Why did the police kill the white teenager with the gun... I was told they only shoot black kids ?

Update:

Wage Slave - you know what ... I’m really not 

None of these are cases where the police are just going around killing random people 

These are all situations where violent criminals fight with the police, resist arrest as a result

When a police officer is threatened by a suspect with a weapon it is appropriate for the police to shoot that suspect to protect the lives of the police officers and the lives of innocent people around 

This is true regardless of race

    earlier on CNN's home page, the following "bullet points" appeared in consecutive order..

    "Minneapolis prosecutors considering charges against white officer that killed unarmed Black man..."

    "Maryland investigating state trooper killing of teen."

    ...and to think, these are the same people who complain about "institutional" racism and calling out others for THEIR bias...

    The kid probably didn't follow the law or direction of that officer who then took the law into his/her own hands and murdered someone without due process. If there is justice, that officer will be immediately removed from the force and put on trial. They should be facing life in prison, especially if there is a video of it happening while bystanders plead with that officer to stop.

    I like how the argument here is "but, but, police kill white people too!" ... and y'all ain't mad about that?

    And no one is going to protest either.
