Meet the equivalent of a modern-day lynch mob, the Tarrant County Coalition for Community Oversight…
The coalition has demanded all of the police body camera footage related to the shooting, the names of all the officers who answered the call, the firing of Fort Worth City Manager David Cooke and the firing of Assistant City Manager Jay Chapa, who oversees the police department. It also wanted additional charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and child endangerment to be brought against the officer who shot Jefferson, Aaron Dean. He is charged with murder.

As for the NAACP’s demands that LE agencies adopt psychological screening tools, remember what former Dallas police chief David Brown said…
Now for the demographic differences between Dallas County and Tarrant County, which is why this case might not pan out favorably for the lynch mob (like Amber Guyger). Note the hyperbole at the article’s end. Talk about throwing gasoline on a fire with a non sequitur…
Earlier in the week, the neighborhood where the shooting occurred was filled with furniture, remodeling supplies and old appliances sitting on the curb awaiting trash pickup. Resident Dianne Boone, 65, said those were supposed to have been removed a week earlier.
"It's always like that," sighed Boone, who has lived in the city for 60 years.
Sitting on an antique metal swing bench on her porch, Boone spoke of the long plight of black Americans, how her mother went hungry as a young girl and tore up her hands picking cotton.
"They didn't care nothing about us then," she said. "They don't care nothing about us now."

Against this backdrop, a recent study finds white cops do not shoot black suspects at a higher rate than non-white cops.
"The killing of black suspects is a police problem, not a white police problem." …they found a huge racial disparity when it comes to who gets killed by officers. "While only about 13 percent of the American population is black," they write, "28 percent of people killed by police are black."
The victims were overwhelmingly male (95.5 percent), and less than 1 percent were unarmed at the time of the incident. "The gun could been in the car, or on them, but it was there at the time they were killed," Menifield noted.
Crunching the numbers, the researchers report "white police officers actually kill black and other minority suspects at lower rates than we would expect if killings were randomly distributed among officers of all races."
In contrast, "we find that nonwhite officers kill both black and Latino suspects at significantly higher rates than white officers," they write.
Then the author goes onto blame “institutional racism”…
At least in part, "disproportionate killing is a function of disproportionate police contact among members of the African-American community." In other words, if a certain percentage of such encounters between the police and public end in tragedy, and cops are more likely to come into contact with black citizens (for instance, ordering African-American drivers to pull over at higher rates than whites), it stands to reason that black civilians are at greater risk of ending up dead.
I’m sorry but the last statement is a polite way of saying blacks commit more crimes than ___ (you enter the race). Let’s speak plainly and call a spade a spade.

They say the first step in fixing a problem is recognizing you have one. Here’s evidence that we as a society are not even close. Ronald Reagan once said, “Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.”
At this juncture it’s apropos to revisit the definition of what a bifurcated society is; where two sets of rules or laws exist based on race…

A democratic society cannot survive on two sets of rules. Tyrannical ones are fine with it, however. And so to you progressives, keep pushing. Just be careful what you wish for.
I thank you and let’s keep it real.
