How many unarmed white people have been killed by police in the last decade? This is a serious question, not a rhetorical one - I honestly don't remember having heard of any.

No idea the number, but white getting killed by police aren't as big for the media. Here's one that just happened the other day:

Who was unarmed ???
A raid in the Baisly Houses at 0630 yesterday recovered a 380 handgun whose shell casings were in the car. The ballistics are a match along with a 380 slug from a parked car. As of 2200 last nite the 4th person in the car has confessed. This shooting is 100% legit.
They were going to do a drive by to hit the bouncer who intervened on behalf of a stripper . The group in question wanted the stripper to do everyone which she refused, and argument ensued that the bouncer intervened in.. Knowing the bouncer had a gun, they went to get their gun.
The cops were shot at. They rightly and justly returned fire
I expect apology's all around.

To the best of my knowledge not many unarmed Caucasians have been shot and killed by police. But, many black Americans and those of African descant have been shot with out reason by police. Why is this happening. Why is it that black men are shot while reaching for their wallets, or for driving down the street. This is getting ridiculous. These officers need to get more then just a slap on the wrist.

If you think for a milisecond that I decide to shoot someone based on their skin color, you are out of your mind. It has nothing to do with whatever the threat is. If black people tend to theaten force against th epolice than white people, so be it. the statistics will reflect a higher percentage of blacks being killed by the police. This goes with ANY ethnicity. A threat is a threat, even if it has 4 wheels and an engine.

i have no idea, but i am sure that it has happened before. this only came to the forefront because the family of the victim called Al Sharpton. If it weren't for that, I double this would have made it to the national news.

That's because since the minority is blacks it's only right if the species kills itself off with black on black crimes... Like protecting and endangered species you cannot intervene with natural order.
