Once again a black man is killed by police without cause, and once again the police are caught in a lie. Reminder that about 96% of people killed by police are male.

He fought with the cops and then was running towards his car where he had a loaded handgun. Fuck him.

"This isn't trial by media, and it's not trial by public opinion. This has to be based on facts."

Let's all jump to conclusions before the investigation is completed & truth is revealed. Ready, set, go!!

I think OP is implying media talk about race and not gender.

I'm pretty sure different races and genders are more likely to commit different types of crime. How many armed bank robberies are women??? If judgment for the same crime was different between race or gender, then you might have something to talk about.

I would imagine it is because most police fatalities are the result of being perceived as a threat. You can bet your ass people aren't all that worried about a petite blonde girl reaching for a gun in the glove box.

And that's probably a fair perception, considering that it likely rarely, if ever, happens.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, all the evidence points towards a situation where it is the males of disadvantaged groups who get the most shit and the least acceptance from society in general. Which btw, completely demolishes feminist intersectional theory.

Of course, when some of them act out because of their position it legitimises the majority's views, perpetuating the cycle.

Why do we need to bring race into this?

I thought I read somewhere white men are killed much more often than black men are by cops in America. Just white males don't get parades or riots when they are killed.
