Pretty dumb statement if you've seen the video...of course people are going to care. Now if he was white no one would have cared.

I feel certain he is black as the US press has refused to mention race or show a mugshot.
If he was white you'd know it by now.

And you're a liar too.
Just like Trump...you sure you ain't a Trumptard?
I said I don't often vote for Republicans...it's right there in my post.
I vote for the person not the party so I'd say you're the gullible one because you give blind loyalty to a party and anyone who puts the D by their name.
I mentioned Rice since he's the last Republican I voted for and he was one of those who voted to impeach Trump, FYI.

You're about as horrible a person as Trump, and that's saying a lot. In fact you're a whole lot like him...anyone who doesn't agree with you 100% is immediately mocked and dehumanized.

You don't know anything about me other than I don't want open borders so that makes me a Trump supporting cultist and a defender of everything Republican...except I've said nothing of the sort.

I get along fine with most all folks except ignorant fanatics like yourself.

What makes you think I voted for Trump??
Wrong again genius.
I can't stand the guy. He's a horrible person and did nothing for this country as president.
I'm just pointing out why so many did gravitate to him. They know that liberals loathe them and you've shown that today.
I don't often vote for Republicans but I did vote for Tom Rice.

So you think you know my circumstances?? Perhaps you're not as smart as you think you are.
My initial comment was to the long time smarta$$ Danni who seems to think that only immigrants can do construction or farming. Maybe she thinks like you that poor Americans are too dumb and lazy for that. That elitist liberal attitude is the exact reason so much of poor white America lined up behind Trump and the Republicans...even though it defies logic.
The reason I put my own roof on and just finished painting my house is I couldn't afford to hire someone. If I want it done I have to learn how, put in the effort and get it done myself.
See I am one of those hard-working people struggling to make ends meet...you know the ones you pretend to care about but in reality don't give a damn about.

Self reliance is Republican thinking??

Then what is Democrat thinking...we need open borders so I can exploit desperate people for cheap labor??

When I needed a new roof last year I put it on myself...by myself. And there isn't anyone from south of the border that could have done it better or faster.
If people want cheap shoddy work go ahead and hire whoever but you get what you pay for and sometimes not even that.
As for vegetables I just picked my own from my garden.

Tao, you may be correct in some geographic areas....I'm thinking urban, but in rural areas where I live wages aren't budging. If anything they're offering a lower starting wage.
I've recently seen manufacturing jobs through a temp agency which is how all the employers around here operate now offering a starting wage of $7.25!!
We have a Wendy's in our town and another about 20 miles away close for 2 weeks claiming they didn't have enough workers. They would rather close than raise wages.
I've been at my job 8 years, started at $13 and now at $16...wages aren't moving in rural areas especially the South.

Maybe a few are gaining leverage but for the vast majority of American workers it isn't true.

What's so crazy about not wanting to take a vaccine that hasn't had adequate testing and research, and is not FDA approved? Especially when it's supposed to prevent a virus that 99.9% of people recover from without it.

Okay Snoofy so go back and address my original question that you dismissed.

The examples I gave were to show the outrageous behavior of police towards white suspects...two of them specifically because of the striking similarity to the more well situations involving black victims.

The media didn't cover them and all these outraged Americans didn't protest or riot...they didn't give a s#!t.

And if you consider all the circumstances of the individual situations you find that unarmed whites are more likely to be shot than unarmed blacks....So why are only the shooting of black folks sparking all this protest and outrage?

It can't be about police brutality.

*Duncan Lemp...effin spell check.

New Account Snoofy...not hardly. But if you don't have a legitimate answer I guess an insult is the best you can do.

Back to the topic...what about Linden Cameron, 13 year old autistic boy shot in the back 11 times. This was Sept 2020 when the outrage of police brutality was still burning hot after a summer of unrest.

What about Zack Hammond, 19 shot in similar circumstances to Mr Wright except the intentionally drew his weapon and shot Zack. It took almost a year to get video released and the cop was never charged or reprimanded in any way.

And Mr Hammond did not have any violent felony charges against him like Mr. wright who also has a warrant for his arrest after having his bind revoked for failing to meet the conditions of his release.

Somebody already mentioned Daniel Shaver..which was one of the worst cases of police brutality ever caught on camera. And again no one was charged and the cop who shot him was allowed to retire early with a pension due to PSTD.

You can also check out Duncan Kemp who also died in very similar circumstances as another celebrated shooting. See if you can figure out which one, and then check out the date.

Why are these shootings only a big deal when it happens to a black person?
