In reply to the discussion: Black Teen Killed for Carrying Skittles [View all]Number23
(24,544 posts)as having complained several times about the overly aggressive nature of the shooter; when it is well documented that the 911 operator specifically told the shooter to stand down and someone still screams that they need more "data" in order to determine if this is a case of "walking while black," then it's obvious what's going on. Particularly when requests for data follow the tossing of little gems about "rapists" as if that has any bearing on the situation at hand.
Reminds me of a now tombstoned poster who absolutely REFUSED to accept that blacks are prosecuted more heavily and with greater prison sentences for crimes that white people are actually more likely to commit. When submitted with countless studies and even Congressional testimony that supported the statement, he kept asking for "more data." It was apparent to everyone reading that thread exactly what was going on, just as it is apparent to everyone reading this thread what is going on here.
