Where are they supposed to be? He didn't get shot for having a CCP, he got shot for not following orders after disclosing that he had a gun.

Cop-- "I told him not to reach for it."
Girl-- "You asked him to show you his ID."
Shot four times, reaching for his ID, upon request.
People should be advised how sensitive police are to where your hands are at all times.
When they pull you over and you are waiting for their approach you place both of them on the wheel in plain sight and you don't move them until told to do so. Even then you say , my wallet is in my pocket, in the console, in the glove compartment, and you move slowly to retrieve it. I mean slowly.
Something is the matter though when the general public who they are supposed to be "protecting" have to walk on eggs shells so they do not get a bullet in the brain. I certainly do not feel safer with these kind of trigger happy cops walking among us. What is the purpose of them again?

Moral of the story: If you are black and living in USA, then any LEO may kill you at any time. You are lucky the whites are letting you live in the US of A, better be grateful...
Cops Shoot White Guy in Fresno; Nobody Pays Attention
Somehow, the shooting of an unarmed white man by police isn’t drawing any attention from the mainstream media

Actually, he got shot because of the incompetence of the cop. He was told to get his ID out, he was doing that. The cop suddenly changed his mind and opened fire while the guy was complying with the order he'd been given.

It should matter because the media (and those who are behind it) have a track record of reporting an incident like "black man shot" but when its a white person it's "described as male aged X shot"
They have also been caught deliberately lightening up the skin tone of Hispanic people and describing them as "white" whenever they commit a crime.
Notice also how none of the media are mentioning the obviously Chinese name of the officer (officer Yanez) who shot this guy or showing his photo, they prefer to, talk about white on black shooting whilst ignoring white people shot by police officers.

Should not matter as to the colour, race or creed of the Police or victim. The officer in question is obviously an overzealous little piggy, only relevant colours i see are blue for the Police and Red for the blood poring out the poor fellow in question.

I agree that people should start recording these so called officers of the law committing criminal acts on members of the public.
Thing is through, if reaching for identification gets you shot, then reaching for a recording device will have a similar outcome i imagine.
