Quote:No I am not.  Progressives are very quick to throw the term racism at the drop of a hat and go out of their way to prove it.  Look at the mess surrounding Trayvon Martin.  What did the liberal media do?  They posted a picture of a 13 year old child who was shot by a white man.  They did this when the facts were it was a 17 year old male and the person pulling the trigger was actually hispanic/caucasian.   Once the trial was held, and the feds reviewed the case they found no criminal wrong doing.  (For the record I personally believe George Zimmerman overreached his position as a community block captain)  How about Micheal Brown?  What did the media do?  An unarmed black youth was shot and killed by a white police officer.  How did that turn out?  Two suspect matching the description of two individuals were walking down the middle of the street, were stopped by the police.  One of them chose to challenge the police to the point that he actually assaulted the officer and reached for his gun.  The other perpetrator (a career criminal) created a story that his buddy was walking up the the police car with his hands up and the white guy shot him for no reason.  How did that turn out after all of the facts came to light and the Feds reviewed the case?  

 

Progressives are very quick to say that police brutality happens at the drop of a hat.  They have put the boys in blue at a disadvantage where they are second guessing their every action.  Again, after running the tags on this vehicle had they shown up with guns drawn and nothing was found the screams of racism would have been loud and clear.  Instead they showed up unprepared and now they are both dead.  Let that sink in.  Progressives refuse to acknowledge that certain individuals fit a profile because it may include race.  

 

When I hear a progressive acknowledge these facts I will gladly retract my broad paint brush.

 

Apparently you are listening to talking heads and deriving a conclusion about millions based on what you heard. We have progressives on this very board who posted nothing like what you've described.

 

As for the case in question in this thread, you are arriving at conclusions to which even the authorities involved have yet to arrive. Maybe you are generalizing a bit.
