Listen to a Georgia cop reassure a white motorist that we only kill black people.
Cobb County Lt. Greg Abbot pulled over a car in July 2016, on suspicion of DUI. The white driver tells him she's afraid of being shot. He tells her:
But youre not black, he interrupted. Remember, we only kill black people. Yeah, we only kill black people, right? All the videos youve seen, have you seen black people get killed? You have.
A cynic might be tempted to remark that he's not wrong, but U.S. police kill white people — they just kill black people in disproportionate numbers, because they are racist as well as violent.
