Ferguson-like attack in Utah escapes media notice; race bias seen

On the surface, the cases appear nearly identical: Michael Brown and Dillon Taylor, two young, unarmed men with sketchy criminal pasts shot to death by police officers two days apart.

But while the world knows of the highly publicized situation involving 18-year-old Mr. Brown, whose Aug. 9 death in Ferguson, Missouri touched off violence, protests and an angry national debate, most people outside Utah have never heard of 20-year-old Mr. Taylor.

There was no Whites rioting when a Black police officer shot and killed Dillon Taylor (half White and Hispanic).  ::) :whatever:
