  1. We all know what happened to Michael Brown correct? He was shot by a white police officer in Ferguson and now there have been tons of riots and protests. Well, this man, Dylan Taylor, age 20, was shot and killed by a black police officer just 2 days later after Michael was shot. Sounds kind of familiar doesn't it? Michael's shooting has been all over the news, and yet I personally have not seen one news story about Dylan, and the same things happened to them. So, why is the black Michael getting all of the attention, when this white man had the same thing happen to him and it hasn't been covered anywhere I've seen? Is it really because one victim is black and one is white? Why is there no equality? Why is Michael getting all the attention? Why has this white man not even been mentioned once? If someone can tell me, go for it, but it simply is unfair. Why should we have to care about race and why can't we just talk about the facts? Why do we have to worry "oh no, he was black let's talk about it for 2 weeks and protest for justice" and not even mention "oh no, the same thing happened to this white man, why am I not hearing about it?" Please comment your thoughts.. I wanna know your opinions.. 
     
  2. That cop needs to suck my ass.
     
  3. Lol mars, how about your serious opinion..?
     
  4. Oh now that I read it, I was referring to the cop that killed Michael Brown, who shot the kid 7 times.
     
  5. This thread is about to bring a lot of drama
     
  6. I'm not American so i know nothing about it, but it sounds pretty unfair and like they're trying to act like they care for everyone by making a big deal out of the black dude getting shot. Please don't take me seriously as I don't know the full story ? just going off what was there.
     
  7. Police brutality is police brutality reguarless of race
     
  8. Yes, but why is Dylan's case not being talked about anywhere? Their cases are practically identical and yet a huge difference in attention
     
  9. This dylan taylor you say is not even real... Smh. I googled him and not 1 article popped. Donut feed the trolls guyss...
     
  10. Colour should make no difference.
     
  11. Um.. That exactly my point! He is no where to be found!!



    Don't believe me? There is your proof
     
  12. Studies show police kill 2 afican americans per week. Sad wen anyone looses their life unjustly but for blacks its an epidemic
     
  13. You look online for Michael brown, you can find him easily. You look online for Dylan Taylor, And you have to actually search for it not just click the first link that pops up. Same cases, totally different attention.. And why would that be? Because of race? If another cause tell me why.
     
  14. Well it says dylan was armed. Police can kill a person if their life is in danger.
     
  15. About a month back in New Jersey they're was a lot of gang violence in which gang members would call the cops to report that something happen and upon arrival the cops would be shot and killed . I saw NOTHING about that on the media . Which is why I understand where you are coming from
     
  16. Ok, why can't we have the straight facts? In another article it states he was wearing headphones, he just came out of 7 eleven and was unarmed
     
  17. So, racist or nah?
     
  18. and another idea is this whooole "Cops are Pigs" epidemic . No , police officers have a position to protect and serve for their community. Yes some of them make unreasonable choices. But mostly all if then protect people everyday.
     
  19. Um i saw that on the news and the guy had in headphones and didnt hear the cops giving him orders supposedly. But he was w other ppl and they did supposedly. The cops were searching for an armed man in the area. Maybe they didnt see his headphones. I also heard he had warrants. There r so many unknowns w this story including exactly how many times he was shot and how it was that his friends could comply to.orders and he didnt. So u should address all that too and not just a few details here and there.
     
  20. So, Op is racist or nah?
