Im sure the cops will say they saw the video and it showed nothing, but they wont let the video get out until everyone forgets about it.

These points are reality, my personal views are that police should be held accountable for egregious acts and should ALL be wearing bodycams at all times.

That being said, I'm a realist. Did you protest Laquan McDonnel? You even recognize the name?
That’s not true at all. Regardless of the race of the officer, this implicit bias happens more and more, and it’s getting black men—good black men with guns—killed.

For the record, I have never protested.

Thank you. Show us multiple examples of this same thing happening to white men on a regular basis and then I'll concede it's "not a racial issue".

I'd rep you so many times if I could! The race of the perp is not a factor. It's the race of the victim. People of color can be and often are the greatest protectors of white supremacy. Racism is the product of white supremacy...which is a SYSTEM.

Actually, it's not.

How many white mass shooters have been arrested and taken in without a scratch on them?

Black dude with a gun... Fire first and ask later. And these topics always expose you guys.
