However, their odds are greater to a staggering degree that another black person would kill them.

Nope. About even. Only a gang-banger or drug criminal is more likely to be killed by another thug. For the rest of us the chances of being killed by another black person are as vanishingly low as for white people being killed at random. But whites do not have a statistically significant chance of being killed by LEO even if they are involved in criminal activities. Blacks do.

The police report said they did CPR. I don't see that in the video.

I'm glad the cop is charged with murder, they need to teach them to shoot not to kill or to let them go like they do when they allow people during a car chase to go so they won't kill innocent people.
Baloney. You run from the police, you get just what you deserve.

So now they're shooting unarmed men in the back? How cowardly is that. I hope they put him in jail and send him to the cell block with all the blacks.

You believe that an unarmed man should be shot in the back? That's the ultimate in cowardice.

I don't think you will find a person who would disagree with you on this. People always are entitled to this.

Nothing odd about it at all. Every single witness in Ferguson that condemned that cop turned out to be lying. Either the witness recanted their story, admitted they lied, found to not have even been there, or were crossed examined and found to be liars when by the grand jury. This was later validated by the DOJ which went over every bit of that material.

Credibility is earned, not demanded. People react to what they see, not what you want them to see.

Furthermore as long as you keep framing everything as whites vs blacks, this is all that you will ever see.

No one, and this is important, no one who is not attempting to harm or kill said police officer deserves to be killed for running AWAY.
