Hand up don't shoot...round two. (racism, community, work, races)

I wish that the owner of the video would have let this play out and see how police officers would explain it....then in a few weeks come out with the video like "BAM".

The African American community is right. These cops are out for blood.

Bad police work isn't racism. Neither is good police work for that matter. And we've been hearing that its not only cops that are out for blood. Just about everybody is according to what people are saying.

Bad police work is not racist in intent....but it can be in effect if the focus of the police work is disproportionately racial. That would mean that bad police work disproportionately impacts certain races....as well as good police work....but you likely do not hear about the later in the media.

I generally think that the police protocol to shoot to kill needs to be reviewed....regardless of race. I think it impacts all races, but disproportionately blacks. Hence, I think its valid that blacks are protesting on behalf of blacks. If other races don't stand up against it.....that is not the fault of blacks if their lives don't matter.
