I got to thinking about the famous speech from Mario Savio at UC Berkeley on the free speech movement ... ironically a movement that was started by conservative groups on campus that was told to pack up their tables and move out from the main campus square:
I would even take a step back and say, even assuming it is not a formalized race issue and it is clearly a crime and drug issue, how is that even an acceptable response? Committing crimes and resisting arrest should not be an automatic death sentence. Due process exists for a reason. Furthermore, committing crimes has due process in America where theoretically a person is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. But it seems like sentencing is sometimes being carried out before even they receive their Miranda rights. How is that ever OK?
You can point to a statistical law of averages, but relying on only that also ignores a long history of law enforcement abuses and the fact that, yes, some people -- and they can be cops also -- are still outright triggered racists too in this modern era. Now I have a brother who is a cop and who tells me that he sees it's never about race in his eyes. He has biases of course, but for the most part I generally believe him for his experiences. That does not speak to the outliers that exist. Because all cops aren't racist murderous cops, just as all black people aren't rapists.
Your question gets down to whether there's a zero tolerance mentality about it when with many other races that isn't a case. Well, you have to admit that black people have a lot of historical reasons to be triggered and to experience single events as merely a continuation of a long history rather than a statistical anomaly. And I cannot see how blacks would be capable of separating a statistical anomaly from a long history without sufficient evidence that the anomaly abuses are being flagged as such, properly prosecuted, and with due process applied for an excessive use of force if not also murder charges in some cases. But we are clearly not there yet.
You can't equate the state-sanctioned murder of someone with a killing between private citizens ... let alone with one being justified by an arbitrary quantity of the other. It's one thing for your fellow man to say your life doesn't matter. It's quite another when a society and its taxpayer-funded enforcement judges that it doesn't matter.
