Surely you are aware of the demonstrations. It appears that white folks don't care about their kids getting killed by cops. So the national news doesn't pick up their stories. There seems to be no interest.
At least we can agree on something.

But should white folks care about their kids getting killed by cops for being stupid teens. Hell I was a stupid teen. I had a little brother (white) in the big brother program. He was a stupid teen 1t 17, and then like magic he totally grew up between 18 and 21. The guys in the plant have an expression: "young and dumb and full of cum". We all go through it, it shouldn't be a death sentence.

I agree with that, too. Whites, Asians, etc., like blacks until recently, are way too accepting of the double standards that literally let police get away with murder.

I've seen the SFPD in action. A lot of them are racist assholes.
RE: De Facto Civil War Between Police and the Public? - Eric the Green - 10-14-2016
Indeed. The SFPD have a lot of assholes. It seems it's a problem everywhere, even in SF. The SF police chief defended shooting innocent blacks and others. He was forced out because of it. Maybe it will improve. I wonder what the progressive mayor of NY has done yet.

So far, there hasn't been any police-related trouble to speak of in NYC under Buster mayor Bill de Blasio.

Wasn't Eric Garner and the guy who filmed his murder suffering under De Blazio?

Yes, and of course African Americans are far more likely to jailbirds. However that doesn't chase the basic facts that the [url= http://www.alternet.org/civil-liberties/11-shocking-facts-about-americas-militarized-police-forces] militarization of cop corps[/url] [why the fuck do cops need crap like flash-bangs?] The other fact is that dubious wars on choice and drugs are the chief fuel for this process.
There's a simple alchemy to all of this nonsense. At first, the pigs will come for African Americans and Muslims. Next come the Latinos and American Indians. Finally, they come for the Asians and Europeans.

But there was no violence in NYC after Garner was killed; protests, yes, but no violence.

Well, except for two cops murdered in revenge.

That seems to be how it could go.
