Can you cite a case where this happened and the consequences were unreasonably light?



There's stuff all the time:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unarmed_African_Americ...

Or here's a case where 6 officers collude to torture 2 black people to death (https://apnews.com/article/mississippi-deputies-guilty-pleas...). Surely they'll get a real sentence now that it's news, but it makes you wonder how many cases never get identified as racially-based when the investigators are the perpetrators.

And boy it sure does seem odd that further south you go the more of a problem it is... I wonder what could explain that phenomenon....


Which of these links describes "a cop shooting a black person for dating a white girl"?
