What does one have to do with the other, aside from the fact that both are black? LOL to your claim of colorblindness when color is the only criteria you have based your little poll on.
Objectivity and hypocrisy. Pretty easy to understand unless disingenuous is your MO.
Police officer Darren Wilson shoots an allegedly aggressive thug, and liberals and black people find him guilty of murder in the court of public opinion.
What about alleged sexual predator Bill Cosby? Do you folks find him guilty of rape in the same manner for which Darren Wilson has been deemed guilty?
I'll remind you that neither have been charged with a crime, but both are being held accountable for unproven wrongdoing.
It's a logical question and a test of your colorblind objectivity.
I'm not sure but you may be comparing apples to oranges, and here's why:
1. Bill Cosby has been a beloved performer to ALL races for many decades, whereas Officer Wilson was unknown until this incident, except that he is a policeman...a position often automatically hated by some individuals.
2. Bill Cosby hasn't been charged with any crimes, whereas Officer Wilson is currently going through the first steps of the legal system to determine if he will be charged with a crime.
to a lynch mob automatic guilt is a non issue.
asking a lynch mob about justice is like trying to buy milk at a hardware store.
they think letting someone off for rape murder and robbery is justice.

What a typically bizarre question you have posed, based on some kind of contrast in what you think "liberals" might be thinking.
If you consider me a liberal and want to know what I think, I think both are as guilty as the day is long. And from "liberal" blogs I've read, most seem to agree with me.
Of course when the evidence would indicate that one unarmed man was shot six times at a distance, you could logically conclude that deadly force was not necessary, especially if witnesses indicated that Brown had his hands up.
As far as Cosby, around a dozen or so women all have similar stories of Cosby using date rape drugs on them, when none of the women know each other, would indicate a very disturbing pattern exhibited by Cosby, and I highly doubt all of these women are lying.
If you can find some kind of "hypocrisy" in my viewpoint, all fine and well, because I do not.

Did those woman come out after the one woman filed a case against Cosby? That's public information so it would have been easy for them to make up a similar story. Maybe they demanded some cheddar and Cosby refused.

What I find is lots of 'assuming' in your viewpoint...like many viewpoints in America over these two cases. This is why it pays to read and watch/listen to ALL positions in the News. (And why I like Data-forums for some 'fair and balanced' thinking and debate!)
"shot six times at a distance"
"Brown had his hands up"
Both these statements would be wrong if the gun was fired first in the officer's car...as some witnesses and autopsy reports seem to indicate.
"I highly doubt all of these women are lying." I guess you haven't spent much time in the TV/Movie/Music businesses or lived in 'Hollywood'...(Speaking from my own experiences.)
