Sherrilyn Ifill is a total fool who wrote this article based on false presumptions. She presume that all white officers acted in such a way because they may be racist toward blacks. She failed to understand that sometimes, black officers shoot white people without just cause, like that case in Louisiana where a white autistic boy was shot by black sheriff. Is that overt act of racism, eh? Police work is a difficult job and often, people who may not be qualified mentally may still wear the uniform. Most of these shooting take place because the officers claims that they "fear for his/her life" despite of the fact that there may not be any visible threat. Fear of a threat, is not good enough to kill. There got to be a clear threat. In all three shooting, it was the fear that triggered the shots. This does make you wonder if some of the police officers are too fearful of a personality to do their job? After all, most Marines will run toward the fire, but the few will go the opposite way.
