If Sweat and Matt were black

we will have to one day. Leaving the country for a bit.

Good luck on your trip man, cant wait to take a break from CR myself.

Sweat was running away and was shot in the back

It doesn't matter. This falls under the "fleeing felon" rule.

What if they were Muslim? Jewish? Chinese?
I don't get why anyone would bring their race into a situation in which race is totally irrelevant, unless they are just trying to spur on racist answers?
Some cases, Race and/or Religion is relevant. The Sick, racist kid who shot up a Black Church simply because they were Black fits. The sick Nazi idiot who shot up a Jewish Temple in KC fits.
This clearly doesn't, so why would anyone bring it up or wonder about what if??

Would there be outrage?

Matt shot 3 times in the head for not complying with officers, did not point the gun, just did not drop it. Sweat shot 2 times in the back running from the police.

These were bad dudes and got what they deserved but I don't see the streets of Coeur D'alene Idaho, Cheyenne Wyoming or Salt Lake City on fire.

They were armed and dangerous convicts who escaped from prison......race has absolutely nothing to do with nothing......

If black prob still be in. Free room and board and nailing a white bitch

This is an easy one.

In Baltimore they were "given space to destroy".

For two runaway felons she would've said, "We want to give them a head start with adequate water bottles and blankets for their journey"

Silly thread...

They were gonna eat a bullet regardless of race - everyone knows they were getting shot - but if they were black we would be hearing - even though they were escaped murderers that their lives mattered

 

[neverbend]

Sharpton ,may have made a big to do if black escapees were shot in the back regardless the guy who shot Sweat in the back
is certainly no hero!

People are missing the point. Blacks get pissed off because they are viewed and treated like criminals, and second class citizens. This thread pretty much proves that point is a real thing.

That they act like criminals and 2nd class citizens?

That's not what I said, I said they are treated that way. The fact that this thread is aimed at comparing black citizens, to escaped white murderous felons, says a lot about some of the posters views. Lot of them are the same guys that want the confederate battle flag hanging in city hall.

How many useless races threads can this site have?

Al Sharpton is a dick, we get it. Now talk about the NFL or something instead...

 

[michael777]
