When cops who choke a white person to death aren't charged, there's far less outrage. For example, David Glen Ward was killed by a police choke hold six months ago. The deputy responsible was fired, but no charges have been filed.

- kitotik 6y agoNot trying to justify the cops killing that guy, but it’s a pretty different scenario for at least a couple reasons: 1) The guy was armed and leading a high speed chase 2) I don’t think there is a long, long, documented history of cops murdering the unarmed white guys without any real consequence

- vsl 6y agoSo how about these? https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1266715217398030336 https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1266715217398030336 There does seem to be bias in media coverage and therefore society outrage or lack thereof.
