People of color are not above the law. No one is saying that Brown or Garner were being saints or that they are innocent of what they were doing.

However, the trend in this country is that in similar situations if Brown and Garner are white, they'd likely be in jail right now, but alive.

OK, who knows if Brown did all this, but lets look at this example:

Are you saying that if a big white guy walking down the street gets into an argument with a cop in his car, reaches in, punches the cop, struggles for the gun, shot fired, big white guy runs off a ways, then says "you're too big a p***y to shoot me" to the cop, and runs back at him, the big white guy would likely just be in jail instead of dead now?

Yep. Seems kinda ridiculous to say "If he were white, he'd be alive", if Brown did that kind of crap. Like he did when he shoplifted at the store, right before the shooting incident.

The trend in this country appears to be that white males in dangerous situations are more likely to come out alive:

Armed man shot, injured by San Diego police in Mission Bay - 10News.com KGTV ABC10 San Diego

than black males in similar or less dangerous situations:

South Carolina trooper shot unarmed man, police say - CNN.com

You're still nuts if you imply that a white guy acting like Micheal Brown did would have had a better chance of surviving.

We don't know exactly how Micheal Brown acted with the cop, though it's proven he attacked the cop. Here's a pic again of how Micheal Brown was acting earlier that day, while shoplifting. After the shooting, some described him as a "gentle giant". Smh.


Oh and shame on your selective quotes above. Just like shame on the selective outrage of people above apparently only against perjury when it suits them.

Salt Lake cop cleared in shooting of unarmed white man

28-year-old man was arrested Wednesday after an hour long standoff with the Orange County Sheriff's Office, officials said. - Gunman that police didn't shoot was black, in case you wonder

Gunman executes 2 NYPD cops in Garner 'revenge'



There is a perception out there that needs addressing. And it's not just all about racism on whites part.

"There is nothing more painful to me at this stage of my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery, then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.” - Jesse Jackson

So why would Jesse Jackson say that?

......actually that is exactly what the black community is saying and how they are being treated (remembered) .
