You specifically stated that he is a light skinned black man, when in fact, he's biracial and chooses to identify as biracial,
And you specifically ignored the fact that America treats men like him as black, wether he indentifies it or not. Doesn't matter if he speaks the king's Enlgish, doesn't matter if he wears nice clothes and doesn't sag his pants, doesn't matter if he has a pretty white wife. He's still subject to get his ass beat by the police like any common thug...err I mean black man.

Looks pretty white to me. I assumed he was at first.
If this was a black man everyone would be saying "good job" and "you took down a thug" and "why didn't you just kill him". Racism in AmeriKKKa is alive and well.

The outrage is over his race. Or did you miss that?
Yeah, if that was a black man, you would have wanted him shot dead. This is the reality we've had to live with since the Confederates lost segregation rights in the 1960s. Take it out on the black man!

You specifically stated that he is a light skinned black man, when in fact, he's biracial and chooses to identify as biracial, (since his father is black and his mom is white). Although the police were wrong for slamming him to the ground, let's not pretend that Blake was simply targeted out of the blue due to his racial composition. The suspect resembles Blake, (which explains why he was mistaken as the suspect).

He's tapping that? Bet the cop's "partner" isn't anywhere near as good-looking.

Maybe he resembles the suspect, maybe not. That was excessive force for a very minor crime. Blake was totally polite and the Charleston shooter was treated nicer than he was, and he killed people.

He is too "exotic" looking to be a basic "white" person, I am sure he gets interrogated often about his heritage. He doesn't look "standard white."
