cops kill both blacks and whites blacks they are more likely to shoot to death,,,,than they are to beat to death,,, Omg. Now I've heard everything. ask treyvons parents... its a side effect of the stereotype of the dangerous black male, many americans, Including black people themselves AND cops, feel a higher threat from a black male than other males, so they are less likely to risk hand to hand, when they can just as easily shoot them,,, it is also a demographic reality that non minorities see police more often as there to serve and protect rathern than to harm and obstruct and they are more likely to excuse police actions as necessary and warranted,,, so its harder to beat a black man without a response from an already suspicious black community,, but shooting him leaves no other version of the story but the cop who will usually be given the credit for their honesty and integrity (ESPECIALLY IF ANY type of offense can be found on that black person) its a sad reality of our culture, and a result of years and years of cultural stereotypes and systemic racism ,,,but I am once again pointing to the elephant in the room that IM sure noone else wants to see,,, sorry ANY person that is killed unnecessarily is a tragedy, whomever their killer is and whatever race they belong to i think it is more of trying to play the race card in a room where everyone has heard it too many times...

Now watch, not a single white person will riot over this. the victim`s father went to great lengths to see that this was brought to public attention. the least white ppl (and anyone else) can do is riot if justice isn`t served. given the video/audio evidence,,,,there`s going to be trouble.

Now watch, not a single white person will riot over this. i`m for equal rights! we all have to riot when wrongs are done to: women, asians, caucasians, inuits, native americans, etc etc etc add any group here .....that way, the gestapo will have to be more careful

if we did that, we would never get any 'work' done,, paying bills, being productive, contributing, taking care of homes or families there are too many injustices to riot at each event,,,

Thank God he was white. they usually just shoot the black ones,, but dead is dead,, You might be surprised. Will Grigg has documented dozens of murders by cops of people of all races. I've seen blacks beaten, shot, tazered, and burned beyond recognition. I am strongly against government police and would abolish them today if I could. Here's a lecture by a law professor which explains why no one should talk to a cop. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wXkI4t7nuc

I see it more like medicine. WE do need doctors and caretakers , but that doesnt mean that any one doctor should be trying to treat every ill or diseased person at all times to the exclusion of any other activity and it doesnt mean EVERYONES role should be as a doctor we have enough of the doctors and caretakers to go around collectively for any of them to feel solely responsible for EVERY situation at every moment I believe the same is true of 'activists',,,,

so that`s why the spotlight on 'nobodies' is so sought after. and so hard-won. but, if common-ppl made more of a ruckus, then law-makers might take heed. they are here to serve US, not the other way around

professional activists are real people todays world is about networking, networking is power and money is power and networking with those who have money is ultimate power many of those 'professional' activists have worked themself into such networks and good or bad, their involvement is more likely to be newsworthy and catch the attention of (and make a 'real threat' to) people who can actually do something about it,,,

I think people with their own agendas are unavoidable in ANY profession I Think good people with good intentions are just as unavoidable,,,

most cops start out wanting to help people after time they begin to hate people they see how everything is corrupt and end up collecting money for the government through tickets and fines and dont trust anybody but other cops at the end they hate the public its a form of brainwashing
