And while this is coming to a head in Ferguson right now, make no mistake--this is a nationwide problem. It's all too common now for police to take a shoot now, ask later approach when it comes to black men. Two recent examples:

In Ohio, a black man is shot and killed by police in a Walmart

Meanwhile, back in June, in Michigan, a drunken white man brandishes a weapon ranting about a revolution and calling police "gang members" and yet the police calmly talk with him and then don't even charge him with anything.
