Hahahaha. Ooooh I'm so offended I hear the left wing white people saying again

Were any black people actually offended? Also is it not inherently racist to see a black man with numbers on his t-shirt and immediately jump to him being criminal? I'd say Ikea is the one here with an issue.

So racial political correctness is now more important than the planet. Got it.

That's not good for the environment

Attorneys for Black man shot by officer says firing him his ‘first step in police accountability’Attorneys representing a Black woman who was shot and wounded inside a vehicle by a suburban Chicago police officer who also fatally shot her 19-year-old boyfriend say the officer’s firing “is a first step in police accountability.' Actually, it's not - arresting and charging the Killer Cop would be! Sorry but was he a criminal was he involved in a crime ... if yes as seems to be the case so often ... no sympathy here. Hard job for the officers ... but perhaps arm black officers to deal with hard black criminals? I think the death rate won’t change. Sacking officers - No way.
