    We're learning that the FBI was not contact just once, but apparently twice about Nikolas Cruz. What we know is that the Florida shooter simply does not fit the profile of the type of person Trump & Sessions see as a threat.https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/964619629221031936 …

    My Latest. WHITENESS. Whiteness is what allowed Nikolas Cruz to get to the point where he shot & killed 17 kids. Had he presented as ANYTHING other than white, the 62 previous warning signs I counted would've been more than enough to stop him. https://theintercept.com/2018/02/16/florida-shooting-nikolas-cruz/ …

        Black people can end up being killed for having a brake light out. #WalterScott Selling loose cigarettes #EricGarner Leaving a party #JordanEdwards but a white kid who threatens to shoot up a school& who was investigated by the FBI walked around free until he killed 17.

        And I just saw Chuck Todd demonstrate a lack of courage when he described the typical mass shooter as “young & male” but left out “white”. The reason it’s typically a white male is because they can hide behind the fact that they don’t fit the erroneous profile. @MeetThePress

        The FBI is too busy racial profiling black people for expressing their First Amendment rights.

        Can we address the FACT the local police went to his house 39 times since 2010. Did they know he had guns? Did they know he was dangerous? What did they know & how were they treating this this situation? Did they watch this kid? I mean, putting this all on the FBI is BS.

        Exactly. Sessions has deliberately downplayed white supremacy as a threat and refrained from investigations into—let’s face it—Trumps supporters.

        The FBI need to spend more time racial profiling white men because they are very dangerous to this country. And leave African-Americans alone.

        But they certainly fit the profile of US mass murderers, white, male and routinely young.

        My thought is they, The FBI, were busy off looking for that Fictional Black Gang that Sessions said was out to kill Cops.

        Right. And now they want to go after field officers, lets go after Sessions.
