The guy was shot because he attacked an armed policemen, not because he was black or because he stole some cigars.
The video is pertinent not because it shows a committed property crime, but because of the behavior observed in the crime of extreme belligerence.
Attacks on armed policemen don't turn out well for any social group in the USA. It's a STUPID thing to do, and your claim that it is somehow less stupid and more accepted when done by white criminals is laughable, and certainly needs some citations.
So, are you advocating that the police force should create an affirmative action policy where black perps are to be allowed 25% more offensive violent struggle time with a policeman before he shoots? Is that your goal for solving the problems in Philadelphia? Would that help the black portion of society?
