Let's tell it both ways, shall we? Maybe see what sticks.
With Raptard, of course, it's already settled: The kid was absolutely, beyond any reasonable doubt, Guilty; and the cop was absolutely justified in summarily executing him. Woulda probably been OK to lynch him, if there'd been a tree handy, for the ALLEDGED theft of a boox of cigars.

Nobc - where have I ever said ANYONE deserved to be shot ? Or that the cop was blameless??
And wtf is up with the name calling?
How is this an issue where you get so bent that you feel justified in insulting - anyone??

Not What....this does not happen with whites because they are white. It does not happen in white neighborhoods because white neighborhoods are not war zones. That is not a prejudicial statement. It is a fact. When was the last time you heard of a kid being shot in a drive by in a white neighborhood. How about never.

What I think is more disturbing is the militarization of the police. Since when did they get (or need) armored vehicles and assault weapons? That kind of militarization breeds a godlike attitude on the part of the cops.
Black parents have to teach their young men how not to get roughed up/ beaten/ killed by the cops. We're not any different than days past, when a cop could throw any black man against the car and take him into jail for any reason, or no reason at all.

Would be nice if black parents would teach their kids not to commit so many crimes, and violent crimes , in the first place.
Of course, 2 parent homes do a better job of that than 1 parent homes, and sadly, far too many black families are lacking in that dept.
Thanks LBJ and the Great Society !

Did not speak about Asians or Latinos. Only about the culture that has developed in Black communities. Violent.....

And the culture that has developed in Asians and Latinos as well? Heck, I know two people who were pistol-whipped in their own homes, one by a Latino gang member and one by a Vietnamese gang member.
Maybe it has something to do with lack of jobs and lack of respect?

There were laws changed about letting unused armored vehicles and machine guns go to scrape instead of to local communities. It was a result of 911. It's a bit overdone in smaller communities.

Nor did they look like criminals.
