Yet another police shooting.

Not sure if you remember, a Harvard professor, Dr. Gates was arrested a few years ago in his own home. He had lost the key to his house and was trying to get in. Someone called the cops on him. The guy who responded was a rookie white cop. Cop was suspicious, professor became belligerent and was eventually arrested. This pretty much sums up the race relations in US.

Its not just the cops, its also the black community as a whole. They refuse to assimilate and distrust authorities and they may have a justifiable reason ( disproportionate rates of arrests and conviction of blacks ) for it. Even the ones that are very successful act ghetto. Cops on their part see blacks as criminals, and approach every situation involving blacks with prejudice.

I mean we have racist police officers in UK but they wouldn’t dare shoot at a criminal let alone a person minding his own business.
