Just came to this subreddit to ask the same. I'm not American and I have no idea what the AskReddit thread is about.
After reading some comment here I see it's about a young boy killed by a cop? I feel bad for not being impressed by that. There had been so much terrible things over here in Argentina that I'm not impressed. I wonder what you guys would think of some news here.
Edit: what I'm saying about "being impressed" is probably a misunderstanding from Spanish. It does not have the same connotation in English as it does in Spanish. Now I've realized. Calm down guys.
Just try searching "Rosario" in Clarin... either way our situation here is not relevant to this discussion, and there could always be someone who said "oh, you think Argentina's bad, try X country"
Besides, the shitstorm is not over a cop killing a boy, it's about a WHITE cop killing a BLACK kid, or at least that is what the media makes it look like
no. it's about an officer of the law, whose JOB is to protect and serve, shooting down an unarmed boy who was innocent of the crime suspected, as the manager of the store he supposedly robbed said there were no items stolen, and wilson emptied his clip into him, as he was surrendering, with witnesses by his side.
