Michael Brown was killed by a poorly trained and stupid fucking cop. The cop actively chased that massively obese 300 pound kid somewhere around 50, 60, 70 yards. Yet, when Brown turned around, the cop chose not to retreat that same distance and call for assistance. Shitty cop, shitty training, shitty decision making. Shitty result.

Shitty result, yes. Shitty cop, maybe. Shitty "victim", absolutely. The cop did society a favor.

Morality is also learned. There isn't much about us that doesn't require some level of instruction. Prejudice is often a matter of conclusions drawn by experience.

For example, a black man that has had multiple physical altercations with white men will understandably begin to view all white men in a certain way. He will still learn to trust certain individuals among that group, but his default assumptions will be wary. The same can apply to cops.

Prejudice can come in a lot of forms, and sometimes, it can be beneficial.

So, it’s not “natural” after all. Glad you clarified that.

Says the guy who "lives in an extremely white place." If you lived in a more "diverse" area, you might have a different view on how racial dynamics work. It's not all "whitey bad."

You just love that make believe “if” bullshit, don’t you? Why doesn’t reality work for you?

I will concede that my hypothetical in my previous post might be giving you more credit than is due. Your liberal dogma might still result in your flawed assumptions.

I'll say this much. I do place a higher priority on holding police accountable than holding an average person accountable. So, from that perspective, I agree that Floyd's case can be seen as more important. However, I'm saying that the media isn't doing this out of some perceived justice issue. They're doing it because they know the racial side of it is what draws attention to the story.

What's this "media" you're talking about? Seriously. TV? What?
