Literally all of those have been true of black victims in the past as well, except the last one.

Here's a picture of a 7 year old black girl who was shot by a police officer while she was asleep:



No resignations, and a mistrial for the officer in question.

The Australia thing is new, I'll give you that one.

But of course its *ALWAYS* about race to you and the rest of your ilk.
Yeah, look, I've got some hard news for you that you might not be ready to hear, so brace yourself:

It is about race. American cops unjustly shot black people more often and suffer less consequences because of racism.

I realize that you rest of your ilk have problems with being told that racism still exists, snowflakes that you are, but I'm afraid you're just going to have to deal with it.
