But when a story of such tragedy leads with: "White cop kills black woman" then there is little wonder why we are so divided as a society. By reading the story there's a possibility this dude saw nothing more than a shadow; much less took the time to racial profile.
One of the privileges we have as white people is that we don't have to look at policemen as people who profile us based on race. So sometimes it is hard for us to understand why race plays such a big part in these type of situations. The fact is that police profile and lie about it.
Once you know that police profile people of your race then you are going to be justified in having concerns every time a police officer shoots a black person. It is like being in a relationship with a woman who has been proven to cheat on you. You are always going to be suspicious. The problem is that African Americans can't break up with the police.
And it doesn't even have to be a white police officer. Black cops are also involved in profiling people based on race.
