I understand that people are singled out because of their color. I understand that racism exists. Here is my standpoint; if you are a thug regardless of color, sex, whatever and you wont comply to a police officers commands, don't complain when you get your ass thrown down or shot. I am a law abiding citizen for the most part, if a cop asks me to do something regardless of if I had any involvement...I am going to do it. Arrogance is no reason to be thrown to the ground or shot. The media has made everyone think that white cops are running around killing black people for no good reason. IT MAKES THEM MONEY, tons of it. I don't think that saying "all lives matter" misses the point at all. I think Sanders is crazy for saying "black lives matter" because all lives do matter.

Mass shootings is not even related to any of this. Yes I am a gun owner, I will always own guns. Yes, mass shootings are absolutely terrible. Yes, white people are statistically behind the gun more often than not. The thing with mass shootings is any "race" (quoted because scientifically there is only one race, the human one. I suppose culturally the word makes sense...but not really) is capable of mass violence. It happens every year in parts of the world. It has more to do with mental status than anything else. A mentally unstable person is one of the most dangerous things on Earth, that person will choose whatever tools available to accomplish their goal. (see Hitler, Stalin, the entire Cold War, terrorist groups everywhere) Would you rather be shot to death? Or stabbed to death with a screw driver? Yeah, neither, same here.

Tl;dr

There are bad people everywhere and there are good people everywhere.
