Of course it wouldn't.
Only thing people care about is that it was a black killed by a white.
Being as that cops did the shooting just makes it better.
The logic of not being a thug piece of shite trouble maker completely escapes people.

This was blue on black that's the issue here and it's been the issue for the longest it's all coming to light bc of technology. It just so happens that majority of the cops are white. They are patrolling and policing a group of people that they have no connection with. Socio-economics play a big role. It's hard for a white man to understand the plight of the black man and it's hard for a black man to understand the plight of a white man.
What about the even bigger issue of the black community? Why was this 37 year old grown man selling CDs in a gas station parking lot and waving a gun around? No, you want to focus on how evil whitey doesn't understand the plight of the black man. This isn't the 60s. The only thing holding black people back is themselves.

not even close to comparable...

Do you care that a lot of the people being paid to uphold the law are acting no differently than the "black thug [that] killed a white chick"?
You're fricking kidding me. We don't have cops just running around the streets shooting innocent black men.

Two times in the last few weeks the police have raided the wrong house and shot the homeowners.

Oh so even if there isn't a glaring big difference which there is, that makes it ok for these thugs with a badge to murder someone?

Really? The only thing holding a kid who can't even get a decent education without going to a private school on an athletic scholarship is themselves. Wow

Well, yeah. Just explaining why there's more attention paid to the latter and not the former. Strictly comparing the level of attention, wasn't really trying to break down the minor details. He was still a civilian, after all.
Civilians killing other civilians != officers killing civilians
One is going to garner more attention and scrutiny for obvious reasons

Per the Washington Post, there have been 505 instances in which police shot and killed an individual in 2016 (including recent BR case).
Breakdown of those shot and killed:
White - 233
Black - 122
Hispanic - 79
Other - 20
Unknown - 51

U have to break that down into population size to have accurate numbers.
Posted on 7/6/16 at 12:37 pm to 5Alive
That's a big number for only 13.2 percent of the population
Posted on 7/6/16 at 12:38 pm to 5Alive
You'd also have to break it down by % of population committing the crimes, socioeconomic status, location of the shooting, demographics of the locstion of shooting, etc. This is just the raw data.

Why can't that kid get a good education? Who's fault is that?

Obviously...but that does beg the question as to what the percentage is of crimes committed by race, does it not? And if the % of total crimes committed by blacks is more than 13.2%, are we ok with accepting that number on it's face, or do we need to massage that number as well?
I see your point, and in many ways agree with it...but you're barking up the wrong tree with this line I think.

Death by thug committing a crime. Death by cop doing his job. Yes, there was a difference.

Great line of thinking right there my man. Please look into socioeconomics

Again, I ask you, who shapes those socioeconomics? Surely you don't think black folks are being held down by the white man in 2016 do you?
