If I'd been burgled, robbed or whatever I couldn't give a tośs what colour the copper was who came round as long as he did his job properly. Pretty much like the majority of people. It's only a certain minority who make it into an issue

If you're a woman that needs to be searched, are you going to be more comfortable with a woman, or a man (bearing in mind that at this point you're generally not already proven guilty, so rights should be respected)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What's it got to do with male and female exactly??
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's a similar concept. You wouldn't get all antsy about them only asked for female officers, would you? Do you understand the need to have gender diversity in the police force?
If so, it's very similar to the need for racial diversity
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How exactly. I understand gender diversity and the need for that. But how is that similar to race diversity. Are you saying people should start picking and choosing what colour officers they want turning up to their house, or what colour officers they want searching them, or dealing with their crimes. How far do we go ffs

No, I'm suggesting that a diverse police force helps form a better public opinion of the police. If the entire police force was white, they're going to get accused of institutional racism.

"You now have people making excuses for him, because he was apparently on anti-depressants that MAY cause violent outbursts."
Stating a contributing factor and making excuses are two entirely different things.
Whoever the doctor is that prescribed these medications probably needs to look in the mirror. Too often doctors write out a prescription to keep their patient happy and their appointments on time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Totally agree with your statement about the doctor but disagree with the first statement.
Reason being; there is no consistency. When a 'Muslim' terrorist or 'black thug' does something criminal we don't get such broad coverage and rapid journalism in to their medial or social history that could have an effect on their behaviour.
More importantly mental health affects A LOT of people. The majority of which have taken some form of anti-depressants and do not murder. Anti-depressants don't make you racist or politically ignorant. Violent outbusrts are a lashing out due to an immediate mood swing.
This guy planned this shooting for 6 MONTHS. If anti depressants are responsible for this murder then we would all be dead within months.

Tbf I did sorta feel sorry for the guy for having that horrendous bowl-cut
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First sensible comment on this thread so far. Well done that man!
For anyone saying it's not terrorism look at it like this
911 a radical group attacking a specific culture
Charlestown a radical person targeting a specific race
It's in essence the same thing, the Charlestown shooting is domestic terrorism.
"He was taking anti-depressants "
Explains everything, he was depressed that's why he killed those black people.
do not have the time to read thru every reply to original post so may have already been noted. Who in their right mind gives someone a gun for their birthday when they are on anti depressants?????
this is complete nonsense..... I remember a black guy attacking people with a machete near a school in Wolverhampton..... They were very quick to report that he had bi-polar
noun: terrorism
the unofficial or unauthorized use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.
----------
Was he pursuing a political aim or lashing out in a mindless, illogical hatred of another race.
It was a racist attack, if he had strong links to a political organisation and was using his actions to further their ideals then it was terrorism

But prescription drugs can and do make people think differently.
Of course this guy is the first the blame, I'm certainly not looking to make excuses, especially if the attack was planned and plotted. I'd assumed he lost his shít and had a mad moment.
But if this man was unstable, a doctor should have recognised this before prescribing mind altering drugs.

Wait, he was given a gun?! I hadn't seen that! If that's true, that's insane and whoever gave it to him should be locked up too...
What a lot of people have missed here is that if this guy was a muslim, he would have been called a terrorist first. To suggest otherwise is nonsense.
If it was black guy, he would be called a thug and that he had it coming. Michael Brown, etc.
This guy is a terrorist and domestic right wing terrorists have killed more people than all other terror groups.
It is unfortunate that some here are making excuses for him. You do not even see it. I would laugh but it is sad.
That church has been bombed, shot at, burned to the ground multiple times. This was a terror attack and he was not a lone wolf, which is the usual mantra trotted around when it happens.
Same with Breivik, he had help and support.
It is unfortunate than in 2015, people are targeted and killed simply because of the amount of melanin in their skin.

____________________________________
Correct, this is type of stereotyping is build into the human mind though.
I believe something like 90% of terror attacks are committed by Muslim folk, meaning 9/10 times a terror attack is Islam related.
Does this mean all Muslims are terrorists? No.
The difference between a mass homicide like this and a terror attack is that one has political aims and the other does not.

Actually that is not true, the vast majority of terrorist attacks are from right wing terrorist groups. The media does not report it the same but if the persons name is Mohammed it changes.
The FBI for instance is now focused on these domestic groups. They kill more people than the "islamic ones
"this is complete nonsense..... I remember a black guy attacking people with a machete near a school in Wolverhampton..... They were very quick to report that he had bi-polar"
I'm not entirely sure who people are referring to when they say the media to be honest. In the aftermath of the Lee Rigby murder, there was plenty about the mental state of the perpetrators too. It's never about justification, it is just that the public have always been and always will be very interested in the background of individuals that do things like this.
In terms of the terrorist vs hate thing, they are interchangeable a lot of the time. There are slight differences though.
