"they" is....
code for "the blacks"
because white retired cops got a good reason to get angry when a black cop shoots a black guy with a gun and the "they" get mad and mess some sh#t up in the hood
did I get it right?
edit: forgot to add that the retired white cop is "angry" with "some people" on this supertopo web site

DMT, with all due respect, aren't you overreacting a wee bit? . . . . . . .
We need to look at this issue with a little less emotion. In fact, we need to look at most issues with a LOT less emotion.

How'bout dem babies left to poach in hot cars. Ew. That's one of the saddest things there is.
Other offences and conflicts here are 'live by the sword, die by the sword' meaningles when you think about other injustices in this world.

Now they are rioting when a BLACK officer shoots an ARMED black suspect?
(At least one news story I read said the officer was black, even if the officer wasn't black, it was an armed suspect, so who cares?)
I would think that you would understand this, Jody, since you make the same argument all the time.
Just like you think that you need all kinds of weapons to protect yourself from the Gov't-----you don't specific that you are worried about Black Gov't, or White Gov't, or for that matter, Mexican heritage Gov't or Polish heritage Gov't-------YOU FEAR THEM ALL! It isn't an issue of the background of the people oppressing you, it is only an issue of being oppressed, right?
The blacks have the same perspective. It is not the identity of the cop----it is the issue of THE COP, and their position in society!

a black cop shoots a black guy with a gun and the "they" get mad and mess some sh#t up in the hood
Let’s get this a bit closer to reality, shall we?
A black cop shoots a black guy with a gun (the gun was stolen along with 500 rounds, the gun had an extended magazine loaded with 23 rounds at the time) and they got mad and destroyed a half dozen or more businesses in their own neighborhood. I wonder who owned some of those businesses. Yes “they” were blacks. Yes “they” trashed their own neighborhood. And now we find out that one of their basic assumptions about the incident was wrong. But the narrative is already set, so now it’s not just white cops who are bad, it’s all cops.
I’m tiring of these politically correct/ incorrect things we can and can’t say without being branded as racists or worse.

That's one of the saddest things there is.
Last month here in josh a couple, muthaFucing white crank hoe niggers went to prison for leaving their 3, 9yo and under children out on some dirt road in 29 without any shoes or water and telling the children that they didn't want them anymore.
and Jesus wept

It is a "cop problem" when a cop shoots an ARMED criminal with a lengthy arrest record?
Unless you are telling us that he KNEW what that guy's record was, it COULD NOT have entered into the decision to shoot him.
But this is one of the things that really upsets people, when those details are released----it is done, just as with your comment, for the specific purpose of justifying an execution. But in reality, when you see that done, it is invariably a sign that something is rotten, so they have to smear the person who was killed, instead of sticking to what happened.

Maybe the cop did. Knowing who's who in the community is what's known as Community Based Policing. It's the smart way to do things.

Because that's what cops are supposed to do, right? I mean, why arrest someone and go through all the bother of an indictment, trial, etc., when the cop should just be able to summarily execute suspects. Got it.

...justifying an execution...
Can we please wait until the facts are known before we start using inflammatory language? Good grief. This is what happened in Ferguson, causing civil unrest and ruining an officer's career.
Here's what we know so far. I'm sure the authorities know more.
The victim of the shooting had a semi-auto pistol with 20+ rounds loaded. This means he had an extended magazine which stuck out of the bottom of the grip about four inches. It doesn't matter who is white or black, if you carry that thing on the street and the cops see you you're are in peril of your life, and you know so.

You stupid ass! The guy was armed and the cops shot him and you call it an "execution"?
Oh, my mistake then. I thought simply being armed was protected by the 2nd Amendment.
