Then I suppose it depends on where the officer aimed.

Imagine that someone could be cut into two halfs, the latino side, and the non-hispanic white side.

People are not divided up in segments like zebra skin.

Just shoot the black parts.

Hilarious.

If anything this should be a wake up call that this is not a race issue. It's a Police issue.



Not judging this particular scenario but judging by how many are killed by Police and our corruption issues.



OP. You might be surprised. You go out and start protesting and you'll probably have some black people right by your side. And there were many white protesters at the Ferguson protests.

More drones could be the answer. They could engage the criminal and keep the police safe. We can stamp due process on the munitions then eat popcorn and watch the video. A modern day Roman Circus like event playing out on nightly news.

Now if you want to make money on it, and we are a capitalist society, some form of betting should evolve. I got ten on white anybody down on black ?

Personally, I was outrage a white cop threatened, beat and killed a homeless man. I do not want thugs and criminals wearing uniforms, I could care less what color they are.

I don't think there are any non-white people in Utah...

There's no reason to assume there was any racial motivation in the shooting. There wasn't any in Ferguson, either.

Well, you are half right. Move to Utah and take a look around before parroting the racial bias of others.

Plus when Mormons get mad they don't generally start looting and trashing their hometowns.
