Was the black man a cop?
No?
That's why there are no riots.

Right. It's never been the thing to protest some random violent criminal. What's the point of that? Are you going to make the next criminal think twice?
"Gee, I'm a deranged multi-murderer at heart, but if I kill a family and steal money, somone might protest me. So I will spare them."
Sure, that's gonna work!

"LOOK! we don't riot when one of you kills us!"
If we could collectively stop this shit, that'd be just swell.

Actually, if you take a look at the "race" of cops charged in Baltimore, you might not be saying this. You might actually realize that it is an issue of governance and not of some deranged individual.
And if you're really thinking, you might realize that the police state can come down on anyone -- not just black people. Then, if you are against a militarized police state, you will smartly support the movement. If you are for a militarized police state, you'll support ... the police! :D

I'm not sure what you think I meant, I simply get tired of reading people going, "LOOK! LOOK! SEE! THE NIG-I MENAA BLACK GUY RAPED AND KILLED A WHITE BABY AND WE DIDN'T RIOT! WE MUST BE BETTER!"

Someone delivered $40,000 in cash to the home and authorities believed the family and their housekeeper were murdered shortly thereafter.
