  1. I feel that blacks are generally more involved in trouble so that is why they are the ones being killed.

  2. I believe that this is true to a degree but not entirely.

  3. Everything that a person does is racial to some point because it is something that has been instilled in our minds, the thought has always been that whites are the upstanding citizens and blacks are thieves and robbers. Even though neither one of these is entirely true that thought is still in our minds.

  4. I believe that blacks are more likely to be killed because of racial problems. All the evidence is their but some people don't want to see it that way or have their own opinions why they are being killed.

  5. Cops don't just run around willy nilly shooting people for the hell of it, if they did wouldn't you think more people would be dead? Statistically speaking, blacks are the majority of the population that are committing these violent crimes, that lead to deaths. may that be by the accuser or the law.

    If you aren't put into that situation, then nothing will happen to you. In what I read on the Micheal Brown case, previously, before the incident with officer Wilson, Brown was just reported for assault at a convenience store. So what are they odd that when approached by the officer he would. A. Go nicely. or B. Resist? If he assaulted someone, possibly 10 minutes prior, he is most likely going to act against the officer. And if that officer felt he was in danger, then he is protected by law, to defend himself. Weather that be with lethal force or not. which means, officer Wilson acted within the law.

    2. trezty said it well, if a cop feels threatened enough then it should be there decision if they are in enough danger to use lethal force or not, regardless of the color of the skin, if youre going to resist arrest and not obey the law the cops are going to take you down.. weather that is with a tazer or a handgun it is the officers choice, especially if he feels threatened

  6. i believe they(black people) get forced on the most because they're most of the time in the middle of it all.
