In fact, he said, officers involved in shootings have told him that they were actually relieved that the person they shot was white, not black.
“The second things is, I’ve had multiple officers tell me they were worried in the wake of a shooting because they shot a black person, and I’ve had multiple officers tell me that they were glad that the person they shot was white,” Mr. Klinger said. “Because then they knew they weren’t going to have to be subject to the racial harangue.”
The interviews, which he conducted for a book he’s planning to finish this year, run directly counter to the prevailing view pushed by social justice groups, politicians and others: that shooting victims such as 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson were victims at least in part of racial discrimination against blacks among cops.
“Police officers — at least the ones I interviewed — are very sensitive to the race issue, but not in the way this popular narrative is running, i.e., cops are out there trying to find young black men who don’t have guns so they can shoot them down like dogs in the street,” Mr. Klinger said. “That just isn’t anything I’ve found in any of the research that I’ve done.”

Shoot them or get shot by them!
Shooting them? Not off the table, but better think about it.
That still leaves "felony ace-whipping" on the table, though.
Don't worry about any "repercussions". The only witnesses were police.
Although supposedly trained in calculated observation, they didn't see a thing.
I would urge Mike Brown's supporters to find a better cause than a bully thug who reaped the rewards of a thug life.
There are PLENTY of example's of police essentially murdering blacks. A cop shooting a guy who tried to take his weapon is perfectly -- without blemish -- reasonable and should be the expected reaction.
I have read reports that state the complete opposite. Being most of mainstream media is owned by only 6 corporations, they keep scripting news reports for you to think and behave like they want you to.
They want the populace in a constant state of confusion and fear and dependent on them for their 'safety' and survival.
We don't need them folks. Or anything they say we need from them. We are more than capable of taking care of ourselves.
