Indeed, two black cops (one male and one female) shoot an unarmed white guy for some goofy subway violation, and virtually no one heard about it. Keep in mind that she shot him at point black range the first time, and then in the back as he was trying to get away.
Does anyone think we might have heard about it if it was two white cops shooting an unarmed black man?
Would there be a twitter #justice for Ariel Roman?
Would the cops still be on the force without being charged with a crime?
Would riots have ensued, egged on by the media and Maxine Waters?
Blacks are overrepresented in the prison system. Do you know what "over-represented" means? The vast majority of wrongful convictions are black men.
And again, show me how blacks are getting away with anything, since you claim blacks aren't held accountable. That's was the point of contention. What murders are black not held accountable for? Because we can go all day about the Darren Wilsons and Affluenza kids of the world who are not held accountable for murders.

Are 1% of convictions wrongful, and 90% of those are Black people? OK, that's an easy fix.
Blacks not getting away with anything? Have you ever looked at unsolved homicide stats to see where it's never solved, and what the race of the victim is, and the likely perp, and how the neighborhood clams up? There was one of these - a mass shooting at least, I can't recall whether anyone perished - just ~ 10 days ago.
Darren Wilson - I had to google it, he's the officer in Michael Brown case - there were some clearly provided facts as to why he wasn't ever charged with anything.
Who knows who Affluenza is referring to. It surely doesn't refer to any white person intentionally killing Black people.
You make some good points, with the poster your replied to looking to obfuscate unpleasant truths.
It also never fails to amaze me how locked in people can get, into a false narrative like the whole "hands up, don't shoot" rubbish of the so called "gentile giant".
Poor officer Darren Wilson was just doing his job, was attacked, defended himself, and instead of getting a pat on the back, his life is turned upside down, career ruined, and fools are still running around believing he should have been prosecuted.
As to the Affluenza comment, it is not related to any race related crime. Instead it was a case of a dope smoking and drunk driver punk who killed and injured a bunch of people in an auto wreck. The lawyer thought up some wacko defense saying the kid had been raised in such an affluent way, he didn't feel there were any consequences to his actions (or some such rubbish). Trouble is that either the judge or jury (cannot recall) bought it, and the guy didn't serve time.
That is until the dope head failed a probation drug test, and I think he and his mother fled to Mexico.
So yes the guy was raised wrong, but it didn't mean he should have gotten a slap on his wrist for killing 4 or so people, and ruining the lives of the ones who lived (I think one is paralyzed for life).
But again, it is not a race related cop vs. suspect situation.
This is worthless. You need to prove that no black man has ever done the same thing and wound up alive and unharmed.
I can prove that Philando Castille properly informed a cop that he was legally in possession of a fireman, went to reach for the documentation to prove it and was killed on the spot. WITHOUT "MOUTHING OFF".

Show some actual concern and speak out against the high rate of single parenthood. Or you can keep falsely playing the race card over something that is statistically insignificant and continue to look the other way as black males abandon their children.
