Yes, whites can also be victims of unjust shootings, including minorities. I am against them, very much. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, said one well-known black man. Blacks today are victims much more often of unjust shootings. Cops seem to get away with these shootings, no matter who or what color the victim is. I think we could disarm cops when we disarm a lot more of the people. Meanwhile, when cops shoot people unfairly they should be punished, not let off the hook. We would have a lot fewer riots in that case; think about it.

Why aren't we seeing them ( the cop shootings of white people) on liberal news channels, liberal mass media outlets? Don't liberals care about white people who are shot by cops? You say they/you do but I'm not seeing it? Why didn't we see black people going crazy about the white woman that was shot dead by a cop? You're one sided on guns, race, ideology and so forth. You'll make a few concessions as a nice gesture at the times or as a means to regain/preserve some integrity that you lost or stand to lose if you don't concede some and as a means to show some honesty. Hint: We ain't getting ugly yet. I'm ahead of the pack. By chance, was doing this kind of stuff, posting liberal information like you do here, part of job during the non profit years? I'm asking because most people aren't so one sided. You remind me of the political robots (scripted sales people)/ no minds that I see on news channels.

I don't know how many news channels are liberal; most are owned by giant corporations and care only about commerce. They have that in common with Republican politicians. I can't speak for what they are covering or why, but I have seen a few stories, yes. Remember that the fact remains that it's young blacks that are unfairly getting shot down most often. It's up to you to recognize that this is a threat to your rights. Remember again what a certain black man said: injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. That's why that man championed many causes that white and asian people were interested in too.

I am a liberal and always have been, so it should be no surprise that I post liberal views, and that's all there is to it. I am informed and concerned, and that's all it takes to be a liberal.

The CBS channel where I live is owned by Sinclair (or as I call it, "Stinking Liar") Broadcasting. Its editorial positions have come to approach fascism as dictated by ownership. I avoid its news broadcasts, some of which have ownership-mandated agitprop such as Full Measure  (a clearly right-wing program as an answer to ABC, CBS, and NBC public-affairs programs that Sinclair ownership deems 'too liberal'. Sinclair/Stinking Liar Broadcasting offers a nightly "Terrorism Alert Desk" with Boris Epshteyn, basically a Two Minutes Hate session often against Islam. (Right-wing terrorism involving the KKK and neo-Nazis has killed more Americans since September 11, but don't let thatget in the way of propaganda against 'foreigners').

I am tempted to put up an antenna so that I could get such CBS programming as I get off the air instead of through that TV station.

I'd say people associated with Islamic terrorist groups have claimed more American lives within the US since 9/11 than people associated with white supremacy groups.

What stats can you quote on that?
