Oh yea, things were horrible way back when like when GW was pres. Now it's truly a nation united with blacks currently hunting cops and the true love for white folk we have going currently.YEP, Obama, the great uniter.

Yet another unarmed black man shot in the back

According to our resident FOX news viewers - deteriorating race relations are not based upon the weekly release of video recorded incidents like this one. Rather its due to Obama acknowledging these incidents.

If he would just shut his mouth maybe people would disregard unarmed people being shot in the back...and race relations would get better.

Black Lives don't matter to the right wing.... and you can believe the response to this post will be some deflective narrative about black-on-black killings in Chicago or something...Enter Hoops....

Well DUH!, That's a no brainer statement to make, of course things were worse 50 (more like 70) yrs ago but we're talking about NOW. Things were much better eight yrs ago pre O. Our society is a complete mess right now.

What you don't get is that ALL lives matter, at least the way I see it and I think that holds true for most people regardless. A kid getting shot necessarily or by accident is a horrible thing and the cop should be charged appropriately if warranted. I dare you to come up with anybody who would think it's ok to shoot ANYBODY in the back. And I'm not referring to that whole M Brown bullshit that was total lie about his hands up, shot him in te back anyway.

the great equalizing point is when they show cops being gunned down intentionally, gives whites and blacks together the warm and fuzzys HUH?

So rather than attack the liar who claimed relations today are the worse ever, you attack the person who exposes the lie. What does that say about you?
I'm 58 and that conversation was the summer after my first year in school. We were living in Japan and my Dad was getting transferred to Ft Bragg. I think it was 1965. Not anywhere close to 70 years ago.
At the last minute, he went to Vietnam and we moved to my Grandmother's in NY.

Indeed they do! But how many videos have you seen of unarmed white suspects being shot or otherwise killed ?

There's a common theme to the races of the cops and suspects in these homicides....and for some reason that's really, really hard for Republicans to acknowledge. I wonder why that is. And if the lives of those unarmed people matter to them - why do they ridicule protestors who speak to it?

I suspect the cable news channel they watch has something to do with it

Certainly looked uncalled for, see what happens. Meanwhile, let's see if there's any sniper or point blank cop killings to follow up. I'm sure you're all for that? Same as you accuse "fox news watchers" of similar dumbass accusations?

You can read my comments on previous such incidents where I favor the strongest enforcement possible against such offenders. And, yes, that's very much unlike the response we hear from the Black Lives matter critics .....usually something like "the victim had it coming"
