7 billion people minus one vandal. Not “justice” but no sleep lost either.

Must not be very hard because the vast majority of US citizens of all races seem to be able to live law abiding lives.
Act like a thug and meet the fate of a thug.

Let’s face it, these police shooting don’t happen in other countries because guns are not as common as people over there.

The police in the U.S are at a disadvantage here. Any suspect can be armed and ready to shoot. That creates intense paranoia and fear, which results in racial profiling and stereotypes.

Is society better with or without you in it? After all, you're probably not curing cancer either.

How does knowing that everyone might be carrying a gun lead to stereotyping and race perceptions?

The thug liked manicures and pedicures and was a stay at home dad. Maybe had he stayed at home after WORKING and not been breaking into his neighbors cars he wouldn't have run into two trigger happy cops.

Had nothing to do with race and everything to do with a fugitive fleeing to a dark yard and pulling something out of his pocket.

Black or white, same result
