Its because he is black.

No, you are only causing this issue because he is white.

I have a feeling alot of african americans suffer from xenophobia.

I would love a real discussion on the matter.

I personally have no hate towards any person because of race, if i hate a person i hate the person.

However, i have watched this case for a long time, and listening to the REAL evidence early this morning, if there is any race issue at hand here, it is them ethnic groups hate towards the white man and not the other way around as it has been portrayed in the media for so long.

Of course everything said from the court could be total ***** and fabricated nonsense and the cop did just want to kill him because he was black.

I have a feeling you're probably an racist *******, just without the nuts to admit it to yourself.

Well.. when I heared on the radio how many people [they mainly looked at the black, non guilty] get killed in the US during police activities I was shocked first. Then I thought I need to check the german figures.
And so I did.

During the last 5 years 30 people have been killed with police weapons. During the 5 years before, it was 38 people. So during the last 10 years, 68 people have been killed. I believe it is way too many - especially after reading that 2/3 of the people were not actually criminals but suicidal people or mainiacs. The police claims to have shot to save their own lives or protect others in those cases.

Putting the german case aside - The US estimation is at 400 kills by policemen per year.

And honestly - this has nothing to do with race. I wonder why the police hast to kill so many people at all. What kind of country is it where it becomes necessary to behave like that as a policeman?

Oh boy, i see the white mobs gathering to rampage around doing millions worth of damage to people lively hoods for no other reason than to smash **** up. Thing is, people who riot like this should be punished hard, reguardless of ethnic group. However, if harsh punishment was to come to this group of people for rioting, it would be further portrayed as a racist attack towards them as an ethnic group rather than a mob.

Yea, My wording of Aferican americans was a bad choice indeed.

Americans are trigger happy, this is common world knowledge no?

That's a very polite way to say it.

If there is any race issue at hand here, it is them ethnic groups hate towards the white man and not the other way around as it has been portrayed in the media for so long

That's what you get for teaching one ethnicity that they are 'victims', that they deserve a special treatment, and that the others owe them. The whole guilt-train thing the US has going for so long is ridiculous.
Even in Germany it's not that severe, where you could imagine the events were somewhat more recent,

Why ? This whole case was based on "Its because he was black" being the reason why the cop killed him. I am only putting this title because its what has been screamed about for the past several months over all media channels.

If it offends you, by all means please report it.

What is revelent title ?

Blacks do no like verdict and insist its a race based offence, so they riot?

Blacks is a very crude word to use as people like youself clearly instantly think "Racist", but how else should i lable this group of people? The ethnic minority?

I personally think a modern intellgent black man would rather be called black or african american than an ethnic minority, i could be wrong, but i would rather be described by my skin colour and not be labled as something lower. Oh wait im already labled as white, and am called many white names, but you do not hear me pulling the "Racist" card out of my arse every time now do you.

EDIT: Please also feel free to talk about any aspect of this case, Be it the evidence, all things leading to the case, or the riots over the past 24h.

I wonder who is going to pick up the bill. Oh wait, the tax paying american, what are youre views on this rioting?



I personally like how him being shot 6 times as seen by multipul eye witness's, yet all were proven total bullcrap.
