Why do people play the race card?

Can you tell me why people pull the race card over things that make them look like a dumb crap...

Here is the story. A man has a gun, knife, and pitbull and crashes a baby shower in Bellevue, WA. Police arrive. He points the gun at them. They shoot him.

One of his friends claims that Bellevue police targeted him, because he was mixed race. WTF!?!?! When you point a gun at a cop you're gonna die, it has nothing to do with race.

STOP PLAYING THE RACE CARD!

Sorry, I normally do not get emotional like that, but my goodness... The man pointed a gun at the citizens at the party and the police. It was not because he was a threat to life, rather it was because he was a minority that the police shot him? Put down the crackpipe. Back away from the kids and get your tubes tied, because you don't need to be reproducing.

Here is the news article so you can read about it for yourself...
