The suspect had a weapon in his backpack when police found him but he is still ALIVE and WELL! WHITE PRIVILEDGE INDEED!
When did we start caring so much about whether murders are taken alive or not? You got brothas shooting up whole ass neighborhoods, killing kids, pregnant women and old people and nobody is outraged when they get caught without being killed by the police. Folks who kill (black AND white) get arrested every day and are taken alive. The problem is we let these few cases in the media feeds us have us believe that only white folks don't get fucked up by the cops.

That video was just propaganda and stereotyping. It's best to go by facts, research, and statistics...not some guy on the internet.
The federal government doesn't even keep accurate data on police shootings, so it's difficult to determine. And even with research, the raw numbers would not take into account the circumstances or scenarios involving each shooting, because every police encounter is different. And you would have to analyze every one of the 1,000 or so to determine justification. You could say since black people are likely to have more encounters with police that they would be more like to be shot. But again, even that fact doesn't factor in the context that led to the shootings.
One of the more horrible police shootings there has been was a cop blowing away an unarmed white guy in a hotel hallway in Arizona. I don't know if you saw the video, but dude was crawling on the floor, crying and the cop shot him because he tried to pull up his shorts that were falling down. And the cop was not convicted either.
That's not to dismiss wrongful police shootings like the ones that have made national news in recent years. But like the guy said in the video, there are lot of cases where black folks who commit horrible crimes and even act fool with the police and don't get killed.
I understand what you are saying in reference to "Black on Black crime", but I still have to say "WHITE PRIVILEDGE when it comes to police killing people of color." Too many people of color are murdered by police officers everyday for less offenses. This man murdered four people and wounded many other and he is still alive. I am outraged with killing period but I am also outraged how white people are killing innocence black people. I don't endorse black on black crime either but I sure as hell despise white people killing us. People of color have to walk on eggshells when we are approached by white police officers. This is unacceptable. We are all human beings and we should all be treated with dignity and respect. We are not the boogey man. White people are not mistreated or killed by cops like people of color. The cops go out of their way not to kill a white person. I don't know what rock you are hiding under but the truth is the truth.When did we start caring so much about whether murders are taken alive or not?
