Most conservative people assume that when a cop shoots a bad guy, they had it coming. They are raised to believe in law and order - to want peace and safety, and they have little sympathy for someone who breaks the law, no matter the ethnicity.

Liberals are more likely to hate authority figures and more likely to protest when a criminal is killed. Nonetheless, they hate white people even more, so if it's one of their own, perversely, they don't care.

Since blacks live within crime-riddled communities, they know criminals and more closely identify with those criminals. When a black criminal is killed, all they see is 'one of us' lying dead in the street. They do want law and order to an extent, but not so much that one of their own actually has to pay the consequences for committing a crime.

The fact that their own people commit almost all of the crime in their community doesn't seem to register with them. All they see is the cops unfairly punishing a black person.
