I bet they've been bit by a lot of white folks. The only real argument I can see here is that black people stick out, and that's really digging a grave. Hey, some people like to be bit. We're talking about sex, right? Well, I wasn't, but I love some light nibbling. Plus, I have a massive oral fixation.....

OK, i'll bite.
The fact the first quote is from the NAACP is silly enough.
Whatever happened to treating each case on the facts involved?
Due to me being about to go to bed (some of us need to be up on monday mornings) I havent performed exhaustive research into this particular case, but just because the police shot a black man does not automatically imply racism.
Contrary to the ZOMG IT'S RACIST QUICK MURDER IT people, non-white people do, on occasion, commit crimes, violent ones at that. It has been known, you know? And where you have police trained and equipped to defend against violent crime, violent criminals will, on occasion end up getting shot.
Yes, there are undoubtedly racists in the police force in various countries but just because a police officer shoots some armed criminal who happens to be black doesn't an evil racist make...

I'm *white* and I don't trust the piggies! let me just add to this: I've been "bitten" by the cops a few times. Doesn't it make sense that I then hate or fear them when I see them coming? Is that the kind of logic they want to run with? I try and keep as level and neutral as I can when dealing with the Police. Problem being, a lot of interactions have given me no real reason to. So by the logic quoted about being bitten by a dog, shouldn't I want to put down de piggez? I don't, honestly, but I avoid the Police because of the anxiety they cause me. I called the cops after I got out of a three on one fight by pulling out my baton (No, that's not innuendo). They were in on me because technically, the three of them weren't brandishing weapons. I suppose "I'm going to fucking kill you" isn't sufficient enough of a threat to draw a non-lethal weapon (Though the cops can do it with Tasers....)
