I don’t get the black vs white rhetoric. Yeah it was a white cop killing a black guy but there was an Asian cop standing right beside him yelling “this is what happens when you do drugs”.
My point is it’s not a white vs black issue. It’s some cops doing what they have been doing for years and using excessive force. But now everybody has a smart phone and it’s all on video for the world to see. Excessive force is the real issue and it’s getting lost in all the racial tones.
Just to be clear I think the cop that killed him should be charged with capital or 1st degree murder not manslaughter/ 3rd degree murder and all the officers that was on the scene should to be charged with accessory to 1st degree murder
Just FYI cops are no more likely to use deadly force on blacks than whites. You don't have to listen to me on this there have been several studies and here is a black guy on the subject last year.
