Where is the media outcry for this? Why no protesters in the streets for an innocent life that was taken by gang violence?

My friend showed me the aftermath video of this incident, really wish he didn't though because it just made me really pissed off. A child had to lose his life because some idiots wanted to settle some score by killing people.

I seriously do no suggest watching the video but here is a link if you really want to see it

 
That looks like it happened on international, but I could be mistaken.
I used to live in a ghetto neighborhood in Oakland in my late teens, early 20s, and at times, it sounded like a war was going on outside. You could clearly hear people shooting it out, and not a cop siren could be heard.
 
Poverty and guns can make a saint a demon

There are literally millions of people living in abject poverty and owning guns, who are not out killing each other. Neither poverty, nor guns, are to blame.

It's usually the mentality of "I want money but I don't want to work for it" that causes a lot of violence in low income areas. People turn to gangs because they see it as an easy way to make a lot of money, but really all it usually leads to it prison or death.
 
Human beings are pretty much fucked.

There is always hope, but unfortunately we are simply beasts. We are barely out of the jungle on this planet.

And humanity will eventually die of civilization.
 
More like when the perp is white, the victim is black, and the perp isn't charged.

Maybe, wouldn't know since I am white and haven't had much run ins with police. But it really doesn't matter tbh, all lives/people should matter regardless of what color people are.

Doesn't matter if a white cop is violating a black man, it only matters that a Cop is violating a Man. The reason why he is doing it doesn't matter, only the fact that he is doing it matters. I think the fact that the media brings light to the race of the victim is racist in it's own sense.

Violence is the problem. People doing violent things is the issue, doesn't matter what color the people are or why they are doing it, it only matters that it is being done.

That is most definitely the way it should be. Unfortunately it doesn't really seem to be the case.

It would be nice if humans could think this way but when you look at the statistic it don't lie. Cops kill way more black people than anybody else and the whole police state is completely out of control.

There are way less cops in rural, mostly white areas. Solution: less cops.
 
theres no outcry or protests because this is a normal thing in areas still laden with gang violence. its why you saw this on worldstar and not the national news. stray bullets don't discriminate against age, ethnicity, gender, etc.

Wrong, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, more whites are killed by police than blacks.
 
If they catch the shooter he's going to be toast when he gets inside. Green light for the drive by and plus he killed a 3 years old.

In a perfect world you would be right, but the truth is we have some serious problems in this country with race. And we have a history of whites, in particular white cops, killing black people and not being charged for it. We can't pretend that isn't the case.

Could have something to do with that fact that the majority of crime is carried out by black people, just saying. More times than not the person killed isn't some innocent person just walking about.

If an innocent person is killed by a police officer I don't give a shit what color they are, it is fucked up. But if you live a life a crime and end up getting gunned down by the cops one day while you were doing shit you shouldn't have been doing it is hard to really feel that bad. It is still unfortunate but that person made their decisions and it got them killed.

Well lets not pretend that black people killing black people isn't the case either, both subjects need to be dealt with.

93% of black murders are committed by black people.

So lets not put the blame solely on white cops when it is actually black people holding back black people more than anything.

It's very rare you come across stories of completely innocent black men that just happened to be targeted by a cop and killed. More often than not they are criminals doing illegal acts. But how many innocent black men are killed/robbed by other black men? Why is that not a problem?

The statistic isn't true, it's the other way around, cops kill more whites, according to the CDC.

my brother-in-law grew up off international. it really is like a war-zone. every home has bars on it's windows, speed-bumps every thirty-feet, deadbolts on every front-door. he's honestly lucky that he never got into too much trouble. aside from the occasional fight, etc.
