    Why does it matter that the guy was black?

    How about something like:

    Hotel guards kill father of two, holding him down while he cries for help.

      “White folks don’t get in disturbances in Milwaukee?” Sharpton said during the funeral. “Do y’all throw white folks to the ground and put your knee on their neck? The sentence for disturbance is death?”

      This is the reason.

      Probably because it might have been a hate crime and might have done it for hate reasons, and maybe they will do it again unless they are held accountable. That would be my guess.

        Shouldn’t they be held accountable for killing a human?

        I thought murder was bad, as a general rule.

          Murder once is bad, yeah, of course. You know what’s worse than one murder? Multiple murders, because the person wasn’t stopped.

              let’s pretend statistics don’t exist because the reality of their implications makes me uncomfortable.

            Agreed.

            Have the two men in this instance killed before? I didn’t get that from the article.

              Cops keep murdering people, the same people too, the same evil fucks killing under the same pretenses. There’s a fucking tendency to kill certain people, wake up
