A Growing Epidemic C week

This week yet another African American male has been shot and killed by a Chicago police officer. Kajuan Raye, age 19 was thought to be a suspect of a crime in the area he was in. While being approached by the sergeant Kajuan ran and the sergeant pursued him. According to the officer Kajuan turned around twice and pointed a fire arm at the officer before being fatally shot and killed. According to street cameras Kajuan did run but not once did he turn back and point any sort of weapon at the sergeant. In addition the on scene investigators have not found any weapon the sergeant claimed Kajuan had in his possession. This event raises many questions and gives light to many issues in our country. I don't want to sound biased but this just seems like another case of a racist cop profiling a teen and ending it with the same results as every other cop shooting the media shows us. I think in order to truly get a sense of the situation though we must have some critical questions answered. For example why did Kajuan run in the first place? Why did the sergeant shoot Kajuan if there's no evidence of him having a gun? I think these two questions really speak on the relationship between officers and civilians in our country. I think that in order for Kajuan to run when approached by a cop is because he was scared or had some fear of the officer. The fear that every cop nowadays always has some malicious intent behind what they do especially when you are a person of color. I'm not saying it's right that Kajuan ran from the officer but not like we can have our question answered now since Kajuan has passed away. I also think that this sheds light on how officers see people of color in some cases. I don't want to jump to the conclusion that this was a racist act against this young black man but I definitely think this points out how cops can racially profile people. He might not have any hatred in his heart toward people of color but he could have fear that is focused on people of color just like Kajuan has fear focused on cops.This fear the officer had could of drove him to be extra cautious with how he was going to protect himself at all cost. In both cases though do you think this fear is justified? Do you think it is right for either one for them to fear the other? This mutual sense of fear could of been what drove both sides to do what they did in this situation. I'm not trying to defend the officer's actions either but just giving an opinion that doesn't directly write him down as a racist that hates black people.I don't want to jump to any conclusion but I would like to hear other opinions on the situation. What do you think this has to do with and how do you think we as a country could fix it?
