There was a study done recently that an African American is shot dead by a member of law enforcement or person otherwise protected by the government every 28 hours. That's almost one a day.
But a white guy can go into a movie theater, kill a dozen, and be taken alive.
Here's one about a black man shot dead by police in Target for carrying a toy rifle sold by the store. In Ohio, which is an open carry state.
