There have been no facts presented in this case that prove one way or another that this wasn't simply an idiot with a badge who murdered an innocent man and tried to cover his ass. If those facts are presented and proven, then by all means protest. Until that happens (or doesn't) it's mob rules mentality no matter how you slice it. Right now its just a bad thing that happened to an innocent man. Take the color out of it guys so you can see more clearly.
Jesus, you're very very slow on the uptake here, Gunnar.
I haven't supposed anywhere that this is a race crime. In fact, I've stated that it may not be at all, in my very first post in this thread.
Whether there is a racial component to this presently inexplicable murder is a question that will be asked and investigated. It may turn out that Slager is one of those cops who thinks black people are dispensable. It may turn out that he has no such thoughts in regards to blacks and instead is a power/control freak who loses his shit whenever anybody disobeyed his orders and who lost it all the way with Walter Scott. Or, maybe Slager's training (or lack thereof) lead him to believe that he should fire at people who ran when pulled over by police. Those are all questions that bear asking, along with many others. IMO.
The only one who can't see clearly, to the point of being actively or incidentally deceptive, is you Gunnar.
