The shooting took place hours after a wave of weekend Black Lives Matter protests rolled across the nation in response to last week's deadly police shootings of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota. Hundreds of people were arrested in the protests.

Why is it always newsworthy when a white cop shoots a black guy, but it's never newsworthy when a white guy is killed by either color cop? It's really strange seeing as how they more white people are shot and killed by cops than black people.

When I was a kid, we used to take our BB rifles on our stingray bikes and ride through the streets to the fields to play. Cops would just wave at us as we passed. We even fired 410 shotguns in the fields back in grammar school. No one cared.
The police motto used to be to serve and protect. I think they are more concerned about protecting themselves now
