Perhaps if cops really care about the lives of other cops, they would do their jobs better so that nuts like the gunman in this case don't have perceived injustices to fight against.

I wholeheartedly believe, based on facts and evidence, that the black community is unfairly targeted by police forces across the country. I wholeheartedly believe, based on facts and evidence, that the black community is unfairly jailed at a much higher rate than people of other ethnicities.

I stand with my black brothers and sisters.
And in this case, I stand with you, and I'm White also.

The truth is, although we might biologically be African(black), culturally we are European(white). What white society exposed for us to emulate, since CULTURE IS LEARNED, is denigration and abuse. Now its on autopilot in our communities. White society created the momentum for this....not black society. However, according to Newton, any object moved by a force will continue in the same direction until and unless acted upon by an equal and opposite force.
Interesting perspective. Gotta think on it a bit.

Why does resisting arrest necessarily mean an automatic death sentence?

The man in Minnesota was not a trouble maker. Explain that away.

I've also heard some whites respond with "White people get killed by the police too".

So my question is to the "whites"-Do you even care if whites get killed too? I know you don't care if blacks do and I'm okay with that disposition. Do you care if your own race gets killed? If so what do whites do to prevent it from happening because there is nothing at this point that blacks can do. If you care so much why are you so silent on the issue? Why are you so apathetic?

Please help me to understand. Do you even care?


Here is a story---
I can remember having been a hiring manager at a Hospital with 3,200 employees. There were only 3 of us black managers in the whole darn place. I decided to do something about it. I went on an aggreesive hiring of black managers. Why? 1-We needed more managers 2- we needed managers of color. 3-the Senior Level(white folks) staff supported my efforts.

The point:
I was in a position to make change happen and I DID. It's the highlight of my life.

Since whites are the dominant controlling class, why not use that position to make changes for the better?
While asking if others care about the imaginary line between races that creates these "groups", are you aware that your post is rampant with elements of prejudicial behavior?
