a little black girl and two policemen

American police have to handle violent people all the time. If more black people are violent than white people, one must ask why black people are more violent, not why are black people being targeted unfairly for doing nothing at all, except being black. It's called being rational.

If I described various behaviors that have gotten people shot by an American cop, I wonder what 'face' you would place on that behavior, based on experience with varieties of cultures.

I wonder what 'face' people would place on that behavior based on personal experiences.

I grew up in almost entirely white towns and neighborhoods. That didn't mean there was little or no criminal behavior. It just meant all the criminals were white.

The guys who crashed my sister's party and stole things from our house were white.

The guys who stole my Dad's car were white.

The guys caught breaking into a neighbor's house, the ones who conducted drive-by shootings, the two who got into a knife fight at a bar, the one who murdered his wife, the one who murdered his parents, the one who raped and murdered a 10 year old girl, the ones who sold drugs in the alley downtown, the three who robbed an armored car, the ones selling cocaine, etc. were all white.

When I think of criminals, two 'faces' come to mind: the one I saw with my own eyes and the one my culture tells me to see.

Does anyone else see two 'faces'?

I think you make an excellent point here. And yes, I think there absolutely are 'two faces' as you put it. I don't think we need to look any further that the discrepancy between how post-sports riots are described vs how the #BLM protests are described (and conflated with every riot that happens in a predominately black neighborhood).

I don't think it is always along racial lines either. Look at the differences in reporting #OWS vs most* gun-rights protests.

* I say "most" because I think the tide is turning on that one.
