Fox News' Mike Tobin scolded Black Lives Matter supporters for thinking race had anything to do with the death of Daunte Wright.

After Police Chief Tim Gannon released bodycam footage that seems to support the claim that a “very senior” officer shot and killed Wright by mistake, Tobin suggested that Black Lives Matter protesters should have said, “Never mind!” and accepted the mix-up as just one of those things that could happen to anyone.

TOBIN: Things are not necessarily any less angry because you still have a young Black man who has been killed at the hands of police. And when you have something like an accidental discharge people aren't going to say that it's justified and they are still going to default to the belief that Black lives matter, and they think that Black people are treated somehow otherwise.

I wonder how many white people Tobin knows who have been pulled over for an expired registration and wound up shot and killed because a veteran police officer mistook her gun for a taser? And was not fired?

For comparison, the arrest of Matt Gaetz’s white jailbird buddy, Joel Greenberg, was delayed “for hours” while law enforcers negotiated with him - after he threatened to “utilize firearms” and claimed to have improvised explosive devices. At one point, he reportedly “threw a bag of medication” out of the house onto the driveway. Greenberg was not tasered, much less shot and killed. Think Wright would have been given the same privileges?

Besides the expired registration, Wright had air freshener hanging illegally from his rearview mirror and an outstanding warrant after failing to appear in court on charges that he fled from officers and possessed a gun without a permit. Greenberg, on the other hand, is facing 33 federal charges, including sex trafficking of a minor, stalking, and bribery.

Wright’s death has been ruled a homicide.

Only a reporter from the Tucker Carlson network would go out of his way to portray Blacks as uppity aggressors in this tragedy.

1. Wouldn't accept it either. Suspect warrant for a pistol might have amped up things, but still . . .

2. It Happens Too Often, Ma'am

On a hobby board I frequent, a fellow's signature line is 'Do it once, it's a mistake. Do it twice, it's a technique.'

Something similar applies to accidents. Each individual action may be an accident, but that pattern of behavior, that produces such frequent accidents, involves some deliberate choice. Methods and training do not alter the pattern which produces the frequent accidents, and this can only mean that either a deliberate choice has been made to continue to act in ways that produce such frequent accidents, or that it is not possible to alter the way people carry out the task during which so many accidents are made, and there is a deliberate resolve to carry on regardless of consequences to others..

3. Not Just Blacks

It just keeps happening. It has to stop.

4. Wtf?

and they are still going to default to the belief that Black lives matter

Yes we still believe black lives matter. Why doesn’t Tobin?

[Claire Oh Nette]

7. Clearly, to some people, Black lives don't matter, and that's the problem.

I go back to Colin Kaepernick silently taking a knee in protest of police brutality among the Black community.

Outrage. Straw men, changing the subject to service members and veterans and refusing to address actual Police Brutality.

Followed by an uptick in actual Police Brutality because a Black man had the audacity to be a dram free, successful, moderate democratic president. The Cracker contingent lost their fecking minds.

Because Black people demand the right not to be gunned downed in the street for seatbelt violations and expired tags.

Fox will never acknowledge expired tags don't warrant a taser, let alone an execution.

Fear of a Black Planet, when white skin is the anomoly.

Religion and hate and fear.

5. This was not a justified shooting

At worst this was manslaughter

6. Justify and rationalize are not the same thing.

Justify and rationalize are not the same thing.

[Johonny]

8. If a black man accidentally shoot someone like say, a cop. I'm sure FOX news will be equally

understanding, right?
