This happened a couple of weeks ago, and I hadn't even heard about it until I came across this article. So where is all the outrage, from people of any color, at something that was just as egregious as any of the more well-known incidents?

The outrage over this type of incident is ginned up by race-baiters to further their own agendas, and is unrelated to the facts of the incident. This is obvious by the lack of reaction to incidents like this one that don't fit the racial profile the race-baiters are looking for - black perp shot by white cop.

I could't have said it better myself. I believe the race-baiters your referring to can also be identified as the U.S. media. Looking over the statistics for the last 15 years it doesn't seem to show much change in shootings or arrests of white or black individuals but all of this sudden... IT'S A HUGE DEAL. I'm not taking anything away from the shooting of innocent men. I'm just asking the question.... "Why now?"

CW2 (Join to see), of course the race-baiters include the media - they are perhaps the worst offenders. Recall the doctored 911 tapes and police pictures that were altered to make Zimmerman appear to have racist motives and no injuries from getting his head bashed on the concrete sidewalk. Also the pictures of Martin as an innocent 9 year-old instead of the teenage street thug that he was, and the description of Zimmerman as a "white Hispanic" to work the "white kills innocent black young boy" profile they were using to try to stir up riots.
They did the same thing in Ferguson, Staten Island and Baltimore.
Their motives are to sow racial divide IMHO; the left uses this racial resentment to turn out the vote for the Dems. It is a tactic that they have been using very successfully for many decades, resulting in a reliable 90% black vote percentage.
The left does the same thing with their other interest group constituencies as well; divide and conquer.
And the media today is largely a creature of the left.

You will also note that for the last several years, your winter human interest stories on the news have been focused on things other than the homeless sleeping on grates. I can predict with 100% accuracy on NOV 6, 2016, whether those stories will return for the next 4 years.

SN Greg Wright, Well, I'm sorry the kid was shot and killed, but it does show the cops aren't racially divided. They'll kill anyone if they fear their life is in danger.

SN Greg Wright, I don't think there would have been a reaction. It would just be another dead white guy attempting to assault a police officer.
