Imagine what the Knockout Game would look like if it were whites seeking black victims. There would be documentaries, international calls for a change of the system, celebrities making Twitter blurbs.
24-hour CNN coverage, national outrage, etc. A small number of young stupid black males is no reason to condemn or hunt down the entire race. I know you don't mean that it does, but that's how black folks see it.

You can take a "for instance": Michael Brown coverage vs. Dillon Taylor? Do you even know who that is?
Michael Brown vs. Jose Luis Arambula? Know who he is?
I'll wager you don't.
You'd win that one, for sure. I had not heard of either one. Those are both disturbing stories. I honestly believe if Ferguson had a more representative police force that Michael Brown would be much less of a story.

Police profiling is not a "Hey, White People" type of thing.
It's a "Hey, Police."
They use "White" to replace "Society", which is one of the biggest problems I've had for a while. If they didn't start it off this way, I think we could actually acknowledge some things about our judicial system that may be adversely affecting minorities and whites alike.

It'd pose an interesting dilemma if the police officer were black, but it was going to be a story no matter what. A black youth was killed by a white police officer and people came out of the woodwork to exploit it.
