well it's not so much about race but an abuse of power...they're killing white people too
...and now we see the result of thousands of deep thinkers in Ferguson who got exactly what they wanted: for police across the nation to know that defending themselves against a black man will be followed by a black mob, and vigilantes going after his family.
Of course faced with such a scenario, police are going to just stop protecting themselves against black people, right? Way to go, genius!
Congratulations for putting your entire race in danger and setting your people back by a thousand years.
