White unarmed youth shot and killed by Black Police Officer

Quote:So the point is that media bias caused the riots in Missouri, and the lack of national media coverage explains the lack of unrest in Utah?

 

The first reports I saw or read of the Ferguson, MO incident was of the rioting that broke out the day after the shooting. That's an awfully fast turnaround to be placing the blame on media coverage
 

Have you not seen the coverage since?  It's been around the clock lately with the racial aspect of the shooting.  Al Sharpton has been out in full force.  The White House sent people to the funeral.

 

Where's the around the clock coverage from the major news outlets?  Where's Al Sharpton making excuses for why he's one of the more racist people around?  Did Obama send White House aides to Dillon Taylor's funeral?

 

The rioting was part of it but stories about the race of the people involved has been a HUGE story for weeks now.

 

I'd be willing to bet if this was another white cop shooting an unarmed African American kid, we'd be seeing more coverage on it.
