Have you heard of Michael Brown?
Did you know that Dillon Taylor, a 20-year-old white man, was shot to death by a black police officer on August 11 outside a 7-Eleven store in South Salt Lake?
What, you missed the tragic story because the media has been obsessed only with reporting the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson?
Had you even heard of Dillon Taylor before you read this?
If you haven’t, you need to ask yourself a very tough question: Why?
Why has the media gone into a frenzy reporting the tragic and untimely death of Michael Brown, while basically ignoring a very similar shooting incident in Utah.
We won’t state the obvious, rather will leave you to draw your own conclusions on that one.
Indeed, the fact that the officer concerned in the Michael Brown shooting was taken to hospital with a reported fractured eye socket which he received during a beating from Brown before fatally shooting him. It may suggest that the officer could, possibly, have been acting in self-defense, as cops are often forced to do.
But it seems that it was enough that a white cop shot an African-American unarmed teen to death. No investigation, no trying to work out exactly what happened, just a foregone conclusion that Brown was innocent and the officer guilty.
