I can see where Minestrone is coming from, the BBC have form for painting all deaths as being race related if a policeman is holding the weapon and the suspect is white. A bit of impartiality would be nice. Maybe we could deal with the majority of knife crimes or rape gangs in the UK honestly by not trying to ignore the real causes.
Nope, he chose to only consider one of the multiple articles on the BBC website, to reinforce his (and your) bias against it.
Both you (and he) have form in finding articles to reinforce your prejudices, like you have some sort of trigger that searches for you and tells you when you need to be offended by something you didn't even know about.
Is it zerohedge or guidofawkes or just fox news that you use for your triggering?
A white (ex) cop shoots a black man then its bound to provoke outrage, it is far too common in the USA as posted before I wouldn't want to be black and stopped by the US police my risks of death are much higher.
We do know a man with a history of firearm offences entered a house where a more law abiding citizen probably wouldn't (it was filmed and not disputed) . We do know two apparent red necks drove after him in a truck and they were armed. We do know this chap apparently unarmed ran towards an armed man and was shot by one of these weapons.
Barmy, Nat & Co are happy to assure everyone its murder and Minestrone is obviously an out & out racist. I will wait for the court as it seems to be investigation & trial by media not facts.

Of what interest or how does this story affect you? It's of a murder of a black man in another country where there seems to be a lot of murders of black men. There must be a reason for you to pick this particular story from many others. Would you have picked it if the story was exactly the same but the man in question was white and called Sam Smith?

The video only ever shows a stationary truck with the guy already outside, Arbery is seen running towards it for 17 seconds before attacking the guy holding the gun.
It's your crippled mental faculties that have conjured seeing a truck chasing him.
The only reasoned explanation is that he got himself killed by running 100 yards to attack a guy with a gun and then trying to grab it off him.
I've stuck to the facts. He was in a house that he should not have been, there were folk who wanted to stop him until the police arrived. He chased down the guy and attacked him trying to grab his gun before he was shot.
I dont know why this gets some big story on the front of the BBC page.

Inneresting how some people start threads or post about minorities of an ethnic persuasion even when it has nothing to do with them, makes you think...
First things first. Are you still saying this is true?
If you are, how do you know that it is true?
The guy was black. Of course it's true. Apropos nothing, I think I banned mini once, and he was only allowed back if he reigned in his racist tendencies...
The article was what his mum was saying. It was not a comprehensive study of the details of the case. Instead, about half way down they liked to other details.
And even the video showing him "assaulting the guy with the gun", the "guy with the gun" was in a truck, chasing him down the road, then got out to attack him. Not sure how even a Trumper could twist that to being "oh but the guy running is the one who assaulted the two people int he truck who were chasing him"
