OK, thanks. I'll check it out later on my PC.

My post was about another bizarre shooting of an unarmed innocent black man by a white cop.

The guy deserved to be shot ..... he was deliberately being black and his efforts to explain what was going on were an obvious attempt to deflect from the fact that the guy he was looking after had an offensive toy in his possession. Police and the public in the US will never be safe until dangerous toys in the hands of people with learning difficulties are outlawed.

How was the policeman who shot this man to know that the toy truck wasn't a cunningly disguised bomb or gun? ... none of us have ever been in that position so we have no right to judge. Hundreds of Americans are killed by guns and bombs disguised as toy trucks every year .... especially in the hands of people lying on the ground with their hands in the air begging not to be shot .... police in the US are too clever and too long in the tooth to fall for the old 'I haven't done anything, I've got both my hands in the air, please don't shoot me' ploy.

To be serious ..... No ****ing wonder the backlash has started against police in the US ....... they may not be racist, but if not they obviously have a high level of stupid and the affect on the black population of the country appears to be the same. I'm not condoning any violence against police in the US ... but when you see stuff like this how can you blame black folk for thinking the police don't give a toss about them.

A racially polarised society and a massive proliferation of guns. What could go wrong? :rolleyes:

Not trying to be a smarty pants, Ronnie, but if you have a link that isn't 'clickable' copy and paste it into your address bar.

There has to be something badly wrong when routine car stops begin with weapons drawn, and end in 'suspects' being shot this often
