(SLC Police Chief) Burbank drew a distinction between Taylor’s shooting, in which the officer involved was not white, and the racially charged shooting of Michael Brown, the black teenager who was fatally shot by a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo., two days before Taylor was killed.
But Taylor’s family, friends and supporters have drawn parallels to the Brown case, asserting that Taylor, like Brown, was unarmed when he was shot.
"It didn’t make sense to me when I first heard everything, and they tried to say he had a gun," said Taylor’s friend Aaron Swanenberg, who came to Monday’s protest straight from Taylor’s funeral. "I knew Dillon. He never packed a gun."
What do you want? A bunch of frickin' idiots to burn down their own neighborhoods, rob from their neighbors and generally act like morons, without knowing the facts and seeing the evidence?
There won't be. The only place I heard of this today was Rush. Nothing on NBC, CNN, or AP front pages about it this afternoon. Dead white people don't sell because we have no loud or politically influential advocates.

I'm just saying that if the protests/media attention in Ferguson are an organic and noble display of frustration with how cops and suspects of different "races" interact isn't this another case of the same thing?
Glad that the incident was taped. But what the hell is this?
"During the Q&A, Salt Lake City Police Chief Chris Burbank reiterated his opposition to a new ordinance proposed by the Salt Lake City Council that would require city investigators to submit for analysis all rape kits gathered from victims after a reported sexual assault. . .
Councilman Kyle LaMalfa has criticized the department for failing to analyze 788 of 1,001 rape kits collected between 2003 and 2011, and has said the ordinance would help to successfully prosecute more sexual assaults."The sense among the policymakers is that we’ve waited long enough," LaMalfa said last week.
But Burbank said analyzing every rape kit would sacrifice the department’s ability to investigate other crimes such as homicides and robberies. "It plays well politically to be sympathetic to someone who has been the victim of sexual assault, and I am sympathetic to that," Burbank added. "But I also have to be realistic and deal with the victims of all crime."

Like I said in the other thread, are there any significant groups advocating for whites solely or largely on the basis of their race? Absolutely not because it's "politically incorrect," yet blacks have the NAACP and Hispanics have La Raza. If whites tried to form a group like those, the liberals would railroad anyone try for perpetuating the "white power structure."

You know there is still the KKK
