COMMENT: A white guy comes out of a theater with guns, combat gear having just killed, maimed and petrified many at the show. Somehow the police are able to calmly take him in without incident. Alive
A black man is arrested handcuffed in the back of the squad car for a small amount of weed and some suspicious plastic bags. He somehow manages to kill himself with a concealed gun. Dead Trayvon had just skittles and a drink and today he is here no more. Dead
Time and time again when Black people encounter the police or police wannabes they seem to die.I wonder whether if the cops arriving at the movie that night had seen a Black man or, Heaven forbid, a Muslim attired man with those guns he would be alive today. History can inform us on the answer. Dead. That night when the resources of the city was focused on a Black man with “an estimated $10.00 weed stash” and a small plastic bag the real drug users of America were getting away free as usual. Alive

That’s a very cynical view. Plus, you’re assuming all the police are white. This is no longer true. My father was a policeman and he was a very ethical person who wanted to serve others. And he risked his life to do it. Not all police are bad. I’m sure there are some that are power hungry, and I know racial profiling does exist, but like my father said, “people don’t like the police until they need one.”
Bill AND Spanish Inquisitor, HOPE YOU ARE STILL THERE ?
This isnt a Fact that all police are bad but majority of them are…They assume all black males are bad so its safe to assume all cops are too!!! I dont see how this young man killed his self with handcuffs on… We now live in a world that the majority of the races are bi racial so why must we continue racism!!!
