Really? Prove it. Whites are far less likely to die in the USA than Blacks are. And on the occasion that Black on Black murder occurs, which happens far more than Black on White murder, the chances of the death penalty are not very high. More Black men are murdered than any other demographic in this nation. However, 3/4 of all persons in America who get the death penalty murdered White people. Sounds like Black people's lives are the ones considered worthless when it comes to the consequences.
Correlation =/= Causation.
What sort of crimes become death penalty offenses? Usually, mass murdering, crimes involving rape AND murder, murder of children, and, murder of innocents.
Under what CIRCUMSTANCES did the white people die vs. the CIRCUMSTANCES that the black person died? Who were the victims... more than their race. Were they gangbangers and drug buyers? Or were they innocents? Were they men or women?
Does the source that provided YOU with the fact that "3/4 of all persons who get the death penalty have murdered white people?" bother to dig and try to find out? Or was that too HARD?
Until you can all you have is a causation/correlation fallacy where you assume an endpoint: Bias in the system --- and then find a simplistic reason for same to fit your own point of view and conclusion.
Interesting thread. Especially interesting considering I didn't see one mention of Dillon being a "thug" even though he had a felony on his criminal record according to one of the links posted in this thread . Regardless of that though, there is no reason for police to shoot unarmed people IMO.
Also wanted to highlight the craziness that has become anonymous internet of America....

Mike Brown remember refused the officer's request to walk on the side walk, and attacked and taunted the cop when he tried to get out of the car.
Bunch of sheep we are turning into in America. Remember our "founding fathers" rebelled against the authority of England and we glorify that in our history books but now-a-days we are supposed to bow down to rogue officers who think they are on some foreign or domestic battlefield.
I did. It's quite obvious that Utah hasn't had an incidence of rioting and looting such as occured at Ferguson.
No you really didn't. Maybe there's rarely any riots or looting because there isn't a pattern of police brutality, disenfranchisement, undervaluing, and oppression against the populace... Now that is a fact and not an opinion...
Well... if you do not have the resources of... ABC NBC CBS PBS CNN MSNBC and/or
numerous other PC/left wing newspapers it would be rather difficult... don't you think?

Interesting how my facts are opinion and your opinion is fact...

My opinion isn't the fact. The fact is the absence of a pattern. A pattern that would agitate a large percentage of the population. If I'm wrong and you believe their is a pattern please identify it!!!
Not at all. You should really read up about some of the programs they started.
Do you have any links of the KKK working with black people? Improving the community? Protecting ALL races?
But don't want to derail the thread.
It's non-issue because people aren't protesting. Wanna do something about it go out and protest. Stop whining about those who actually are doing something.
As I recall, the original Black Panthers worked by intimidation backed up by action, including participating in riots and race baiting. Same for the new version. Maybe YOU should look it up.
As for the rest of your post, can you say doubtful? Of course to you, Ferguson has no protests and no version of the Panthers are there, right?
The Utah cop will have a camera. . which is damn good idea.
But I would note one thing: Cops killing people isn't a race thing. I mean look at the young Man Sean . . ?! after his bachelor party. A black officer started the shooting. the Issue is badly trained cops. . who overuse force without consequence.
