CNN’s Hill: Police Shootings Shaped by ‘Artifacts of White Supremacy’ (NewsBusters)

Marc Lamont Hill doubled down on his theory about supposed white supremacy shaping police encounters with black people during a segment on Wednesday's CNN Tonight. Hill disputed the Supreme Court's decades-old "objectively reasonable" standard on the use of police force, and emphasized that "everyday citizens have biases....oftentimes, we are shaped by white supremacy. We are shaped by fear of black bodies. So, just because a jury of people have (sic) the same irrational white supremacist fear of black people doesn't mean that it's okay to shoot them. It may be legal, but it's not okay."
