You seem to be having a hard time understanding this. It's almost like you have been brainwashed by false statistics and data by the media or something? The issue is that black people being killed by white citizens or white people isn't being diminished. It gets more coverage than anything. It gets huge coverage. What is actually being diminished is:
black people being killed by black people
white people being killed by black people
white people being killed by police
The division is being done by the media and SJW's that either don't know or don't report the true statistics and data that is happening in America. The narrative that black people are being hunted down and killed by either police or white people is false. It's fake news when the reverse is far more likely to happen (and does).
You seem to be having a hard time understanding this. You're the one bringing the media into it. I was talking about posters here starting threads trying to diminish the latest death of a black man by a white police officer.
According to the Associated Press, there were 18 different news media crews on scene near the riots this morning. EIGHTEEN different reporters.
only ONE of them was arrested. And gues what? It was the black guy that got arrested.
No matter if this was just a misunderstanding or not, the sheer optics are HORRIFIC. He was literally live on air as they cuffed him, holding up his press credentials badge for the police officers to see.
This guy is definitely going to be convicted, his only hope is to try to get some kind of deal worked out....but I'm not sure one would even be offered. They have a mandatory minimum for murder in the first degree, and the absolute best he could hope for would be murder in the second degree.....and that would be an absolute gift because they have a slam dunk murder in the first case.
white people also lead the way in police murders. Overwhemingly. Perhaps you should address the anti-authority culture amongst your fellow whites. Stop killing police and maybe they'll stop killing you guys.
This simply is not true and is an example of what I was talking about.

This guy is looking at life without parole IMO.
They charged him with 3rd degree murder(basically murder without intent) and manslaughter.

That's absolute nonsense then. When you keep your knee on someone's neck for more than 2 minutes after they go limp, you are intending on killing them and IMO that counts as premeditation as well. They need to up those charges immediately, keep the lesser charges on the books to fall back on, but the higher charges have to be there as well.

Nobody can diminish what is on my tv right now and has been for days now. When a black person is killed by any white person be they citizen or police officer it gets constant coverage on the news and social media. When a white person is killed by a black person or police officer it is nothing but a footnote. Same for when a black person kills another black person. It's not treated as news. It's absurd and more and more people are realizing this. Posters on an internet site don't have the control nor does anything they post carry the weight that the national media and social media platforms. White people being killed by police or black people is suppressed and hidden from public view more often than not. The same can't be said about when a black person is killed by a white person or white police officer. This is systematic oppression by the media to fulfill a false and untrue narrative and it is destructive and dangerous. It must stop now. Because of recent incidents more and more people are waking up to what the true facts and statistics tell us and it isn't what CNN tells us or some SJW on twitter.
This simply is not true and is an example of what I was talking about.
it actually is very much true. white people, specifically white men kill police the most. there is definitely an anti-police culture present amongst white men.

There must be info in the autopsy that is not supporting a death that can be totally proven by the knee on the neck. If they overcharge this guy has a chance to walk by a jury. My opinion is he should be charged with 2nd degree murder which is what the own police video shows and carries a much harsher penalty than 3rd degree. He also should have been arrested immediately not a few days later. Lets hope the justice system works.

If he gets off with only 3rd degree murder, the justice system failed.
