White Police and Black Teen #3

I tried looking on my Facebook for something to write but nothing interesting was there to me. Checking out the links in the class blog I came across the Aljazeera link and found the article of the police shooting in St. Louis. What caught me off guard was the title of the article "Protests erupt in St. Louis after white policeman shots black teenager." What?!? They are protesting because a white policeman shot at a black teenage!! Well what would happen if it was a black police man shooting at a white teenager? St. Louis is also where the Michael Brown case happened similar to this one, (white cop, black kid) that also caused and uproar and even riots that called in for the National Guard. It is fallacious to think its okay to protest because of the race of the victim involved. The article says that police vehicles were attacked and even a broke a window. However trying to see the other side of the coin, there is the critical thinking. Is there segregation still going on in Missouri? Are blacks always a target of criminal activity? Although I am not familiar with Missouri nor have I ever been there its difficult to know what kind of contentions or thoughts they may have between each other. Then again their actions show who they are. If they don't want to always be the victim of the crime stop it. It dawned on me in writing this, if they don't want to cry foul and protest then don't go about wrecking havoc on police cars or in the city. To me its no wonder they are victims because their actions speak for themselves. This is fallacious thinking that because something happened to a black person that they (blacks) should go out and do something to a white person (police).
