Can you prove a white man would not have been shot? Perhaps you can provide us with the names of those white men shot in the back.

Not by the SC police best I can recall.
It was that dirty little coward who shot Mr. Howard that laid poor Jesse in his grave.

As to the documented South Carolina history of racial profiling by police, see:
http://www.ibtimes.com/walter-scott-deat......-1874008 Also, it appears that they will be taking another look at the prior incident you referred to. |

I am in no way defending this officer.
Why are you and others so invested in the idea that everything is racially motivated when it has to do with unfortunate outcomes for blacks? Not so much when it is the other way around.

Everything is racially motivated?
No. Just the justice, enforcement, economic, and political systems in this country. Otherwise not so much. The other way around? Please point to the dozens of unarmed white males shot by Black officers.

Like all of the black on white crimes committed that go unnoticed or unmentioned in the media. But, if you want an example of a black officer shooting an unarmed white man, how about the killing of 20 year old Dillon Taylor? Where was the outrage? And, there was no DOJ investigation. And, I don't remember any rioting or destruction. Do you even know his name?
