Blacks were quick to help police with the whole John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo fiasco. The difference was that these lunatics weren't wreaking havoc in impoverished, crime-ridden neighborhoods. They were striking any and everyone. Everyone was up in arms about it, including blacks, to catch these black men.
John Muhammad was executed. Lee Malvo is in prison.
Stop snitching is a big part of the black community thou, and I agree I wouldn't help police either with anything. I don't trust police.
Very true, like all those witnesses that came forward after John Gotti had his neighbor executed in the middle of the street. Oh wait..
Lot of whites believe in no snitching as well, lot of whites don't trust police as well.. trust in police is at an all time low but looting is not big in the dura white areas.
Truly, are there no depths to which some people won't sink?
This is terrible! From the background, it appears to be a Catholic church. Maybe, maybe not but they don't look like they would be the type of Blacks to attend the church. I wonder if they just wandered in? Even before they committed the crime, had I seem them walk in I would have kept an eye on them because they look out of place and usually when that is the case they are there for a no good purpose -- looking around to find an easy prey or unsuspecting person to do something to. It's good to go with your gut instinct. They're the type to get irate when asked "can I help you" as in what do you need here because the person can tell they look out of place and don't appear to have an real reason to be there. They hate when people are already on to them (it foils their plans) and will act up by respond loudly some accusation about being treated in a discriminatory way. Its horrible. I hope they're caught and justice is exacted on their heartless souls. Thank God this elderly woman wasn't killed.

What you just described is called 'profiling', perhaps even 'racial profiling'. It's what law enforcement get accused of on a daily basis. I don't think it's right as a public policy, and not necessarily justified in the case of an individual citizen doing it. But right or wrong, it's a natural reaction some people in certain cases are going to have. It is what it is, and not much we can do about it.
I'm laughing at the non-Blacks who speak for me and the rest of the "Black community". It's the same rhetoric everytime.
I'd like to address the "Black community" concept. From where I sit, seems to me when a black person does beat the odds, gets educated and secures a well paying job, what does that person do? Flee to the safe white suburbs, that's what. Before you even start, I'm not preaching segregation. Just asking why the ones who could lead by example pack up and run? What a better way to show the next generation there is a chance to break the cycle of poverty and build solid family values. We are getting this black lives matter shoved down our throats, but the ones who should be first to lead are in fact the first to run.

Successful people don't want to live near ghetto people thats why. You can buy a huge mansion in the white burbs, why not. Nobody wants to live near rachet people.
When you see a bear start walking towards you in the woods.. or a lion in a jungle..... should you or should you not be on guard or be afraid?
Why or why not? That bear or lion has never hurt you before?
Love to hear the answers from the #BLM crowd
Of course, I probably would be afraid, as would most normally intelligent people. The post I responded to was suggesting that 'black people walking into a Catholic church' wouldn't look like 'the type of blacks to attend the church'. There would have to be other signals involved for me to think that black people walking into a catholic church would automatically be up to no good. Signals other than the color of their skin, that is. We all 'profile' to a certain degree in daily life, but unfortunately some want to carry it to an extreme.
