Not really, cops shoot black kids just as readily as they shoot black men.

Remember Tamir Rice? 12 year old with a toy gun. Police shot him within 2 seconds of arriving on scene.

You think there's only been one shooting of a black kid by police? Oh Boy.

Criminal pulls out a gun next to their kids.

Cops say: Can’t shoot at him because his kids are there!

Great standard that’s being set!

Unarmed black people shot in the street.

Peaceful protestors cleared away with tear gas and more police brutality.


But if you’re white you can arm yourself and push past state troopers to get into a government building:

imagine a scenario where someone (race doesn't matter) that during a traffic stop with children in the vehicle pulled a gun on police. the children being there wouldn't matter, should not make the police refuse to react because wouldn't want the children to see their parent shot.

Astounding logic.

what is in Blake's hand here in this picture?

he also had a warrant.




did Blake also say he was going to his car to get a gun?


were the police here aware of his history?

this is why details are important, and people shouldn't be quick to judge either way.

this doesn't mean the shooting was justified, but there are important details that need to be known.

Cool. Keep playing devils advocate as a means to justify a cop shooting an unarmed black man in the back, Special.

It's downright hilarious (well....in a sick, sad way at least) when you put it this way.

but, I know...the absurdity was intentional

This dude already had shot somebody, was chased and then he shot a couple more people. He killed 2 of them.

Police then claimed he was there protecting businesses.

Yeah shoot a black man who is unarmed in the back, let a 17 year old with an AR 15 run around shooting people.

Amerika.
