problem is, he wasn't trying not to kill him either.
Just very heavy handed in detaining him.
Happens all the time in America. Where the racism flows from, the old saying by many black Americans that their prison systems are filled with people of colour on minor offences.
It's the whole system, it's a far deeper discussion than just that. It's not black or white (no pun intended) but at the end of the day when things like this happen, far too often , there is a real underlying issue.
That's why English crying about racism 90% of the time are cry arsing. We don't know real racism here , bar someone slinging a slur in a direction. This is real racism, when a crime commited by a white person would have a different reaction based on their skin colour. Decades worth, this isn't a one off occasion, decades and it still happens.
Yet when someone does anything about it , racism kicks right back in. Football player takes a knee, it's twisted into how unpatriotic it is , city riots and it's an over reaction.
