1. Crime is a matter of proximity & opportunity, so most crime is white-on-white, black-on-black, brown-on-brown, etc.
@howie004 Um, vast majority of cops are white, so this rarely happens. But when black cops shoot unarmed people, it is news, yes.

@HeerJeet But you didn't answer my question. Would it have had the same impact? -
@howie004 It's a meaningless question since this incident sparked outrage based on prior community experience with racist policing. - Show replies

@HeerJeet What I'm trying to get at here is that as blacks we are outraged when our race is attacked. -
@howie004 Sure, that's part of the dynamic -- and is response not just an individual shooting but larger pattern of police racism. - Show replies
