Quote:I didn't think I even had to weigh in on this one. If someone says that he wants to kill white cops, clearly race is a factor. Not the only factor, but a big one.

 

Maybe I'm not making myself clear?  He said he hated whites and he hated cops but he focused on cops.  So yes, as I think I've stated before, the guy (a very disturbed vet who more than likely has some PTSD ailments of one kind or another) had a racial bias.

 

I don't think I'm insane for thinking the main issue here was a hatred of the cops, and not his hatred for whites.  The thing that caused him to go out and kill (whites)/cops is the police brutality over the previous 2 days.  If it was a solely racial thing for him, he could have done his attacks targeting any random whites he saw at any time prior to this event.

 

I mean, am I losing my mind?  Yes, he hates whites too.  But he targeted cops.  To me, that means the main issue here isn't race, it's the police.  

 

LOL, I guess I'm the only one on this one.  I think I'm just doing a poor job of trying to explain what I'm thinking on this topic.
