Because apparently white people have jobs and lives they focus too much on to lose their collective shit over something that, while unfortunate, isn't that great of a deal in the grand scheme of things. Hell, I really don't know. My condolences to the family of the deceased. R.I.P.

Because one example of an unarmed white person being shot isn't a trend, it's an anomaly. You can't say the same about the number of unarmed black people shot by police in America.

it doesnt help divide and destroy this country. no need to. plus its a white guy, they arent people to media or the narcissist president.

Here's my take on this; If that police officer that killed Dillion Taylor did so without justification then he should face the full force of the legal system and the same goes for that other officer that killed Michael Brown. The race ofanyone involved shouldn't matter, however this is the U.S. and unfortunately it does matter because of the historical and sociological context of the country.

This, done. Pack it in kids time to go home.

Racial double-standards. That's why.

1) There wasn't a riot attached to the event.
2) There is a history of racial inequality when it comes to white authority figures policing black communities. Not so much the other way around.
3) There is a history of cops in general targeting black people in the U.S. simply because they're black.

It's still wrong to not cover the story though. A few years ago in Minnesota. An unarmed young white guy, around 20 I believe was shot point-blank and killed by a white cop for no justifiable reason. He literally only had shorts on and no visible weapon and easily could've been subdued by the officer. It wasn't newsworthy because there wasn't enough outrage in the community. Maybe the real question should be, why aren't white people angrier? It's not like the Mike Brown situation doesn't happen more often than what the news covers. The media is a business and they what people feel strongly about. They certainly haven't covered every seemingly unjust killing by a cop.

How often are white kids profiled by a black police officer, then get shot while unarmed? And then, how often is that officer not charged with anything? 

You want to know why there isn't as much media coverage? Because the wrong that was committed in Utah doesn't happen at nearly the same rate. And it doesn't have to just be homicide. Stop and frisks resulting in physical battery, where the vast majority of people who are stopped are unarmed minorities who are just minding their business. I read a story one time where a straight A high school student getting off the metro on the way to play in a high school basketball game was stopped because he looked "suspicious" due to having a scarf covering his face: it was really cold in Philly that day. And because he was just trying to get to the game and didn't have time for the police annoyance, he literally had his balls ripped off.

Or how about when the whole "Stand Your Ground" law came into play, allowing Zimmerman to shoot Martin to "stand his ground", yet in the very same state when a black woman didn't even shoot someone, but instead, fired a warning shot, in her own home, to get her violent husband out of her house (someone who hadn't lived there in like two months) who had attacked her and threated to kill her. She was instantly arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was facing a 20 year sentence. It wasn't until after months of litigation that it was overturned, but she is still on house arrest (remember, she was just defending her home) and now the Florida Attorney General is trying to re-prosecute, this time for a 60 year sentence

As someone else has pointed out, there was another case where the police beat a man, then sued him for assault for getting blood on their uniform. There's media coverage and all kinds of outrage because the black community is tired of being seen as a threat just for being a young black male. Or in the latter case, not having the law applied consistently when it comes to a black person (in a case where no one died or was even injured, mind you)

Even in the Zimmerman case, they tried to make it seem like Martin deserved it, by showing pictures of him throwing up hand signs and saying he had a little weed in his system i.e. he was a thug. So even when a kid dies, he's still profiled as dangerous. 

Now, flip the script. You got white kids shooting up schools and theaters. How does the media portray them? As all around good and well mannered kids who did well in school; and how nobody saw this happening: a tragic "fallen hero" story. White kids that are proven dangerous are looked on as fondly as possible; black kids that are shown to be harmless are looked at as thugs and gangsters.

The reason there's so much coverage in one case over the other is because there has reached a break point on the black side. The black cop shooting the white kid is very much random in comparison to how often it happens to young black men. I'm not saying that it was right in any manner, what happened in Utah, but I will pose a question: had it been a white kid with his hands up, do you think Darren Wilson would have shot him? 

And for the case with Dillon Taylor, the officer was wearing a camera. We'll have to wait and see how that scenario will play out, but we know the officer will have some modicum of responsibility, since there's video evidence. And if the studies about police with cameras on them are to be believed, then officers are more hesistant to use more controversial means of solving a problem when there's video.

/end thread. 

Considering the population ratio of white to black you would figure that we would see more cops killing more white folks than black. But in reality we see the complete opposite. Blacks are obviously targeted by white police officers, that's why there was outrage over the ferguson shooting combined with the way the way the kid was killed, hands up no weapon in sight.
