    White police officer joseph chavalia was acquited by an all-white jury in ohio of negligent homicide and negligent assault. Chavalia fired three gun shots into a dark room, killing unarmed, 26-year-old Tarika Wilson and injurying her one year old son.

    The officer claimed he thought his life was in danger becuase he heard gunshots fired and thought they directed at him, when in fact the shots were fired by other officers in the same home.

    The police had raided her home looking for her boyfriend, who was a suspected drugdealer.


    As much as white people may try to relate to and be sypathetic to the struggles of black people, they should never be critical of and will never understand what its like to be black in america. The police do not kick in the doors of white homes and fire their weapon with no regard for human life.

    (Yeah, I know we've kick the sh*t out of his horse before, but I had to vent somewhere!)

    That is all I can say. And you are right in your observation that not matter how sympathetic white people are, we can't really understand.

    "The police do not kick in the doors of white homes and fire their weapon with no regard for human life."

    Sure they do, just not at the same frequency.

    I've been treated like shit by white cops all my life, had my home illegally searched, had them throw me up against the wall and pat me down like I'm a fucking criminal for absolutely no reason. And the horror stories I've heard from friends are worse. I at least only had minor problems with the police, though I think it was mostly due to my dad. The cops love drug dealers where I'm from.

    As for this shit? It's fucking ridiculous and I can't believe those fucking jurors. Do I see this happening in a case involving a white victim? Dude, the cop would've been behind bars for life.

    I dislike police officers in general, because I've only met a very few in my life that were worth a damn.

    Jelly,

    Where did you learn of this case? I'd like to read about the case in depth.

    Google Tarika Wilson and there is a lot of information. Conflicting information depending on who is talking, but information none the less.

    you would think that they would have added some more diversity, to prevent that good o' boy shit

    lol typical,whats new

    Historically,this has been going on for ages

    White guy kills a innocent Black man,he gets off especially if its an all white jury

    But they really should start to diversify juries ........
