Step outside your predetermined views. You essentially said, no matter how strong the evidence, this should be thrown out on the sheer fact the race card was played. That's a very dangerous view and yet you're baffled when you get called a racist.

I wasn't saying you weren't qualified to discuss this because of your NO ties, but rather your argument is moot because it's based on how supposedly dangerous old black men in NO could be.

Well, you were citing the fact New Orleans is quite dangerous as reason to assume the guy might have been armed weren't you? Well how is the current state of New Orleans relevant when we are discussing an incident that happened nowhere even remotely close to New Orleans.

other than the fact that it happened in homer and that the bullet was fired by a white man and the person that took the bullet was black and a senior, were there any other facts relevant that you wanted to discuss?

All I was doing was pointing out the face your New Orleans claim has zero relevance in this case. We are talking about an area that doesn't exactly have the best history regarding race. This occurred in a Parrish where someone who was running as a current member of the KKK won 80% of the white vote when he ran for Gov.

Would this be a story if it was a black cop and black man or a white man and white cop? Why does race have to enter every case? Just because a few say he wasn't armed doesn't mean it is true for starters. We don't really know what happened so I am not going to pass judgement on anyone. If there is evidence the cop had it in for blacks, that would be different; it there is solid proof the man was not armed, different, but we don't know any of this. How many of you were there to witness what happened?
