    Damn, the dude is a reporter, you would think he would have known to bring his own cameraman.

    I say the same thing when black people get shot.

    Please don't be a white shooter. This Country is spiraling out of control

    I say the same thing whether it's a black or white person being shot. Please don't be a dog. It never is, which means I'm better than all of you.

    How do we go about fixing them, though? I'm only 25 but this is the worst I've ever seen them.

    I think we have hit a new low in shootings and can expect more first person perspectives in future shootings. That's really the only way to get the desired reaction from people anymore.

    hint. Poor white and black people have more in common than rich and poor people of the same color.

    I think it made people more sensitive to perceived instances of racism. Everything's racist now! Don't think its Obama, probably more social media and slactivism is to blame.

    I don't know about that... I think that with the advent of social media and the
    24 hour news cycle that we are seeing what was already happening A LOT more.

    This is definitely true. People freak out about crime in the suburb they live in because we hear about it more, but most of this stuff has been happening for decades. Social media has made us hear about most instances of crime in our communities

    Is it really happening more or are you just paying attention more now?

    Racism has been pretty prevalent throughout the ages, and Ive been hearing that the country is going to shit since I was a kid and my dad would mutter that when he got pissed at something.

    What happened in this case? It seems that the reporter thought he got fired because of the racist crackaz after an environment where racism is to blame for everything and wants revenge now. Probably pumped up from all the shit the past few years with black lives matters and all that shit.

    I agree, you hear about shit way more these days and its easy to get enraged one way or another but its harder to get away with stuff. 15 years ago it seems the instance or hate crimes were often more severe but less documented.

    Yeah I'm not gonna watch that... I've seen my share of messed up shit on the Internet, I already know it would disturb me to watch it.

    How sad is it that people feel justified in taking these kinds of actions?

    It is truly horrible, however I believe that the victims are in peace, while the suspect surely will face the consequences for his life choices.
