Racism is the COLLECTIVE behaviors of a group. A white individual within a system of racism/white supremacy has the implicit or explicit support of that system IF they choose to practice racism.
For example, when a white policeman shoots an unarmed Latino man -his fellow officers, the police chief, internal affairs, the union, the media, and the prosecutor will support, defend, and finance that white police officer’s “right” to shoot (murder) an unarmed non-white person. That is white collective power. [MORE ]
From [HERE ] and [HERE ] The Orange County District Attorney announced Wednesday that police in Anaheim were justified in the fatal shooting of an unarmed Latino man last July. OC DA Tony Rackauckas (in photo) said officer Nick "Buckshot" Bennallack (in photo below) was justified when he fatally shot 25-year-old suspect Manuel Diaz in the 600 block of North Anna Drive on July 21. Diaz was shot in the back and when he fell to his knees he was shot in the back of the head. Rackauckas and Bennallack are both white men.
Diaz's family has filed a $50 million wrongful death suit against the city of Anaheim and Bennallack. His family attorney insists Diaz was targeted because of his race and was wrongfully shot. They contend the shooting is part of a pattern of abuse by Anaheim police against Latinos.
Bennallack returned to duty within two weeks of the shooting.
Authorities said Diaz and two companions ran when they were approached by officers. Police also claimed Diaz was a known gang member. His family denies Diaz was in a gang. The DA called the case one of “self defense” although no weapons were found on or near Diaz.

"There is no evidence of any kind of weapon. ... You can see the two officers walking around looking for something instead of attending to the young man who is near to his last breath," she said referring to a bystander's video that captured the post-shooting scene [MORE ].
[Acording to Anon , a non-white person in a conflict with a white person or white system cannot be the victim in a white supremacy system. The non-white individual is always at fault, regardless of who initiated the conflict, or what facts or evidence are present."]
