I posted this in another thread, but clearly it needs to be restated. More whites are killed by cops than blacks are.

I can't believe we've come to the point where we(or the OP anyways) are DISAPPOINTED that the guy WASN'T killed.
More Whites are shot in sheer number but percentage-wise, it's more Blacks. White is about 72% of the country and Black is about 13% of the country. Yet the numbers of Blacks shot is more than half the amount of Whites shot by the police at White-494 to
Black-258.
The incident began when Deputy D.R. Farmer was patrolling in the area of Old Creedmoor Road and Raytown Road. A motorist flagged him down and said a man was pointing a shotgun at passing motorists
Ray pulled out a handgun after the deputy wrestled the shotgun from him. Ray fired a shot from the handgun during the altercation. The round did not strike anyone

Went out of their way to keep this suspect alive
White privilege. If he had been black or brown we wouldn't be having this discussion.

It's fun to mock but as a white guy I can see their point.
Too bad so few have empathy in this world.......

Ciara Meyer, an unarmed 12-year-old white female, was shot on Jan. 11, 2016, in an apartment in Penn Township, Pa. A Pennsylvania constable was serving Meyer's father with an eviction notice. Meyer's father pointed a rifle at the constable, who opened fire. The bullet traveled through the father's arm, striking Ciara.

You can't see the difference in the way blacks are treated by cops as opposed to whites?

It is about how police went out of their way to not kill this man but the other two men weren't afford the same options.

Cellphone video shows police officers shooting an unarmed 19-year-old Fresno man lying on the ground at a gas station last month.
The video, obtained by the Fresno Bee, shows Dylan Noble lying on the ground on June 25 as two officers with their guns drawn stand feet away from him. As officers yell, “Keep your hands up,” and other commands, one shot is fired. Seconds later, a third officer approaches the pair, and another shot rings out. At one point during the video, Noble can be seen raising his arm and saying, “I’ve been shot.”
The shooting has sparked an online petition demanding that the Fresno Police Department release body camera footage of the incident. The shooting comes amid national outrage over the number of shootings by police involving black men. In this case, Noble was white.
Per your source that is incorrect.
