Seriously though, this is the first I've heard of this. And if what the writer reports here is factual, then this is way more outrageous than the Michael Brown incident. I'm all in favor of protesting death by cops if the cops are proven trigger happy and the victims are complete innocent bystanders whether they are black, white, or other. We know Brown's hands weren't clean in the incident with Wilson. As far as Dillon Taylor goes, who knows for sure? But the national media chose not to cover this because it didn't fit the story that they wanted to tell and sell. BTW riots and looting are ridiculous under any circumstance. Why destroy the community you live in? That's just a Neanderthal move.

Having said that, there's a bit more info regarding the shooting, and the man shot, here: Utah Local News - Salt Lake City News, Sports, Archive - The Salt Lake Tribune
