Think the point has become cloudy, White people not so much the issue i.e Dave and John up the road. White supremacy IS along with the perception/idea etc.

 

If we take the debate away from the individual finger pointing and look at the constructs of society fully a decent debate can happen on here.

Video footage showing the killing of a black teenager by a police officer was publicly released on Tuesday, on the same day that a white Chicago police officer was charged with murder in the shooting death.

The video, which last six minutes and 54 seconds, captures the final moments of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald’s life on 20 October 2014 as he is confronted by two armed police officers in the middle of a Chicago street. The teenager is seen striding down the center of a two-way street and appears to be carrying a knife when the dashboard camera of a police patrol vehicle captures the moment that two officers point handguns at him.

He turns briefly toward one of the officers and is then shot, the impact of the first bullet apparently spinning him around before he collapses on the street. A puff of smoke or dust can be seen rising from his body apparently as a bullet hits the ground. The camera continues to focus on his prone body as the officers, now out of frame, shoot him multiple times. An autopsy report from the Cook County medical examiner’s office showed that McDonald was shot 16 times.

Going to kick off

About the clothing? I'm 50/50 regarding the clothing. As in it's judgmental to address people by their clothes but at the same time if you live in an area where criminals all dress a certain way and you dress like them, if you get pulled over for a stop/search/questioning you shouldn't really be complaining too much about it. I suppose America is a different level of policing though.
