To answer op, it is behavior like this attack on the metro which happens often for no reason. I hear about these unprovoked attacks by African American teens almost daily in DC and this is why they have trouble with police.[/quote]

yes

And let's see people continue to make excuses for this behavior.[/quote]

So let me get this straight, a black woman comments that SHE doesn't commit such crimes nor do her black sons nor her black nephews nor her black neighbors and subsequently she takes offense to the suggestion that such behavior is some kind of trademark for blacks altogether and objects to the insinuations people are making about blacks - you're saying she's making excuses?[/quote]

+1.  That's like saying if someone of your race is guilty of a crime, you are personally to blame and should be subject to harsher treatment.  Are you asked why your community, and specifically you, can't stop the next Dylan Klebold?  Do you expect the police shoot first, ask questions later because your son is a white male with loner tendencies and could be perpetrating a shooting if a vague threat is called in and he fits the profile?  Would it be "making excuses" to want the police to distinguish between someone that has committed a crime and someone that has not committed a crime when using deadly force?[/quote]

You know what the difference is, skin color. When Dylan Roof was arrested in South Carolina the police took him to Burger King because he said he was hungry. The police knew he had a gun because he had just open fired on a church full of people. When the police approached Tamir Rice they immediately opened fire, no questions or warnings. Not because Tamir had shot anyone, he hadn't, but because they were told he had a gun.  [/quote]
