A white policeman from Columbus, Ohio who shot an unarmed black man, Andre Hill, has been fired from the police department. The action was taken after a hearing on whether Adam Coy should be fired for the December 22 shooting. Although Coy didn’t turn his bodycam on, a feature in it recorded the shooting. Media reported there were several complaints against Coy for alleged use of excessive force.
So instead of being arrested and charged with homicide, the cop is fired from his job? That is a double standard if ever there was one.
Headlines like this incite riots... maybe it’s time to charge journalists with crimes for garbage reporting like this
Headline should be "white cop shoots dude who looks white and realizes after he's dead that he's supposedly a black man". Really stretching for the race card on this one. More interested in the back story because, as usual, the initial story reported never tells the whole story. If the cop really was in the wrong I hope they put him on trial, of course.
The man didn't look black. Police officer was just incompetent at his job and it didn't matter who approached him in that situation, they were going to end up dead.
He should be prosecuted, not just lose his job. He killed someone...
He wasn't black. Race is nothing more than physical features. This dude had paler skin than me and green eyes.
Scared ass cops.
They better hurry up with the conviction or tRump won't have time to pardon him.
Race baiting headline again. This is a story about the heartless, cowardly, militarized, American police.
Looked like camera was on. Sorry, guy was shot but, if he's black then I'm identifying as American Indian.
This is what happened in SA too. The media gets alot of click for race related articles and they make anything and everything about race essentially starting a race war.

Racists in the news trying to lynccch another white cop
So any skin shade now passes as black if it supports a narrative?
The cop was a future crime fighter. Many crimes will not happen since this thug is where he belongs.
This is the usual black terrorist shakedown victim scam...what about black on black violence? blacks killing White people? blacks killing White cops?
What about the black on black violence? Blacks killing White people? Blacks killing White cops? This is the usual pander to black victims scam.
They're just making up black people now? Dude was white af.
I've been chased by the cops before and didn't get shot in the back. Note I didn't know they were cops because there was no reason for for cops to be chasing us but apparently cops do whatever they want. Notably they didn't shoot us in the back though. Oh, probably because we're white
What does race have to do with this? Why the purposely insightful headline? Any cop who commits a criminal act is a criminal regardless of what race he or she is. Withholding aid is a criminal act
