Unarmed white man shot dead by black officer, yet no White Lives Matter riots occur

What's going on? A deaf white man signalling to a black police officer in sign language was gunned down, how come there aren't white people in the streets of Charlotte, NC now rioting, burning down white neighbourhood businesses, threatening and beating up black people, luring black officers into sniper traps, etc?

  • Why aren't any deaf people rioting about this? Because they didn't hear anything about it.

    • Because modern day white people haven't been indoctrinated from birth that they are oppressed and its not their fault they can't be ceo's because a certain group of people hold them back. A countries people are more easily controlled if they are labeled and put into groups. The political elite have honed these skills to a fine point. Thus they can feed off this created hatred they made to faction out our country into distinct groups of voters. Thus more easily to send whatever message they want to get these groups to vote for them. If everyone had a job money respect healthcare a retirement a house etc you wouldn't care who was in office would ya? They make us Americans identify with a certain group religion race ethnicicity etc so that they can then create social injustice problems to bring out anger against each other. Then they stir the shitpot and say vote for me and I will bring justice to your specific group. Its sad we all are in the same boat, and ignorance and hatred divides us and distracts us from the real problems in life.

      • You people do realize racism is over right? Segregation ended decades ago and theres laws in place everywhere to keep discrimination in check. The only people keeping racism alive are the ones who pay off the media and people who say "you're racist" because they cant think of any other reason why people dont like them. Theres only a**holes now.

            Yesterday, when I first found this topic, the vast majority of comments were openly racist. Perpetuating the myth of the black man as a savage and wild creature, barely in control of his emotions, while the white man is civilised and cultured. At least one of the comments openly referred to black people as apes. All these comments had been allowed to stand unchallenged. In response I posted a comment suggesting institutionalised racism in the police force and oppression of the black community. It was no worse than what's in the post at the top of the thread, and it was certainly better than most of the responses. Within a few hours I'd been challenged numerous times. I was called an idiot, called out for spreading BS and it was demanded that I show proof I was right (despite those people posting no proof that I was wrong). In short, in a thread that was filled with numerous examples of racism, the suggestion of racism was immediately challenged. I don't have a problem with most of the people who challenged me. You should call out bullshit when you see it. I find it telling, however, that people seemed to be ok with racism when it was aimed towards blacks but felt the need to speak up when it was aimed towards whites.

              Because white people haven't spent decades being unfairly treated by a black police force, nor are they statistically more likely to be shot by a black police officer? Just a guess.

                          • Who cares about whether they were black or white, why not ask why cops keep shooting people for stupid shit. "Stop resisting arrest!" *guy stands still being jerked around by cops* "STOP RESISTING"

                            As someone who is deaf since birth, I don't want this to happen all on the basis of not wearing my cochlear implants whenever I'm outside. Plus, the shoot first and ask questions later isn't really going to solve anything on an assumed harmless situation.
