Other possible suspect.
Because you never see it, it doesn't happen. Right?
Could it be that you're dismissing a lot of things said towards white people simply because YOU think they're not racist?
Not saying that's the case, nor am I saying I've personally seen anything on here I'd consider truly racist towards white people myself... But I notice with a lot of people their general reaction when someone is being racist towards white people is to immediately dismiss it like, "Oh that's not racist." Meanwhile if a white person tells a black person something isn't racist you can guarantee they'll be very quickly, and very loudly, told that they have no right to say anything of the sort.
People questioning ANYTHING these days is immediately followed by a, "What is their skin color?" check. As if that alone makes anyone's opinion more or less credible. As such I have less and less sympathy over racism towards anyone, because more and more people pull the 'Racism!' card to silence those who might have genuine reason to question them.
Circus America is back on the TV!
Yes you are correct. But you said he was walking around with a, "sniper rifle". Being a sniper and having a weapon that classifies as a sniper rifle are two very different things. Just arguing technicalities here really lol. It likes like an AR-15, which isn't a sniper rifle.
prey upon the emotions and ignorance of angry people
whip them into a frenzy making them think they are under siege from some fictitious bogeyman
encourage their racist and militant attitudes
sit back and benefit

When all you do is WIN WIN WIN
damn man this makes me wanna go see the third Purge movie
I mean as a side note, almost every time there is a mass killing, before facts come out, people jump on the "white guy who loves the second amendment" people come out of the woodwork.
Like the Orlando club shooting. Cause you know, it was a gay club, so it has to be a southern baptist church member who did it. lol
Yes I do.
...Grand juries usually return indictments; the one exception is cases involving police shootings. But more than that, police shootings, and allegations of police misconduct in general, almost never make it in front of a grand jury. And officers rarely face legal consequences for allegations of misconduct.
As is the case with police shooting statistics, comprehensive numbers on accusations of police misconduct are hard to come by. There is no national reporting requirement for such accusations; in fact, many places have laws to purposefully keep the details of misconduct investigations out of the public eye.
..
Of the 71 arrests for murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, just 31 came when officers were on duty. That’s about four a year during the study period. As a reminder, the best-available evidence from the Killed By Police Facebook page points to about 1,000 deaths each year caused by officers acting in the line of duty.
...
Excessive force was by far the most common type of accusation, and 15 percent involved firearms. There were 127 excessive force incidents reported that resulted in fatalities, and the majority of these (71 percent) were shootings.
But, as was the case with Darren Wilson, most accusations of misconduct — combining all categories — did not result in criminal charges. Of the more than 8,300 misconduct accusations (involving almost 11,000 officers) in Packman’s database from April 2009 through the end of 2010, 3,238 resulted in legal action. The chart below outlines how often these charges resulted in convictions and incarcerations, compared with the rates for felony defendants in the general population (in the 75 largest U.S. counties) collected by the Bureau of Justice Statistics in 2006.

You can look at the charts there if it makes it easier.
