Why do the ritors ask for Justice?

Just to try and balance this out. Here is a relatively old article where an unarmed white man was shot by police:

When you watch the bodycam video, it is clear for all to see that his right hand behind his back could have concealed a weapon, and the police had every right to shoot. As I said earlier, it doesn't matter if you are black, white or Asian, if you don't comply with simple instructions in English then you are going to get shot. It doesn't take intelligence but simple common sense not to play around with the police when they are trained to shoot to stop.

The police -always- have "every right to shoot"....that;s part of the problem.  The bar for that "right" is phenomenally low and it's a "right" that only they have, apparently.  Meanwhile, failure to comply with instructions..last I checked, wasn't a capital offense, and cops aren't empowered as judges, juries, and executioners even in the event that it were, so what are we discussing, really? Cops, btw, are not trained to "shoot to stop".  Common misconception fostered by sitcom cops and movies.  They;re trained to shoot, to kill.  If they draw their weapon, they will aim center mass and end your life with a parabel round (or two or three or a dozen).  They aren't trying to wing you.  

"Do what I say or I'll kill you"

Yeah, sounds legit...

One of my buddies is an Iraq War vet (as in, he led one of the squads going door-to-door to secure individual houses), and he's talked about this very thing.

The military has very clear rules of engagement.  The restrictions on cops aren't nearly as restrictive.  We're militarizing our police forces, but not giving them the training to go along with it.  And we're seeing the fallout in our streets.
