Police shot this kid (unarmed) over 10 grams of weed. 10 grams. OF WEED. That's not even the worst part. The gunshot wounds enter through the back. He was legit shot unawares over a bit of weed. Where is the outrage? Where are the #AllLivesMatter activists?
Anyone?
I guess not. I guess it only matters if he's black. There will be no looting, no marches, no hashtags on twitter. They probably won't even mention it in global news.
Another thing you wont hear about is this:
But America is racist and all cops are evil, right? All the white cops are targeting all the black people, right? Justice for Sandra Bland! (Who was thought to be dead upon arriving to the jail however there is video footage to disprove that *cough*conspiracy theorists*cough*). Justice for <enter black person's name>!! (Even though they don't talk about the 10 grams of heroin and a gun found on his body afterwards)
Why don't people talk about the black on black or black on white violence? A white person kills a black person and it becomes an issue, because white people have oppressed blacks all these years so, what, blacks deserve revenge? Where is the logic? Numbers don't lie. Data doesn't lie. More violence is at the expense of white people. More violence is caused by blacks. That's not racist, that's data.
Not only this, but this year, 25% of people killed by cops are black. About 15% are Hispanics and a small percent is Asians (about 2%). The rest killed are white people.
This is not meant to discount the deaths of the people that have died at the hands of police. There are two sides to every story, but a death is a tragedy and cops these days are way out of line. However, weighing a black person's life as more important than a white person's is an outrage. Having marches and protests for a black person that died in an unjust way, while turning the other cheek when it happens to a white, is disgusting and racist. #BlackLivesMatter but #WhiteLivesDont, got it.
