wow even RW thinks the cop is guilty.

was listening to the radio last night
at work and Mike Savage was outraged that the cop got away
with it. "look at the video, how can you not bring an indictment.

FWIW I work nights, so my listening choices are C2C or Savage
or music that promises to lull u 2 sleep.
NPR comes in spotty.

also Management has the TV locked on Fox 24/7.
and they thought the cop should have been indicted.

So even RW folks think the cop is guilty.

When a black cop does this to a white guy, what then?

and they talk about it and post photos of it alllllllllll the time. One case of an African American cop killing a white man, and I haven't even heard the details to know if it's as questionable as the killings we've been talking about here, but that seems to prove to some people that there's no racism involved.

It boggles the mind.

I was wondering how much evidence they needed to figure out a bad shoot or when cops use excessive force. I guess the answer is video proof.

faux news and some conservative radio yesterday and this morning. They are shocked with this decision and cannot believe that charges were not brought against the officer.

Do not click on the link above as it does come from a conservative site. I am posting to verify the OP comment as well as what I have been hearing.

Unarmed White Man Killed By Black Cop; Here’s How The Media Reacted.

While national news media continues to focus on race in Ferguson, Missouri, where a white police officer shot and killed an unarmed black teenager, they apparently don’t think a similar case in Utah with the races reversed is that newsworthy.
Police in Salt Lake City are continuing their probe into an Aug. 11 shooting outside a 7-Eleven convenience store, when a black police officer, whom local media are referring to as “not white,” shot and killed 20-year-old Dillon Taylor, who was unarmed at the time, according to his supporters.

Police Chief Chris Burbank said the entire incident was captured on the body camera of the officer who shot Taylor.
“You will see on camera … the actions of everyone involved, including up to the point where our officer utilizes deadly force and his response thereafter,” Burbank told reporters.
He said the video, along with the officer’s identity, will be released at the “appropriate” time, adding it could be days, weeks or months.

“It would be wholly inappropriate to take the most vital piece of evidence that we have and put it out to the public prior to the officer having some due process,” he said.
