I think there is just too much shooting regardless of white/black. If you are going to be a cop, you have duty of care and responsibility. That means that in some cases, you need to risk your personal safety over and above that of the public. So you don't shoot without bloody good cause, which doesn't include a criminal record.

in those two recent cases, both ppl shot are reported as reaching to their pockets/waists.

Good explanation @Ro_S!  Reaching to their pockets/waists is a surely a righteous justification for shooting them!

So is
A) looking directly at the officer
looking away from the officer
C) having dark skin.

Wake up!   People in USA are allowed to carry guns.  If a policeman stops you and tells you to keep your hands in clear view and yells at you to stop reaching to your pocket/waist, then join up the dots!

Horrible.

Lots of poverty, lots of people with the bare minimum in terms of education, increasingly polarised politics, violent rhetoric from people who should know better, massive levels of racism and easy access to weapons. I genuinely worry for whats going to happen over there in the next few years.

Norfolk is a tough place these days.....
