Having a bad note is a misdemeanor. Making them is a felony. Yet neither offense carries the death penalty. The point with cops is the Culture that treats races differently. I suspect robo's friend was white and was not harmed.

Having an expired license plate does not carry the death penalty by cop unless you're black.
Having a cracked tail light or lane changing does not carry a death penalty....etc.etc.
I saw a black senior citizen shot to death in a McDonalds drive through line. The cop said he suspected a stolen car, an old Pontiac?
Even black cops are prone to shoot to kill a black suspect out of training and culture. Its gotten bad these last several hundred years.
Its time for a change regarding peoples who were historicly slaves to be given back full human rights. doncha think?
