I caught wind of this story when it first happened and I knew it would get no media coverage. Right now the media is in the business of black outrage. This story doesn’t fit the current narrative. There’s a double standard there for sure. Everything about this story would’ve been reported if the victim were black and the officer white. The victim was a probation violator whom had a warrant out for his arrest. He’d committed a robbery and threatened to kill an eye witness. It’s said that the reason he didn’t comply with the officer’s orders is because he had earbuds in and couldn’t hear the officer’s commands. Were the races reversed we’d have this story on the front page of every paper and news station.
Haters and race baiters like Al “The Charlatan” Sharpton thrive on these scenarios. Sharpton was front and center after the Ferguson incident but he’s been silent day after day while black gangs have turned Chicago into a warzone. But it’s not just on bull**** Al. The people over at Fox News and MSNBC are as bad as he is. Fox thinks that any killing of a minority is always because said minority had it coming. They’ll go back and find things like that minority using the N-word on his or her Facebook page as a reason that person may have been violent. MSNBC will always proclaim that a white person pulling the trigger on a minority had racist intent. Both channels sow the racial divide and sit back and profit from it.
Furthermore, I can tell you that I’ve seen very disheartening posts throughout all of this. Whites think that the media is always on the black man’s side and want to vilify the white man at every turn. You ask how come white on black crime gets so much attention while the inverse does not? I’ll ask why missing minorities get almost zero coverage in the media. See, they’re in it for the ratings. They believe that everyone can feel sorry for a missing, pretty white woman. No one cares about a black single mom with hairweave. So yeah, it works both ways.
Finally, I can tell you that the hardest part of all of this has been seeing how we’ve all pretty much used this unrest to make us hate each other more. My wife, a white conservative married to a left-leaning centrist, admitted to me that she’s profiling blacks more and more lately because of what’s going on. Yesterday she saw a black guy in a BMW parked across the street and assumed he was a drug dealer. I told her that the lady who lives in that house is dating a cop and that guy could be the cop. That hurt me a bit.
What also hurts me is how blacks think that every black person is innocent and can do no wrong when things like this happen. WRONG! Know the facts before taking a side. My Father In Law is a white retired police officer. He worked in the worst part of the Palm Beach County for 25 years. That part is mostly black. He was as fair as they come and can tell you that there are good people in that city and there are bad. But I see black people posting comments that all cops are bad and most of them deserve to die. My question to them is this: How is it that I (a 32 years old black man) have never been handcuffed, battered, or beaten by the police? I’ve been pulled over a handful of times and I’ve been profiled. I’ve also complied and stayed calm each time. Look, I’m not saying all cops are good or bad. I’m also not saying that all beatings are justified. But I’m saying that some people need to realize that their actions sometimes lead to these altercations.

The most level headed realistic comment I've seen thus far.
For a site centering around data I'm surprised I've seen nothing but anecdotal evidence.
Edit: I hadn't seen SocialistSlayer's comments yet. Those that live by the sword die by the sword, isn't the thug culture wonderful? It even gets non-thugs killed. BTW in my opinion people of any color can imitate the thug life.

In Brazil a singer that preached hate towards policemen got killed... there was an outcry from fans that police wasn't investigating because he was a funk singer and come from the community...
How bizarre is to say you hate the police and complain about it's repression but then ask for it support whenever you get a problem?

Shouln't the police be above that sort of schenanigans?
