Current Events > Why is it only a big deal when black people are shot by police...

^ This guy wasn't black btw. But I remember when that guy in Missouri was shot, we had riots, it was all over the news, and they kept showing that dumb ass on the street corner saying "hands up, don't shoot!"

Why isn't anything like that happening now? Is this guy who was just killed less important? This has always bothered me. People need to raise hell about this too. He was innocent and wasn't stealing or attacking anyone. Watch this story slowly disappear.

Pisses me off that the news only makes a big deal over certain people and that people only riot when someone who is black is killed. They aren't the only ones that this happens too.

I guess this will get marked for trolling because I had an opinion that didn't agree with the general consensus....

Black people care when black people get shot. White people don't care when anyone gets shot.

Honestly, I'm not racist and have several black friends. The only thing that is kind of annoying to me is how when I'm talking to a black person and another black person shows up, they ignore me and just talk to each other because I'm not black.

The black people I work with can always be seen standing in a circle talking to each other and if I try to converse with them during that time, they just look at me funny. Also if a black person is being a douche bag and talking crap to people, the black people will make excuses for them.

Why do black people stick together no matter what and treat everyone that isn't black like an enemy. Never understood that, I've always tried to get along with them and not pay attention to anyone's race but that seems to be a big issue. I judge people based on whether they do right or wrong, not by race and if you are the type of person who makes excuses for someone just because they are the same race as you, black or not, then you are racist.

It's a big deal when people get shot when it's not warranted. Which happens more to black people

Not true, it's just guys like Reverand Al Sharpton and people like yahoo news that make it seem that way, but it happens to other races too.

Hypocritically in many cases. If he had been black, I doubt the DailyCaller/DailyWire would have called it "murder" given the viewpoints expressed by the editors of these sites in regards to other cases like Tamir Rice.

Maybe not wait for black people to stick up for you just because they stick up for themselves, white folks only care "what about me?" when too many black people stand up for themselves. What does it say when the only time white people bring up other white people getting shot/killed by cops is when black people stand up about it?
---

Black people and white people get shot all the time by police (probably more whites get shot) and the majority are not propagandised. I often wonder "why this one and not the other 99?" I can only assume distraction.
---

Why do bigots always suggest that every time a unarmed black person is shot there are riots. most time when a unarmed black person is shot there are not riots. The places that had riots had a HUGH under currant of other racial issues. So please tell me I want to know this .

"I have black friends"

I know it's morbid to say, but the Swat were called and ready to bust into the guys place. However the guy who was there when he knocked just pulled his trigger immediately. It's not the same as a race based shooting since it was more of a blindfire.

The hotel guy, which I assume was the cop who made him practically do the Hokey Pokey, had several chances to cuff the guy, had the words "You're Fucked" on his gun, and had yelled contradictory orders.

Remember that case where a muslim cop got scared and murdered a white woman and the media made the whole thing pretty much dissappear?

What? The media covered that extensively. There were even protests over it.

And the cop being "Muslim" had nothing to do with the shooting yet right-wing media kept harping on that as if it was relevant. Just like how the left would emphasize the whiteness of a cop in a white-on-black police shooting (even though multiple studies have found no evidence that white cops are anymore likely to use force with black suspects than cops of other races).

It dissappeared after like 3 days. The Australian media covered it more than the American media.

No, that was why it dissappeared so fast. Because he was a pisspoor trained diversity hire that was fast-tracked just so the department could fill a quota. He had no place being an officer and only got there so liberals could pat themselves on the back.

I don't know if your account is named after the band or the wrestler, but that username is too good for you.

One thing I've noticed for sure about a lot of black people is that they are good at getting eachother fired up. Like sometimes at work I will just listen to some of the ideas they have about things some of it makes sense but some of it is crazy. I've even asked some of them where they hear these things sometimes and they're like "Oh my friend told me" or "Oh I just heard someone talking about it." Not sure why that is.

White guys I've worked with are like that too but what I don't get is why all of those black people rioted over that guy in Missouri that was killed yet no one riots over this? Not sure if it's the news to blame or just the people that started rioting, but it's just crazy how quick they go from 0 to 100 sometimes.
