Where is the outcry against blacks who kill other blacks? The number killed by police is insignificant by comparison. Take this case: she didn't have to kill him - she could have used pepper spray, or rubber bullets, or three of her friends, and just subdued him.

It would be very interesting to know where in the heck would she have gotten Rubber Bullets from to shot him if he was in the act of abusing her?, and the only people I know who get them would be the Police. Interesting....Hmmmm!!
