A Ruby Ridge happens in Americas Ghetto's every week and no one cares [View all]

I was just thinking about the New York Times Ruby Ridge video I posted a few days ago and how that incident changed the way the FBI handles situations with white separatist idiots and how it is influencing what is happening in Oregon. However, it just occurred to me that pretty much every few days I see a story about a Black or Hispanic kid getting killed in a raid in the city and no one gives a shit. There are a hundred stories like this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/17/aiyana-stanley-jones-joseph-weekley-trial_n_5824684.html Not to mention Randy Weaver was a racist piece of shit who sent his little boy out with a gun to fight the FBI. WTF?

That being said, there should be a lot fewer Ruby Ridges and dead kids in the Ghetto because of botched police raids.

Here is the video where everyone in Washington DC kicks into gear to move mountains and change legislation to prevent another Ruby Ridge in the future yet when Tamir Rice gets shot holding a BB gun everyone seems to suggest the blacks just need to calm down and no one moves a finger to change policy. Not even anything about how 911 calls are communicated to officers:
