Cuffed and pinned to the ground. Knee to the upper back for 14 minutes. Mocked by police.
And yet...no national outrage. No rioting. No looting. Media didn't seem to care. Why? Because he was white. One of an estimated 400 white people killed by police in 2019 (exact numbers are hard to come by as most just list shooting deaths by police which were 370)
The media is making a fool out of a lot of people in this country with their selective outrage.
Yep. The similarity between the two cases is striking; yet no one gave a damn about this white criminal. Either DGAF about all criminals who get hurt while doing criminal acts or get upset about them all. Be consistent and fair.
I personally DGAF about any criminals irrespective of race or gender just sayin.
The defense attorney for Chauvin could cite this precedent to help his defense I guess?

If YOU don't care about it, why should we? You're okay being beaten and abused, so sit there and take it. Black people aren't. Don't get mad at us b/c we have the balls to stand up for our lives instead of cowering in the corner.
Tony timpa and danial shaver are examples of whites being murdered by cops. But no outrage.
Who do you expect to be outraged about it?
If you are outraged, then do something about it as opposed to complaining about others not doing something you won't do yourself.
If the white community in Dallas had protested in the streets, it would have made the news, but they didn't do it. They seem to simply accept such incidents as a fact of life.

Patrica Cook is the most egregious. Sunday school teacher shot while in her car in a church parking lot. The witness refuted the cops testimony that his arm was caught in the rolled up window.
Correction. Only black lives matter IF they were killed by a white man. Evidently they do not matter if they are killed by someone of color, because the media never goes crazy over that. If the media truly cared and wanted to help, they would CONSTANTLY be highlighting they hourly killings of blacks by other blacks in these horrid cities.

Black people killing other black people in extremely disproportionate numbers says otherwise. You don't care unless someone other than a black person does the killing. Same with the media. If what you are saying was the case there would be rioting and looting going on in Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, and Los Angeles every week. You don't care unless the other person isn't black. Then you care.
