On this crisp and cold Saturday morning I decided to go out for a stroll and tripped on a pile of something that appeared to be racial hypocrisy. I wasn’t sure so I did some nadining and sure enough it did indeed appear to be a big pile of racial hypocrisy.
In 2012 a BLACK cop in Alabama shot and killed a WHITE college student who was unarmed and naked. I don’t think I’d ever heard anything about this story. If I did hear about it there wasn’t enough of a media buzz to keep it in my memory. As far as I can find there was no white folks rampaging or destroying their own town as a result of the incident.
Considering what’s been going down with this Ferguson deal I decided to climb into the boat and paddle over to the self-proclaimed free-thinking bastion of tolerance and intellectual brilliance that is known as $kin’s Island.
Not far from the shore line I stumbled into a pile of racial hypocrisy even bigger than the initial pile that I’d encounter on the mainland.
For the sake of this exercise let’s compare and contrast just one DUmmie instead of the entire population of the asylum.
Below is MADem’s take on the WHITE cop shooting the unarmed BLACK guy…

37. I wasn't there, so I don't know, but I have this "feeling" that the cop
grabbed Brown's hand with a misguided idea that he could put a cuff on him or something (for the grievous crime of jaywalking), and when Brown did what anyone would do when someone grabs their hand through a car window, he pulled back--the cop opens car door with force, hitting Brown, Brown shoves it back, cop grabs gun and shoots him through his hand, and Brown runs like hell realizing this dude is crazy (running out of a shoe) while getting gunned down in the road.

Now let’s look at MADem’s take on the BLACK cop shooting the unarmed WHITE guy…

34. Very odd situation. It happened AT the police station--just outside
This is from the school: http://www.southalabama.edu/shtml/crimealert.pdf
At 1:23 a.m., on Saturday, Oct. 6, University of South Alabama Police
responded to a loud banging noise on the west side window of the police
station. When an officer exited the station to investigate, he was
confronted by a muscular, nude man who was acting erratically. The man
repeatedly rushed and verbally challenged the officer in a fighting stance.
The officer with weapon drawn ordered the individual to halt. The officer
retreated numerous times in an attempt to calm the situation. The
individual continued to press toward the officer in a threatening manner.
The assailant kneeled for a moment, and then he rose again, rushing and
chasing the officer, who continued to retreat away from the building. When
the individual continued to rush toward the officer in a threatening manner
and ignored the officer’s repeated commands to stop, the officer fired one
shot with his police sidearm, which struck the chest of the assailant. The
individual fell to the ground, but he got up once more and continued to
challenge the officer further before collapsing and expiring.
The deceased has been identified as Gilbert Thomas Collar...
Suicide by cop? I know someone who did that --a very disturbed fellow with whom I worked. I'd forgotten about that...happened over twenty years ago!
If he left a note we will know more...

69. I don't think your assertion is supported by the facts at hand.
The cop could very well be just a regular schmuck who enjoys the "protect and serve" gig, who has a family, who is a nice person.
You can't come to any determination about the police officer's character with the information provided to this point.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014258364Hmmm. Very interesting. In this incident, the white guy maybe wanted to die? And the black cop could be just a regular, nice person.
Now, just for the sake of being fair, some DUmmies, who probably didn't realize the cop in Alabama was black, held to their standard cop-hate. I believe this is their default possession until such time as they learn whether or not the cop in question is a liberal-approved minority.
It's also interesting to compare other individual DUmmie's (such as Dixiegrrrrl) take on the two incidents. It's simply amazing how just reversing the race of the shooter and the shot in very similar incidents brings forth different reactions by the DUmmies. I guess racists will be racists.
