Georgia executes Vietnam veteran who killed a sheriff s deputy - CNN.com
If this guy had been Black the cop would have never been killed.
Did you catch the guy putting his hands in his pockets, lunging at the cop ,and then running back to his car to get the weapon? I was amazed at the cops restraint.

What the fuck is wrong with you?Oh man.
Those screams at 2:16 and 2:41
You have no idea how good that made me feel. It just gave me this beautiful warm feeling inside.
I wouldnt call it wild. More like informed speculation.Did you catch the guy putting his hands in his pockets, lunging at the cop ,and then running back to his car to get the weapon? I was amazed at the cops restraint.
The cop obviously handled that poorly. He seemed frightened. You assuming he would have handled it any different if the perp was black is merely wild speculation on your part.

it was 1998. I've seen cops shoot Black people long before that for simply moving too fast.Did you catch the guy putting his hands in his pockets, lunging at the cop ,and then running back to his car to get the weapon? I was amazed at the cops restraint.
Yes, I noticed. But we don't know the entire back story.
If you are saying that had the perp been black, the cop would have simply shot him immediately, that is really hard to say. Please note the YEAR that that happened.
I know he showed restraint he most likely would not have with a Black person. I was incredulous at the number of times he would have been shot if he was Black and got away with it.I wouldnt call it wild.

Yeah? What do you know about that particular officer?

1. hands in the pocket
2. dancing around
3. lunging at the officer
4. running away back towards the car.
I probably missed some but those are what stood out. Compare that to this.

If you don't know anything about this cop why do you assume he would have treated a black suspect differently? Do you believe all police officers are racist?

Because I have seen it happen time and time again. I know all white cops are not racist however too many of them are.
“Simply put, white cops are afraid of black men. We don’t talk about it, we pretend it doesn’t exist, we claim “color blindness,” we say white officers treat black men the same way they treat white men. But that’s a lie. In fact, the bigger, the darker the black man the greater the fear. The African-American community knows this. Hell, most whites know it. Yet, even though it’s a central, if not the defining ingredient in the makeup of police racism, white cops won’t admit it to themselves, or to others.”

There maybe something to the idea that white cops fear black men more than whites, after all cops are only human beings, and blacks, judging by statistics, have a greater propensity towards violence. I still don't believe that translates into cops are more quick to shoot blacks. I thinks it means cops are more cautious when dealing with blacks. My problem, however, is we can't just apply all these generalizations to these individual cases and act like there's no problem with that. In the case you posted that particular cop might have acted in the exact same manner had he been threatened by a black suspect, we don't know, so to speculate is unfair and frankly unproductive.
As much as I can see that there are race problems pretty much all over the world, I cannot imagine every case being about race. There are often many other factors.it was 1998.

Blacks are not more prone to violence. White people are. Your theory doesnt make sense.
