Quote:I never claimed it was racial, but the assumption was made that it wasn't racial. So I wanted to know what would need to be present in this situation to deem it racial. You say you won't pretend it doesn't exist, can you name the last time there was police involvement where it was? Much of what you said doesn't apply to anything I've said in this thread. What was the purpose in volunteering this information? Serious question. Lastly, you mentioned you've seen racism on both sides, are you aware of what the definition of racism is?

Sure I'll entertain ya... Do you have information regarding the responding cops personal beliefs? Do have have information showing discipline for such racial acts? Do you have information regarding any prior contact of the responding officers and the deceased that were racial in nature? My point was that there is no information that you or I currently have that prove this is racially driven. It is irresponsible for folks to interject this perceived racism without facts. This needs to stop being the go to rally cry.

 

The ones I can think of off the top of my head are the San Francisco Police Department Officer and the murder of the two NYPD cops killed while sitting in their car.

 

I'll repeat, no race is "superior" or "inferior" to another and they all have good and bad. I'll also state that no one race has the monopoly on racism or discrimination.
