I await mikey's reaction, strangely because he seems to have missed this black on white killing.

AOG.....I have raised an issue in the past, when a person is killed unnecessarily, and/or unlawfully in America by a Police Officer, which has happened on a few occasions in the last year. And I will continue to do so in the future.
This appears to be a murder, of which several thousands occur every year in America and I wish the San Antonio Police Dept. every success in finding the culprit.

“What has the third runway to do with a dead Police Officer?”
The movement “Black Lives Matter” was very vociferous in the summer when there was a spate of black people killed by white police officers in the USA. When the third runway decision was about to be announced (or just afterwards, I can’t remember) a group representing that movement protested against the possibility of a third runway at Heathrow. Their logic was that black people are disproportionately affected by the effects that air travel has on the environment whilst being disproportionately less likely to take advantage of it. Hope that helps, mamy.
I’m simply interested to see if a similar movement is set up following this tragic killing and whether its members will protest in the same way at the runway decision. I make no comment on the relative tragedy of any of the killings. All killings are tragic. But some have a greater after effect than others.

The only sites I could not find an in depth report on were:
The Mirror and The Telegraph (they don't have a search bar) and Huffington Post - which isn't covering the story at all, as of now.
I would strongly counsel you against the inference you're making on mikey4444 position here, because it's likely to come back to haunt you.
Also, the words 'strangely' and 'because' are in the wrong order.

dive buddy's gave a statistic of white cops being 17 times more likely to be killed by a black civilian, than the other way around.
The figure I think he's referring to is 18.5%, and has been put forward by Heather MacDonald in her book, 'The War on Cops'.
I've not been able to find any verification on that number, but another statistic, which has been verified shows that unarmed black men are more likely to die by the gun of a cop than an unarmed white man.
In August 2015, the ratio was seven-to-one of unarmed black men dying from police gunshots compared to unarmed white men.

// Well, a white police officer is seventeen times more likely to be killed by a black person than a black person is likely to be killed by a white police officer. Only in America, eh.//
more detail ?
a fifth of black males end up being shot ( dead I think ) usually by erm each other - so they have a 20% of being killed - rather than dying
I dont think the police have that sort of death rate
