Do you expect national news outlets to publish stories on every homicide committed in America?

Only when its justifiable homicide involving a White police officer and a black suspect.

I don't know if you've noticed, but a good deal of these killings involving cops are not justifiable. A good many are, but a good many are not.

Most of them are........very damn few...aren't!

"Justifiable." Like Eric Garner.

If you are referring to the career criminal Eric Garner, who refused to obey lawful commands by police, and was informed of his arrest, resisted and was subsequently subdued ? Yep, as justifiable as any arrest can be. ;)

Anyone who suggests otherwise...is full of crap.

71 year old Norman Hall was alone in his home in Radcliff, Kentucky when 2 suspects broke into his home and killed him. Mr. Hall was a disabled senior citizen.

He was an unarmed man killed by suspects. Here's the victim:

Will this story see the light of day, I could post many, many similar stories. Are we only supposed to see race when it involves police officers?

Alleged killer, innocent until proven otherwise is not something that only applies to police officers but to everybody. The odds of them being found guilty are very good or they may just take a plea bargain.

But his death would only be racially motivated if you are claiming (without proof I am sure) that they would have not killed the man if he had been black. These are criminals, not criminals who did something horrendous during a burglary just because the person who lived in that house was white. If he had been black/latino or asian he would most likely have been just as dead as he is now.

So no, unless you are going to say that only black commit murders during burglaries, this is not something that has to do with race.

Well done Pete, you've managed to dismiss the significance of this man's life being taken unnaturally, as well as get in your references to those dreaded police officers who are patrolling the streets in death squads looking for black choir boys to assassinate.

If I decide to rob you because you're white, and I think white people have money, then I decide to kill you (hypothetical), then yes, your race played a role in this event.

And since I can see that you're still in denial about police targeting black suspects unfairly, have a look at this:

I dismissed nothing. Stating that there is no evidence that he was killed due to his race says nothing about the tragedy the man's loved ones are now in.
