As a white person I feel outrage at the shootings of Mike Brown, and Tamir Rice, and the killing of Eric Garner. Yes, I am concerned about police brutality and excessive use of force, especially deadly force, by police. I believe any moral person would find these killings unjustified and reprehensible---and just plain sickening.

I find it odd that the pigment of your skin has an impact on your feeling towards dead people.
Would you be just as outraged if the victim was asian, indian, pacific islander, white, green or blue or zebra striped?

No; well at least not in the case of Mike Brown. That is what the jury found. In the case of Tamir Rice and of Mike Brown it was the public that started the ball rolling and their own actions that lead to their deaths. One call went out that a store was robbed and in the other case it was reported that a shooter was at a mall - what do you expect our police to do? What if the shooter wasn't a 12 year old and did have a real gun? How about if it was your family at the mall or your relatives that just got robbed?
What do you want the police to do; nothing? That could be the outcome of all of these protest. Why should any policeman put their life or job on the line and be looked on as the criminal? I can easily picture both fire and police sitting back and not responding as the whole neighborhood goes up in flames. Don't forget that the vast majority of Blacks shot are shot by other Blacks like (possibly) Deandre Joshua - you don't see his face all over CNN.
I think the most despicable thing is our President inviting Al Sharpton with his $4.5 million tax bill; while turning his back to our police. You don't see our politicians risking their necks to break up a domestic dispute or arrest armed criminals.
The Eric Garner case sounds like it could have been police brutality - but it was nothing compared to the violence at the riots and aftermath of Ferguson. I also did not hear what the grand jury heard. If people are going to riot, loot and burn; they make a good case for police brutality.

Simply put - lemming.
Stop buying into the fake rage from the doctored media narrative.
Don't resist
Don't attack cops
Don't rob
Simple advice....
Don't get shot...
