Shooting to kill: Why police are trained to fire fatal shots
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- After the shooting death of a 12-year-old Cleveland boy at the hands of a police officer came the familiar question: Why did they have to kill him? Why didn't they shoot the gun out of his hand or shoot him in the leg? Police responded with the familiar refrain: We don't shoot to maim. If there is a threat that requires lethal force, we shoot to kill.

Defending the Black Lives Matter movement, President Barack Obama said Thursday the protests are giving voice to a problem happening only in African-American communities, adding, “We, as a society, particularly given our history, have to take this seriously.”

These are the promotions and sensentionalizations of:
1. Drugs, and drug selling.
2. Sociopathic music.
3. The "Money over everything" mentality, even at the expense of your own race and community.

The same News Media that DRIVES the endless pattern of mass shootings is owned by the same mega-conglomerates that push the bling bling "vulture culture" music out endlessly across the airwaves. Being bling bling isn't some inherent "natural" socio-type. They're preyed upon, and unfortunately they would seem to buy into it. Here in Tampa there are multiple rim RENTAL shops. I cant even make this up. It's been there forever.
The system IS bent on screwing over the most economically challenged. But we all get screwed by the same system, which we all need to recognize together, is what I've preached for over a decade.

Colors are just there to confuse us. Ask any colorblind person.

Right!
We're all individuals, unless we adhere to these racist social groupings. I dont merely scream "freedom", I scream true "individualality".

Ok. But let me clarify that it is not just the African American community who glorify and peddle drugs. They are not the only people who have a money over everything mentality. They are not the only people who have an order of silence when it comes to things that happen. They are not they because them is all of us. And when you stop scapegoating maybe you can help solve the issue.
Honestly you can see mirror images at all levels of every ethnic group but I still see the biggest division as an economic one.
