Here's a video (recorded by a bodycam) of a white police officer shooting and killing a white person.

WARNING GRAPHIC

Since when does voicing your concern over one issue mean that you're ignoring another? I'll wait.

There's no shortage of people in this forum making the same, tired red herring argument, and neither one of you make a lick of sense. This recent string of events is about blacks being mistreated by THE LAW. Are we not supposed to hold law enforcement to a higher standard than the common citizen?

And when those accusations are proved to be lies, he doubles down, and never apologizes or comes to the defense of the white person.

So I can assume, based on what I've seen over many years of seeing Sharpton, that he only cares about black lives.

I'm sure it does happen but it doesnt sell papers like 'white cop kills unarmed black teen'
its all about what stories makes the most from ad revenue.
