Do you think there is a necessary issue between cops and blacks?

I’m conflicted here because a 12 year old black kid was playing with a real looking gun pointing it at people apparently. The cops shot him. Hearing this story, I could see how they could’ve mistaken it for a real fun.

After seeing the actual footage though, it happened weirdly. They looked like they immediately pulled up just a few feet from him and shot him with no warning.

Cops claim he was grabbing for his gun where I could see how that would cause them to shoot him as defense so I can’t judge but from the video it was just weird.

Same story when a black guy picked up an opened bebe gun in walmart and was dumb enough to walk around with it. A customer called 911 and the video showed them shooting at him with no warning at all. He didn’t even react, he was just looking at some products and up came cops and shot him.

Now people might bring up black on black crime, black cops killing whites, white cops killing whatever race, but the difference is…they had justice. They were seen in the wrong and arrested.

If anyone has a story where they weren’t, I would like to see it.

Or could it be the media just choosing the focus on cops killing blacks(when there could be other races facing same??) for some whatever reason to divide us?
