What is wrong with discussing race? Nothing I said was offensive and it's usually one of the key topics of the discussion when these police shootings get brought up; and the shootings that usually garner the most attention are when a white cop shoots a black suspect.
I can admit it was a little snarky, but it's not like what I said is just some random occurrence that just fell out of the sky. I do however think we should drop this little exchange though as it's adding nothing of substance to the thread.

"Sorry couldn't resist that last one
Race gets brought up more often when it is a white cop because there is a history of profiling blacks, and a history of racism against blacis. It shouldnt be hard to see why that would get more attention.
There is a racial component, but even blacks profile other blacks. But the larger problem is the 'shoot first, ask questions later' manner in which cops tend to handle cases.
