like, "we're being hunted", or " it's open season on black folk".
Statistics mean nothing to them, even though statistics show more white suspects are shot by police every year than black suspects.
I doubt that there will be demonstrations with people marching in the street and/or rioting and burning buildings. Most people will express their feelings personally or on social media. The web is currently full of posts by people appalled by the shootings.
That said, who do you protest? When a couple of crazies get rifles and start shooting at cops or at whoever, who do we protest?
It's time to protest the mentality that, if a rogue cop kills a black man, then all cops are racists. It's time to protest the idea that everyone in a particular group is guilty of what anyone in that group does.
