Status: offline 		I am from Columbia SC. The Capitol of our state, about 150 miles from Charleston SC. All of our News media Outlets have been reporting this as "Cop Fatally Shoots Unarmed Man"

Now, The New York Times and the national news has been reporting this "White Cop Murders Unarmed Black Man"

WHOA WHAT THE DIFFERENCE.

Our local media reports the facts and only the facts. But the National medial is using the word MURDER and WHITE BLACK

I do not support the cop or for that matter anyone that kills and innocent unarmed man THE COP SHOULD GET WHAT'S COMING TO HIM!!

But isn't it Interesting, that these words are being used, These words are being used to sell papers and Stir up anger in both communities!

"White cop murders black man" is considered just a yankie euphimism for some black fella stealing more chain than he could swim with.
The punk is in custody charged with murder. I would say the s. carolina papers are the ones being less than candid.

Status: offline 		Naaa, it is a southern paper vs northern paper thing. Journalists in the south are often taught to meticulously avoid references to race in stories as that would be racist reporting. Papers in the northern states seem to insinuate race into as many stories as possible so as to portray as many victims as possible.

New York Times deserves a slap on the wrist for using a racist headline like, "White Cop Murders Unarmed Black Man".

I see in that video a real example of siege mentality at work. Adrenaline pumped over reaction. The officer should have communicated more clearly and so should the driver that was shot.

"Give me your license and registration!" instead of "Where is your license and registration?" was a set up for unexpected action on the part of the detained driver. It was a senseless shooting brought about by poor communication and an assumption of aggression.

It certainly looks like murder, however I have not seen any evidence that race had anything to do with it.
