@sonhouse saidThat's an interesting question. Would the cop have bothered to use a gun if she was a white girl? Or at the very least, would the cop have felt it necessary to shoot four times?
@Mott-The-Hoople
Was that a black girl? Would the cop have killed the girl if she was white?
That's worth thinking about.
@shallow-blue saidMichael Jackson did.
People choose their profession. They do not choose their skin colour.
@sonhouse saidhell no he wouldnt have shot a white girl...are you crazy?

Was that a black girl? Would the cop have killed the girl if she was white?
Also, if he had actually cared about her life he could have shot her in the foot or some such, she would have stopped dead in her tracks screaming in agony. And alive.
@sonhouse saidAt first blush, she looked kinda-white. But she was likely mulatto.

So would the cop have time to evaluate her skin color as she charged him? No. He was shooting in self defense.
EDIT: to add,, sonhouse, ever try to shoot someone in the foot while they are running?
