I assume you are suggesting his first instinct is to shoot because the guy is black?
We could argue until the cows come home on whether that is "right" or not and each side would have very strong points.
I am more concerned with WHY the media does not take this example instead of the Mike Brown one? Doesn't that seem ridiculous to you?
Read the end of my last post. Thatll explain why the media focuses on this. There was more than enough for Wilson to be indicted. Nevermind all the lawyers chiming in across the nation poking holes in the investigation.
Like why wasnt Wilson's guns dusted for Brown's print? Why did Wilson wash Brown's blood off his hands that he said was on them?
The National Bar Association called BS on the lack of indictment...and so are many legal professionals ...so there's why the media is focused on this. They recognize the civilian populations disgust with all this. And they will cover the hot story.
PS - And regarding the Florida cop, I couldn't see him firing upon a white woman or asian man who exited their vehicle with their hands up and being told there's a kid in the car. Nor would I expect him to assume an inhaler was a gun when encountering those folks. We can simply say its a poorly trained officer who's trigger happy, but I do believe he profiled the father.

Well you got me curious, so I went and looked at my posting history, and what do I find? This gem:

Aaaaaaand the grand finale, the last post in that thread by Gaylan:
Talk about IRONY. Where's the protest Gaylan.
Back on point AAAgent - this forum is about helping men. That is exactly what I aim to do. Information is power. Unplugging from the political matrix is part of that.
Idiotic to compare my response to that case, to my response to the Mike Brown case.
That case has VERIFIABLE VIDEO EVIDENCE OF VERBAL AND PHYSICAL ASSAULT UPON AN OFFICER.
Officer Wilson has NONE of that. All he has is a shaky and shady investigation, along with a version of events thats been derided by law professional all across the nation. Then there are the many witnesses that poke holes in his story.
So how can you compare the Wilson/Brown story, to the video evidence of a drunk outright attacking an officer? Find me smoking gun evidence of Brown verbally and physically provoking Wilson, and Ill give a similar response as I did in that other thread.
Except no such video exists, and like I said before, many witnesses poke a helluva lot of holes into Wilson's version of events. There should have at least been an indictment. When in doubt, you let the justice system do what its supposed to do. You dont take the chance that a criminal doesnt even stand trial.
The witness testimonies met the probable cause bar in my book. Thats a much lower burden of proof than the standard "beyond a reasonable doubt" needed for a trial conviction.
