Whites kill blacks everyday in the USA, they usually wear uniforms.
Walking up to people on the street and shooting them is wrong. The colour of the shooter and those shot doesn't change that.
True, but as it is a motivating force in the USA, it might indicate that there are ways to ameliorate the frequency of such killings.
Gun nuts are often in the habit of quoting a lack of correlation between gun ownership and gun killings. Switzerland is often offered as an example. But race relations in Switzerland are good. Maybe there is a clue here?

A tragedy to be sure, but so is the quality of much mainstream journalism in the US. Families and friends of the murdered journalists have my condolences, though.

People dying at the hands of shitheads with guns happens all day and every day in every town and city in the USA. More people die from gun violence every month in the USA than the entire death tool from the 9/11 attack by al-Qaeda. Every second American is a f****** terrorist.
