Black lives are the only ones that matter to the media and the President.

It is so sad that many black people continue to see themselves as victims. Obama really dropped the (wrecking) ball on his people. He should have used himself as an example that if you study and work hard to be smart you can rise to high places but no he has only served to lead by poor example and not point out that the individual needs to take responsibility for their actions.

It is not racist cops hunting with the hopes of bagging a black punk it is the punk that is putting himself into harms way and a street culture that celebrates the criminal thug lifestyle.


You are so right that it doesn't fit the narrative.


It is tragic when anyone is shot by the Police but we cannot put the full blame on the Police when a guy is pushing them to a higher level of fear and the cop can do nothing else but pull that trigger.
It all seems so basic, Cop tells you to stop you stop and live to fight another day.

The prevailing narrative as one man describes it:

Black people are relentless victims of relentless white racism all the time, everywhere, that explains everything. Especially why cops are always picking on black people for no reason what so ever.

Does the mainstream media suck? Of course, that has been noted for a very long time. To say that there was not a single word in the mainstream media is doing the same thing though.

State police: Deputies fatally shoot man in West Tennessee | Fox News

It's truly sad that in the Joshua Scott shooting the police thought they needed to bring in military vehicles to address a mentally ill individual. At least it wasn't a case of approach........blam, blam, blam.

Well... black lives that are ended by the police are cared about, and more so if they have criminal histories.

It's ironic that Obama's election was supposed to bring in this new age of racial healing, but instead all he has done is rip race relations apart.
