    The simple fact is that if he was black this would be national news and it's not even debatable.

    That's not necessarily true because there are many other black people who are killed by the police that don't make national news....

    But it seems your beef is with the media and not black people... But yet you're upset with black people because the media isn't talking about this kid and it doesn't even seem you give a flip that this kid is dead... You just see an opportunity to bytch about black people.

    Getting it right doesn't excuse it.

    A 19 year old is dead over a little weed, the officer "getting what's coming" doesn't bring the kid back to live, this is a tragedy.

    That's assuming the original story that the kid tried to hit them with the car is false. Can we really assume that? Michael Brown's family had an "independent autopsy" done that concluded he was shot in the back....just like this kid's family, and the autopsy done by the Brown family was thoroughly debunked later. I think we should wait for this case to develop more before we start putting on tin foil hats.

    Take your blindfolds off for a sec and stop trying to make this about me.

    The media is creating a false narrative which is the that the African American community is being oppressed by the police which is simply not true! When whites are or any other group of people face the same kind of treatment from cops it gets very little media attention. Why do you think that is?

    And you're saying I'm using this to bytch about black people? How many people try to use Mike Brown and Freddie Gray incident to further their own political agenda? Did you complain about them??? I'm going to say no.

    I think it's important to note that this incident also isn't worth media attention, so it's not like you are saying that it's being ignored when it shouldn't be, merely that if this incident that should be ignored wouldn't be ignored if it were a black kid.

    Until more comes out, this is just a story of a kid that tried to run down a cop in his car and got shot for it.

    You don't think racial profiling and racial bias exist?

    I'm sure it does, but nowhere near as much as it is claimed to happen. Pretty much any time a black person breaks the law and is arrested by a non-black officer they claim it was racial profiling or racial bias. At some point, there are so many making false claims that you just can't take it seriously anymore.

    Because too many folks like yourself just drop draws and bend over and take it... And you're so distracted by black folks that you pay no attention that the thread title states "Police State" and not once have you made a comment about tax dollars being used on a police sting to bust a kid for a few joints and or commented about how the family's attorney says their autopsy report does not match the police's autopsy report and the corner isn't saying shyt (like they're trying to cover something up).

    So yea... You're just using this situation for an excuse to bytch about black people. And it's those same black people you bytch about who are the ones who are concerned about the death of this young man while you just bytcy about no media attention. If not for black folks you probably wouldn't know about this situation.

    The "Blacklivesmatter" movement has certainly increased scrutiny of the LE community nation wide. You personally can believe it to be warranted or not, but there has been increased scrutiny of LE in the past year as a result of the movement.

    LEO on body camera would have unequivocally shown everyone what the kid and his car actually did.

    Link?

    Because white cops don't have a negative racial bias against white people? I don't understand how this key fact seems to elude you again and again and again. It's like you choose to willfully ignore facts because they're inconvenient to your whole racial oppression of white people thing.
