Would it be too much...
..to ask for a link?
Nupe2 said:I know this isn't a local story but this board seems to really get fired up when a racially charged incident occurs involving young black males. That is especially true when the young black male commits or is alleged to have committed a crime. Now that it appears that the shoe is on the other foot, again, where is the outrage? Where are all the folks that post here about justice and equality, etc. etc.?
Just curious. Have a nice day.

Dude...
From the story;
Racially charged???????????????????
Everything was fine, right up to the point they used a car to try and run a man over?
Is it fair to say that there may well be a good bit more to this story than a 'racially charged incident'???

I was watching Countdown last night and I think they've had the only fair report on it.
First of all, it's not an issue of race, the shooting officer was black.
Second of all, he deliberately ran over someone (who just so happened to be an UC Police officer).
He also ran into a van twice, deliberately.
Legally speaking, the "Victim" committed several crimes, including hit & run and attempted murder.
I think the police reaction is completely justified.

NOT Politically Correct!!

And if you count 4 officers with 9mm, 15 rounds each, that's 60 rounds total and 50 rounds where fired at the scene. It makes sense since most officers shooting are not asking their buddies how many rounds did you fire???
The hype comes from the fact he was suppose to get married the next day and had two kids with his girl. As far as I'm concerned, based on his above actions, I also would have filled him full of lead and not thought twice about it, his weapon just happened to be an automobile...

Sorry about that. I thought folks had already read about the story or seen it on TV.
Based on the reaction in the thread, I think my assumption was pretty accurate. Obviously, none of us was there and the truth may never be known but I wanted to raise the issue in light of previous threads on this forum.
Although you correctly point out in another response to one of my posts that the shooting was not done solely by whites, I stand by the "racially charged" comment. If you don't think this is a racially charged incident so be it. What we post here doesn't change what occured nor does it change how the incident will be perceived.

So if the guy was white would it still be racially charged since half the officers were black?
Would white people be up in arms about this situation if race was a factor? I know I wouldn't because he acted stupidly and it got him killed.

I don't think anything...
...at this point because what we're told about this is rather limited. Are you suggesting that the black driver tried to run down the cop soley because the cop was white?

The only reason it was racially charged is because the "black community" made it that way.Nupe2 said:
In my opinion, this sort of thing does nothing positive for race relations. Like the OJ verdict, it just makes whites resent and fear blacks.

Of course not, anytime a white person is killed, it's because they deserved to be. And whenever Sharpton and his fools find out that a white man did nothing wrong, it's fair because the black race was oppressed and it's fair retrubution and blah blah blah

I don't know, maybe, maybe not. Since we aren't witnesses, we don't know whether he did something stupid, whether he was afraid (undercover officers vs. uniformed officers) of strangers approaching or the altercation (see link I just added to most recent post above) or whether the officers overreacted.

I don't think the OJ verdict was a race thing. I really honestly believe there wasn't enough evidence.
