    In all my years I have never seen on the news or heard on the radio about a white guy getting killed by black cops. If you can come up with something, please let us know. If an alleged white criminal is shot and killed by cops, as far as I have seen, it has been by white cops in white communities under the most extreme circumstances (the guy is on a shooting spree or is holding someone hostage). But it is too often that we hear about cops shooting black men and boys because they ‘thought’ he had a weapon. The cops wouldn’t even shoot to wound or disarm these people; they killed them. In a lot of instances it was overkill, like in the 1999 case of the Amadou Diallo shooting in New York. They shot this innocent, unarmed young man 41 times in 8 seconds. Unfortunately, this is not a rare event in black communities. And in most cases, if a black man (not cop) kills a white person, he gets the death penalty, which is hardly ever the case if the situation is reversed. So do you still want to have that fit?
