idk how anyone could look at this any differently or even attempt at excusing the guy's actions

I certainly don't excuse the guy's actions. Sounds like a real dick.

But when a black dude mugs a white guy, or breaks into the home of a family who happens to be white, well, that's just crime.

When a white dude acts like a jerk, it's gotta be race-based.

But let's say it is profiling. Why should a I care more about a guy who pushes a black dude because of race than I do about a black guy who shoves a gun in the face of a white guy to get his iPhone?

I'm not directing that at you as if you represent black people or people who make these arguments. But that's where the disconnect comes from, IMO, on stories like this.
