So you can't prove it was even said at all.
Not that anyone's surprised.
What's next, champ?
Why don't you discuss the thread?
Why don't you? You start what you can't finish, you can't make up your mind about if it's a black/white thing or a trans-gender thing, etc.
All you or tamaka want to talk about is how much black people scare the bejezuss out of you.
She, I can somewhat understand, because sighting of a black person is so rare where she lives.
If you can't deal with the reality in Alabama, move north and leave the rest of us alone. Me, I'm just fine living the state having the largest black population in the country. (East of Alabama.)
AND, I don't have to hear the blacks or whites bitching about all the Chinese or all the S Americans or all the Hindi or Madagascars or Pakistanis.
I feel sorry for your neighbors, all I can say. We in this region have been trying to kick asswipes like you out for decades. Eventually we'll succeed.
You don't belong here, and your kind is not welcome.
Edwird. . . . . .
Bama might have been a little more expansive in his OP comment but otherwise he was consistent with the history of a number of posts we have had on here, protesting as he did the antagonism on this Forum against white police shootings of unarmed and/or mentally ill blacks. You can find one example on Page Two of the Forum entitled: Former St. Louis officer acquitted in killing of black man You have been an occasional visitor to this Forum so you may not have been aware of the on going theme. If Bama had been more expansive in his remarks here I warrant you would have caught on quickly to his complaint about the white kid being shot and very few people engaging in violent protest in the streets one night while the protesting has been very heavy and confrontational for three days in St Louis the past weekend over the death of a black drug dealer, where the cop got off despite the fact there was strong evidence he planted a gun in the dead man's car.
In this case of the Georgia Tech student, three suicide notes were found in his dorm room and his parents confirmed he was mentally ill. I wonder what notification his parents gave to the police. I can see from the video that the police backed away and tried to engage the kid in talk. So, I can't complain too much about the cops actions here. I have said in other threads on the topic that police need training in awareness of mental illness and some protocol for defusing the confrontation without killing the person.

People with mental illnesses are more likely to be victims of police shootings
A 2015 report by the Treatment Advocacy Center found that someone with an untreated mental illness is 16 times more likely to be killed by police than other civilians approached or stopped by law enforcement. And according to a Washington Post analysis, mental illness plays a role in at least one-fourth of fatal police shootings.
If people were getting comprehensive care and support, police most likely would not need to get involved in many of the circumstances that end up in horrible tragedies. But very often in the US, that’s not happening.
