Yeah? What do you know about that particular officer?
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.
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.”
