    It's not ignored. Lots of people are concerned about violence in US cities.

    They're trained to do a job, sometimes they aren't trained very well, and sometimes the cops are just bastards. Sometimes the laws and sentences are unfair and racially motivated, and it doesn't matter who kills people, it matters why they're dying, and usually most crime is about money for the drugs the CIA sells.

    Same can be said for whites. I was just looking at the stats last night, and I know this for a fact.

    Submit a call to action. If it were a big deal, it would be protested or should be. Lead the charge!
