would there be riots and a world wide firestorm if a black cop shot a white kid?

Chances are that they would not even bother to cover the story. And if it's covered at all, you're not going to find the story anywhere near the front pages.

UMMM....., here is just ONE instance THAT JUST HAPPENED. Where is the media firestorm and RIOTS? AUGUST 20th, Salt Lake City, Utah. UNARMED white kid shot by black cop. D E A D.

and the kid DIDNT rob any store, he was walking out or the store with his headphones on (like kids do these days), and didn't hear the cop yelling at him. He went to pull up his pants (since they wear them halfway down their a s s these days), and the cop thought he was going for a gun.... and SHOT HIM. D E A D. Google it. WHERE is the media outrage over a racist cop? WHERE are the riots from people demanding JUSTICE? NOTHING. no doubt there will be an investigation, and at worst, the cop will probably be stuck at a desk for a couple of years, as it probably WAS NOT racially motivated, just like THIS shooting wasn't racially motivated, but they MAKE it in to a race case to further a political agenda. it makes me sick

It's the outside black rioters that are causing the problem. Not the Ferguson residence.

If the circumstances were suspect enough. However, let's see...there are known cases of whites rioting when it's a black man accused of rape.

No white people do not respond the same way, when it has happen in my town and town around me no one riots or demonstrated. Even it the kid is a poor white kid that has never been able to get out of the Ghetto

The point is that when a white kid is shot, someone gets punished. There's no police driven cover-up. There's no paid vacation. And black people wouldn't donate upwards of a 100k to the cop and leave messages like "thanks for protecting the real Americans" and "that was a waste of bullets."

Yes, if the circumstances were suspicious (as in many police shootings) and if it was racially motivated.

All police shootings should be tight scrutinised.

We pay and entrust them to uphold the law, not dish out vigilante "justice".

Nice nose

it happens all the time?? Give 3 instances this year if you want to be taken slightly seriously.

not likely, he has to be black if you want public outrage.
