Because we give cops weapons and permission to use them. I'm not so sure that the concern is always about color as it is on the fact that its the cops going too far, even in cases where there was reason to be suspicious or arrest it seems they take the easy way out and shoot before trying other methods of subduing the suspect. I'm more than willing to cut them some slack given the immediate decisions on what to do, but the video of the cop shooting someone in the back and coolly dropping the taser next to him as he lies his azz off about what happened is for real shocking.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
