notwithstanding this
if the COP were white
if the KID was black
would the reaction of the "cumunity" be different?
your reaction?
will there be a grand jury?
will there be one in THIS CASE?
No, it wouldn't be different, it was different.
This was on video. The dead man definitely reached into his pants and made a "dangerous gesture". The cop's partner was clearly visible - meaning the story would not be his and his alone. The other witnesses in the region all backed the cop's story - exactly. The dead man had posted suicidal thoughts on his facebook page.
You see the differences? Parked farther away... approached at the ready... attempted to order suspect to surrender...
Perhaps a better cop in Utah despite being a mere minority?
