black cops shoot white kid dead
I find it interesting (read:disgusting) that black cops who go over the edge and kill a white kid are now facing trial for 2nd degree murder. White cops who have killed black kids don't even get a manslaughter charge. But, but, 'Murika doesn't have a race problem.
Not only do we have a race problem, we have a very big cop problem. Clearly there are people operating as armed protectors of society that are poorly trained and lack self-control. IMHO, the day we cannot criticize and scrutinize the police is the day we submit to a police state.
