This case is obviously in the MSM. I know facts might not matter when you're on a roll creating an intolerant false narrative... Once blacks start killing white folk and not getting charged or start being acquitted of murder, just maybe your point might start being valid...

Did the 2 black teens have a 2nd amendment right to be going around armed so they could shoot whoever they felt like shooting? Or should their robbery background have prevented that? If only the NRA wasn't rooting for them to be armed.

The real murderers are those who arranged our laws and customs such that teenagers with a robbery background could walk free to commit more crimes. And especially those who arranged for them to be easily armed. But those murderers will never pay for their crimes, because nobody really cares who gets shot, or how many bullets are in the air at any given moment.

But, so many times it is the elephant in the room that people want to talk about. But they don't, because then they are called a racist
If racism means talking about things people want to censor, be proud to be a racist. I'm a bleeding heart liberal, but I would be the last person on Earth to censor any kind of discussion between racists and non-racists.

Right. And what breed? What was the ethnic group of the man?

But yeah. That dog's color is the information that is missing here.

Many cops are thugs because of their actions. Cops should be held to a higher standard.

It's cute how you try to divert attention from the crime with this. Fact, 3 young criminals robbed an innocent man of his life but you and the croc want to make a joke out of it. smh

I think some cops are on a power trip. Others are put in a bad situation without the skills or experience to handle it properly. Just because a cop doesn't handle it the way that we, outsiders (who have time to sit and ponder about it and who aren't in fear of our lives), think that he/she should handle it doesn't mean that it's racially motivated.

How do we know that the Michael Brown situation wouldn't have been handled the exact same way if it were a white thug instead of a black thug? Cops -- and people in general -- are given a lot more leeway in situations that result in death if they did it in self-defense, even if there may have been another (non-lethal) way of handling the situation. This is true if the person is white, black, Hispanic, Asian...

On the other hand, if that guy had shot and killed those two teens in self defense, the MSM would go to defcon 2, every race huckster in the country would come out, and the African American community in general would have already tried, convicted and would be demanding jail time without hearing a single fact of the matter. It would go on for months.

The hypocrisy runs very very deep.
I couldn't agree with you more... sad isn't it? Mr. Sharpton and Jackson would have paid a visit to spew their hatred. Double standards are tending to be the 'norm'... when will it stop?

No, it isn't. No mention on CNN, MSNBC or Fox News.

CNN has spent COUNTLESS HOURS on the UVA student who got roughed up(and unfairly so), to the point of being ridiculous and of course making it racial, I mean it couldn't have just been about a drunk college kid and overzealous cops, had to make it racial.

But that's part of the plan.

Heard NOTHING about this incident other than on CD. This is now the 3rd or 4th incident like this and if some poster didn't find a local link to the story, you would never hear about it nationally.

Unlike incidents where the a black person is the victim.
