Peter Bowman, CGCS said: It's black on black shootings. Little, if any, new news worth reporting there. Way different than white on black. That's always newsworthy.
If the officer who shot the Ferrguson thug happened to be black we would likely not have heard about it.
I disagree there; any police shooting in Missouri gets attention. We had a white police officer in Springfield shoot a panhandler (who was white, of course Springfield is about 94-96% white, with most the others Asian by my guess with all the Chinese restaurants), that was running away, (Officer was going for taser so he said, and grabbed gun instead) and everybody came unglued. Just as they come unglued when local law enforcement gets an old unarmed armor vehicle from the military.
I agree that there is not enough attention paid on black on black crime, not an outrage from the black community or enough outrage from the politicians that can help change it.
