Short answer: cause they'd end up in prison if they did.

It isn't news unless it is a white guy shooting a black guy.

I am sure it has happened in other countries. If you mean the US, probably statistics. Low number of black cops versus the higher number of white cops. Also, black cops are more likely to cover beats that are black dominate because the higher the black population, the more likely there will be black cops coming from said districts. And in that case, a black cop is more likely to shoot an unarmed black suspect than a white suspect.


So, it's really a numbers game.

They do?

It's just less common due to various demographics reasons, and also less likely to be covered when it occurs because of community factors.

A trip to google would debase you of the notion it never occurs pretty damn quickly.

There's a black cop on trial for shooting an unarmed white dude in my community right now.

...note the phrase "on trial" there.

It doesn't make the national news because black cops who shoot white people get put on trial for murder without anybody *having* to have nationwide protests in order to get justice.

Nice anecdote.

You do know that trials don't happen immediately? The shooting happened like 4 days ago, of course there isn't a trial. The investigation would have barely gotten started.

The word you were looking for was "disabuse".

This will end well.

Is this supposed to be a rhetorical question, or are you actually asking this as a genuine question? Or is it just plain old trolling?

Oh they do. It just doesn't lead to riots.
Frankly no one curr.
And this is kind of right, because there is no institutional racism in any police force that encourages killing whitey. If a black cop killed a casper then it's probably because he had to, or felt like he had to, because if he did it unlawfully, he would 100% go to prison for a very long time. If a casper cop killed a black guy, there should be so significant examination as to why he did it, because there is a very real possibility that the reason is "Because I don't like niggers, and I think I can get away with it".
