OK, SoB, your rant is racist, as you know. Personally, I’m low on empathy, no matter who gets shot; it’s usually too impersonal if I have no relation to the shooter or victim. If I work up some anger, it’s not because of a delicate and sincere feeling, it’s because it’s about a political issue, as it is with you. That said, the issue in any shooting is not ‘the system’, it’s not ‘white people’, or ‘black people’. It’s THAT shooter and THAT victim. Until you address the particulars of a given shooting, you’re just howling. Not a lot of detail has been released about this shooting; it doesn’t look good for Mr. Noor, but we’ll see. The officer who shot Philando Castile was probably in the wrong; maybe his release shows corruption. Each case is different and has to be addressed on its own merits. Shouting about ‘white this’ and ‘white that’ and ‘POC’ adds nothing but hate and anger to the discussion.
