Listen to a Georgia cop reassure a white motorist that “we only kill black people.”

Yeah, this. I think it’s pretty clear that he was being snide, annoyed at her attitude and saying, “Well, gee, isn’t the propoganda against us that we only kill black people, golly gee, you should be fine, riiight?”

Still a stupid, tone deaf thing to say. But anyone who uses this (and yes I’ve seen people spin it this way) to say it’s a cop admitting that he only kills black people is either missing the context, or being dishonest.

He absolutely still should be censured for it. Snide or not, it’s an utterly inappropriate thing to say.
