Gil Collar, an 18-year-old University of South Alabama student, was shot and killed by a campus police officer.

The student was under the influence of LSD and exhibiting erratic behavior around the campus police station.

A security camera mounted on the campus police station at the university and recorded most of the entire incident including the
shooting. (H/T ReadyChimp)

Collar was seen acting “aggressively” in the short video, first walking up to the campus police station, pounding on the window and then walking away from it. He then walked back up to the station and again retreated.

At that point, black police officer Trevis Austin stepped outside from the station with his gun drawn and pointed at Collar, who reportedly had his “arms outstretched and palms open,” according to Austin.

The two then moved around the building, with Collar kneeling at one point and then standing back up and walking toward the officer. The officer had his firearm trained on the white student as he approached the officer.

They both moved into the yard and though the camera shot from that angle was partially blocked, it showed Collar dropping to the ground after having been shot once in the chest.

The entire incident played out within thirty seconds after Austin came out of the building.

Jere Beasley, attorney for the Collar family, said about the shooting, “I can tell you without reservation nothing we saw in the videotape justified the use of deadly force in this case.”
Sound familiar? The point is that while we may never know if deadly force was justified – where is Al Sharpton on this one? (H/T: Conservative Tribune)

This was a black cop shooting an unarmed white teenager. Why aren’t predominantly white neighborhoods being set on fire right now? Why aren’t whites looting, rioting and flipping over cars?

This incident, which eerily parallels in many ways that of the Mike Brown shooting, clearly and unequivocally shows that race-baiters like Sharpton, Holder and even Obama himself know exactly what they’re doing when it comes to pushing racial tensions over the edge.

they are not rioting in LA either, where a black cop shot and killed a black unarmed homeless guy either...

no Money in it!

Is the video published?

are you seriously asking that question?

wow

is it more common for black cops to shoot white kids than black kids during interactions?

is there a history of white kids deaths being undervalued, disregarded and/or even legally protected in this country?

are you serious?

why is this sharpton or jacksons obligation? Arent there going to be plenty of other (white) professionals jumping all over this to ensure the cop is held accountable and a proper investigation is done for the deceased family to receive justice?

is there NOONE except Sharpton or Jackson that people can use to try to complain about black people speaking up at perceived RACIAL injustice?

riots are the exception and not the rule, regardless of race

and the country has a history which makes it NECESSARY to keep a close eye out for racial injustice , I don't really care who is drawing attention to it so long as it isn't left to return to what it once was because people look the other way or say nothing,,,,

i get it... it wouldn't have been racially motivated even if it was racially motivated...


only racial when it is done by whites.... nice thinking there...

it would have been racially movitvated if there was some PRECEDENCE of racial motivation , either within that community, that police force, or that officers background

instead of finding such a motivation however, they determined the boy was on a HIGHLY experimental hallucinegenic drug,,, 25-I , and was daring the officer after already having tried to someones CAR WINDOW,,,,


I dont agree with lethal force, but I do see some important differences that make it not the same as shooting a kid in a fist fight, or after a fist fight is over, or breaking their spine during a ride from one location to another,,,,

fact: more white people die at the hands of police than blacks.

doesnt make the news because it doesnt further the "black lives matter" agenda..
why was it such a huge deal with mike brown? he robbed a grocery store and witnesses all claimed that brown did in fact attack the cop. but the media hyped it up and hyped it up with the whole black lives matter BS. its all part of the agenda to create race wars and divide the country.

i blame obama...

hes definitely involved. doesnt make a peep if a white guy gets killed by police. black guy gets killed here comes an obombya press conference. the federal government is so out of hand and they know people are getting fed up. thats why they want to take our focus off of them and turn it on each other. the more divided we are, the easier it will be for them when the takeover begins.

the significant word is DISPROPORTIONATE,,, there are 9 times as many white people here as black people, so the raw number being higher means very little,,,

well, whites who riot( a very minor subgroup of the whole) seem to rile up more often over sporting events than police killings,,, have to ask them why,,,lol

lol, can't really argue with that... but, it seems when they hold a Superbowl parade, the blacks seem to kill each other more than anything else at the parades...

i call BS on that... in Houston, i'm a minority...

Yes...African Americans make up abt 13% of our country's population.....but:

"" Today blacks are about 13 percent of the
population and continue to be responsible for
an inordinate amount of crime. Between 1976
and 2005 blacks committed more than half of
all murders in the United States. The black
arrest rate for most offenses — including
robbery, aggravated assault and property
crimes — is still typically two to three times
their representation in the population. Blacks
as a group are also overrepresented among
persons arrested for so-called white-collar
crimes such as counterfeiting, fraud and
embezzlement. And blaming this decades-
long, well-documented trend on racist cops,
prosecutors, judges, sentencing guidelines and
drug laws doesn’t cut it as a plausible
explanation.
“Even allowing for the existence of
discrimination in the criminal justice system,
the higher rates of crime among black
Americans cannot be denied,” wrote James Q.
Wilson and Richard Herrnstein in their classic
1985 study, “Crime and Human Nature.”
“Every study of crime using official data shows
blacks to be overrepresented among persons
arrested, convicted, and imprisoned for street
crimes.” This was true decades before the
authors put it to paper, and it remains the
case decades later.
“The overrepresentation of blacks among
arrested persons persists throughout the
criminal justice system,” wrote Wilson and
Herrnstein. “Though prosecutors and judges
may well make discriminatory judgments, such
decisions do not account for more than a
small fraction of the overrepresentation of
blacks in prison.” Yet liberal policy makers
and their allies in the press and the academy
consistently downplay the empirical data on
black crime rates, when they bother to discuss
them at all. Stories about the racial makeup of
prisons are commonplace; stories about the
excessive amount of black criminality are
much harder to come by.
“High rates of black violence in the late
twentieth century are a matter of historical
fact, not bigoted imagination,” wrote Mr.
Stuntz. “The trends reached their peak not in
the land of Jim Crow but in the more civilized
North, and not in the age of segregation but in
the decades that saw the rise of civil rights for
African Americans — and of African American
control of city governments.” The left wants to
blame these outcomes on racial animus and
“the system,” but blacks have long been part
of running that system. Black crime and
incarceration rates spiked in the 1970s and
’80s in cities such as Baltimore, Cleveland,
Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles
and Washington under black mayors and black
police chiefs. Some of the most violent cities
in the United States today are run by blacks.
Black people are not shooting each other at
these alarming rates in Chicago and other
urban areas because of our gun laws or our
drug laws or a criminal justice system that
has it in for them.
The problem is primarily
cultural — self-destructive behaviors and
attitudes all too common among the black
underclass. The problem is black criminal
behavior, which is one manifestation of a black
pathology that ultimately stems from the
breakdown of the black family. Liberals want
to talk about what others should do for blacks
instead of what blacks should do for
themselves. But if we don’t acknowledge the
cultural barriers to black progress, how can we
address them? How can you even begin to fix
something that almost no one wants to talk
about honestly?

Lets narrow it down even further for, say, Baltimore, since its been in the news lately....in terms of a strong family unit...

"" A new report released by
the Family Research Council’s Marriage and
Religion Research Institute (MARRI) says
that only 16 percent of 15- to 17-year-old
teens in Baltimore have been raised in an
intact, married family.
The report, released Wednesday and
compiled in light of the recent Baltimore
riots, cites Census Bureau statistics
showing that, in terms of family units,
Baltimore is “one of the five least intact
counties of America,” along with Cuyahoga,
Ohio; the Bronx, N.Y.; the District of
Columbia; and Shelby County, Tenn.
The report cites studies indicating that
children who grow up in intact, married
families are least likely to experience
poverty during their youth, because married
families generally earn higher incomes than
stepfamilies, cohabiting families, divorced
families, separated families, and single-
parent families.
The report says children raised in intact,
married families tend to have better
educational attainment and achievement
than those from non-intact families. They
are more likely to achieve higher education
after graduating from high school than
those from other family structures.""

or not,,,,
(and this is consistent across countries, not just in the US)

starting from the 1970s, studies in the US pointed more and more at the link between unemployment, poverty and crime. After that other connections with income level, time spent at school, quality of neighborhood and education were revealed as well. Fresh research from the UK even indicates that economic cycles may affect variations in property and violent crimes.

But most importantly, what reveals the unmistakable connection between poverty and crime is that they’re both geographically concentrated - in a strikingly consistent way. In other words, where you find poverty is also where you find crime. Of course this doesn't include "softer" crimes such as corruption which causes massive damage to people's lives but in a more indirect type of violence. -

the black unemployment AND poverty rate has pretty consistently been at least twice that of whites and since the last recession risen to three times as much

you keep posting that, but does crime become not against the law if your poor? poverty people should be exempt from crime? the laws apply to people in poverty as much as any middle class person...

i saw article not to long ago in a newspaper, and a man got 10 years in prison for killing someone, while the next article was about a husband and wife the embezzled 700,000 dollars and got 45 years each... softer, victimless crimes, huh....

and lets say you owned a business, like lawn care... three people apply, a white teenager, dressed ok, talks ok, kinda lazy... another is a black, the same way... the last is a black or white, with sideways hat, tattoos everywhere, talking like a gangster, and argumentative... who would you hire?

it's not really about poverty itself, the kids in poverty have nothing/no one to teach them how to work, get a job, act like a citizen... may not be their fault, but they aren't getting a job either...

Im only pointing out the HISTORICAL element tied to blacks as additional information to the implication that blacks have some innate cultural issue that causes them to be more criminal,,,,that culture is the AMERICAN culture,, and the historical places it has kept the black demographic relative to everyone else,,,

it's not innate, it's a choice they make because they feel they have no other choice...
