Of course, you would feel the need to insert your racist horeshiz here.
Obviously you did not follow the link...its opinion in regards to the shooting and other violence....but from African American perspectives. That would not interest you...of course....but white opinion interest me.
yawn, The Grio has already done several features about this story that have been highlighted on MSNBC's front page and so has likely been read by people of multiple races.

I think most of the people on this forum watch FOX NEWS...not MSNBC. Besides, the majority of people who participate on MSNBC website, I assume, are whites. Thus, if they have a forum the comments you hear are mostly from whites. What I am talking about is what do average black folks think.....not one black person who writes an op-ed piece. For example:
Sounds like a state of emergency to me. If that child was WHITE?!! C'mon....you know they would have had the NATIONAL GUARDS out there....in a NYC minute...but! It's just mainly "us" being killed.

Yeah, I'm getting more and more unimpressed with Holder AND Obama. The two men in this country that hold the power to make badly needed changes in this country, especially when it comes to American justice, yet, they do nothing, say nothing, even in the wake of a small child being killed. It is now just more of the same that tells us that Black life is expendable and worthless in this country. These officers are going to get off with a slap on the wrist, if that, and the police with continue to move on Black people in America as if we are all under marshall law in our own nation; they will continue to approach Black people, Black communities, Black youth, Black children, Black women with complete disregard and complete indifference for our lives and the lives of our children--which is how this shooting occurred in the first place---they probably did not know that a small child was sleeping on the couch, but they probably did not care even if there were and would have approached the situation the exact same way either way. This is obviously something they are used to doing when it comes to us anyway, it's just that in other cases most of the people were lucky to not be shot and killed (and I'm sure that when they told their story of how things really went down, they were not believed and were probably threatened with prosecution or further prosecution if they continued to talk about it or attempted to sue. Yeah, America is still a dangerous
If the cops story fits what's on the tape, and is supported by witnesses, guess what, a slap on the wrist is what he deserves.
The question comes down to.
Did someone issue a search warrant on the wrong address?
Was the property illegally a multi-family residence, and only had ONE address?
Was the warrant issued on xxxx-unit b and served on xxxx-unit a?
Who was at fault for harboring the fugitive?
Did the cop shoot into an open doorway?
Did someone wrestle with an officer who didn't know better than to take his finger out of the trigger guard?
I agree but its still a double standard. A civilian in a self defense situation would have been scrutinized to the nth degree and it would have cost him a fortune to defend himself in court.

ever think people would take you more seriously if you didn't make so many stupid ASSumptions?? so you ASSume everyone on this forum watch Fox more than MSNBC, you ASSume the majority of people on MSNBC forums are white (BTW, who is talking about forums? The Grio is not a forum, it's a black focused news site w/ multiple articles, op-eds, and features written by and for blacks), and so on. your racist attitudes towards whites cloud your vision and have led you to make grand assumption about an entire race, no different from racist whites assuming all blacks are ghetto, criminal trash

More people watch FOX news than MSNBC based upon the ratings. FOX gets WAY more viewers. I did not assume EVERYONE Watched FOX on this forum. Why would not a MAINSTREAM media source not reflect the MAINSTREAM? If 70% of the population is white...why would not the majority of the viewers of a MAINSTREAM media outlet not be majority white also?
Al Sharpton managed to show up right on time to deliver the final speech at the girls funeral.
This little gem set a new record for irony...."And rather turn to each other, we name-call and ego-tripping and trying to jump in front of a camera..." -Al Sharpton
Still no official word on the the unfortunate individual that accidentally shot the poor girl. What a terrible event.
I wonder if the ambush ealier that month that killed a cop had them a bit fidgety especially when dealing with an armed murderer.
At least I can agree with Sharptons comment about the community needing to share the resonsibility, even if he is a camera hog.

any proof the cop was white? care to link to your source of info? any reason why the race of the cop matters in this particular case at all, unless you're trying to insinuate this was a race motivated crime?
