You seriously don't understand the outrage over an unarmed kid getting killed by a police officer?
his point is more unarmed, innocent children are killed in drive by shootings in the ghetto than by police. He is only asking why the outrage now, why not when truly innocent children are shot and killed by a thug.

there should be outrage...however, I'm not understanding how it is racial? It should be at our LEOs. They aren't held to a proper standard, and are protected for things we would do some serious fricking time for

Outrage over that happens, but it doesn't get as much media attention. If you have worked in a city you would see the huge amount of effort that people give daily to fighting the wave of crime and violence. They also recognize the need for more police protection in some areas, which they ask for every day.

The problem with out of control officers is another concern but thankfully it comes up less often or with less obvious results.
