    I think its a joke about how if the shooter was white, they’d have taken him alive. The shooter is from a town that’s 80% white, so…

          You’re right, it wasn’t a joke, but the sentiment is correct.

            The sentiment that you are spreading lies?

              The mod thought I was being racist, but it’s the opposite. If the the shooter is a person of color, they are 99% killed by racist cops. If the shooter is white, it’s 50/50. I’m not joking, it’s the way it seems. I’d love for a study to be done on it. Do you know of one?

                I understand what you’re saying. But it is inappropriate to make that joke. I think we all knew the person was gonna be a white dude. Trying to use this as a platform for racism is really not focusing on what the bigger problem is, in this particular case.

                  It wasn’t a joke. The mod removed it, so whatever. It’s fine.I understand why they did.

                    Maybe you should ban all the mods from the communities you mismanage over at sh.itdont.work

      If the shooter was not white it would be in every headline.

      This is what I meant, but I wasn’t joking. I wonder if there’s been studies on it.
