About the pictures of blacks/whites killed/apprehended: Were they resisting arrest? Were they threatening the officer? It's dumb to just post their picture and whether they were arrested or killed. MB would have been arrested, not shot, if he had cooperated with the officer instead of going for his gun and charging him.
Definitely not betting against you on that. Protesters would not be swayed by facts. How many of the outsiders there now really care about facts or the actual kid who was killed??
I don't even think his friend Dorian Johnson gives a crap that he was killed.

Well, I don't think Dorian wanted to get involved with the officer knowing there was a warrant out for his arrest from a prior incident.

My post wasn't in reference to Dorian Johnson. It was in reference to a post where someone posted pictures of black and white people who had been either arrested or killed, implying the police always kill black suspects and arrest white ones.

Again, these "low information" people cannot seem to fathom complete data, nor include a balanced view...it's all "LOL" and snippets of inciting, incomplete posts.
Here's an interesting link about the "memory of a witness", posted by a lawyer and counselor.
Again, medically and physiologically speaking, this is a process that goes on in the body and mind...especially when one experiences or witnesses a trauma. It can play tricks on the mind and body. (Again, this was, in part, what I was trying to explain about the Officer's state of mind and his body's reaction to trauma...).
So, so-called "eyewitness testimony" alone is VERY unreliable!!!
...I think Obama has been fairly open with regards to discussing race. But obviously he needs to tread carefully.
Years back Jesse Jackson said something along the lines of when he's walking down a street at night in Chicago and turns to see it's a White man coming up from behind him he feels relieved
You've got an AA subculture which is all but out of control in many major urban cities. I grew up in San Francisco and I doubt there is any other city in the US which has done more for education/programs to improve opportunities within the local AA community and after 40 years it's still pretty much a mess.
Above are the issues a frank discussion on race Obama could have brought to the table at some point during his administration.
White racist media? You're joking, right? The media bends over backwards to portray people like MB as poor innocent black kids mistreated by the police. They show one side of the story. I think that is why so many people who feel the officer has been ignored are happy to see there is a place that he is being supported.
It certainly does seem like Yahoo, CNN and MSNBC are doing all they can to portray MB in a sympathetic/positive light.

witness testimony often unreliable
