If the Police in Berkley continue to not do much, african americans will draw a comparison. [View all]

And rightfully so.

The pictures and videos I'm seeing, I'm asking myself, if these were african americans rioting and not little white men like me, what would the media reaction and police reaction be? Well it would look different than what we're seeing right now, and if it keeps happening it will be impossible to not draw a striking comparison.

Just my opinion
