The favorable/unfavorable poll numbers for white supremacists will probably go down.

WHERE ARE ALL THE WHITE PEOPLE DECRYING AND PROTESTING THIS ACTION BY THEIR KIND?!?! Not sure I get the reference to "THEiR KIND". My kind does not shoot anyone. Surely you can't believe all whites act alike any more than you believe all blacks, Asians or anyone else acts alike. That said, the actions of these criminals is deplorable, irrespective of racial make up. I trust these morons will be apprehended and prosecuted.

WHY AREN'T YOU OUT PROTESTING OR MEETING WITH OTHERS OF YOUR RACE IN ORDER TO ISSUE A PRESS RELEASE CONDEMNING THESE ATTACKS?

I am actually in a meeting right now with folks of many ethnic and racial backgrounds. Thanks for the suggestion though. I have decried the actions k this board and on other forums.

Had black panthers shot tea party protesters the right-wing media would implode. It would be 24/7 top coverage.

I think the story is being covered appropriately.

No. Something like this should have American citizens, no matter where they live, outraged and downright frightened at the lengths that the Chicago PD went to cover this entire situation up and why it took the prosecutor over a year to finally bring charges against the officer. However, it won't and all you will hear from those that normally protest about their rights being infringed upon is crickets mostly and cries of "what about black on black crime" from the rest. I've long come to terms with the fact that as a black man, racism will forever be my burden to bear.

I've long come to terms with the fact that as a black man, racism will forever be my burden to bear. I realize that law enforcement officers often encounter situations that require a judgment call. I find it difficult to say what I would do in any given situation, even outside of this context, so I do not really condemn people for making snap judgments when exigent circumstances arise. I have been reluctant to take police officers to task for their actions under such circumstances. HOWEVER, I can say with the utmost assurance that what Jason Van Dyke did was repugnant on almost every conceivable level. As you said, the most troubling aspect of this entire debacle is how poorly it was handled by those in charge. This "dash cam" evidence has been available for administrative purposes for over a year. The fact that it literally took the video release to the public in order for an appropriate response is more than troubling. I'm unsure what quickplay means by "major police reform," but, if it means greater transparency, I am certainly on board.

Except that lots of conservatives and libertarians believe that the police have too much power and have become over-militarized. Just like there are a good number of people on the right who are in favor of prison/sentencing reform, like the Kochs.

I think that unfortunately much of the debate (at least on a national level) surrounding this issue falls along standard Right/Left lines, whereas the issue itself doesn't necessarily fall along those lines.

Very true. It's much easier for the MSM to paint everything in left/right terms, rather than show any nuance or real analysis. @radleybalko from the Washington Post is a good follow on these issues.
