You do see the difference between how George Floyd was treated and how Dylan Roof was treated right? All of those white mass shooters, nobody touched their necks when they were apprehended...I'm not even advocating for that but clearly if you're not Black you get treated different by the police in most instances. Especially depending on what state you're in.
I watched his viewing on Channel 7 and people admitted on camera he had a checkered past. So save it.
I've driven down South plenty of times, whenever I have to get gas I make sure I do it in a rest stop or big town, I never stop in small Southern towns for fear of running into cross-burners or some crap, if you drive down South, I bet the thought never enters your mind!
Don't misconstrue what I said. I am not excusing what the cops did at all. In fact I think it's disgusting what they did. I also don't think The cop should get his pension and I just read online he is. BTW I don't drive south. You need to chill.

So then why did you make your post? I don't need to do anything. I disagree that he is being canonized. He was supposedly in a porn video too. We can bring up everything in his past - if he's a "bad person" as deemed by society, how does this change the conversation? You tell me. You're the one that made the post, so I'm looking for clarification on your post.

Unfortunately Dylan Roof did not resist and threw down his gun so he was taken into custody. Would have been better for all if he was able to be killed by the cops.
Don't discount a personal beef between Floyd and his killer. They worked with each other and at least 1 co worker said they had issues between them.

Columbine
Sandy Hook
no neck
Manson, Bundy, no neck
I've actually never heard the media report a white suspect in NYC killed by police
I'm not even sure its ever happened
And just to be clear I am not advocating for that
My question is why does it seem like the cops don't treat everybody equally sh---y?
And I say "the cops" very loosely, I know there are good and bad cops
Its sad that I feel I have to footnote my posts but otherwise ppl will find something to pick.

Media wouldn't care about a white suspect killed by the police. It doesn't get ratings. Many whites if they hear a career criminal was killed by the cops wouldn't care, they would be glad he was off the streets.

Why not, your opinion?
These are the conversations we need to have

Because white people are less likely to side with a meth head career criminal. Black people people tend to be more forgiving and thinking a person can change.
