Unarmed White Teen Shot Dead By Non-White Utah Cop

You sound like Hillary Clinton! Ask Feruson, MO that question, I dare you to go there and scream that question around midnight! Ask CNN while you're at it.

with all the respect, don't be an idiot.
you run around this thread over and over again, screaming 'black cop, black cop'.

why does it matter? who cares if he was white, black or green?
think about it.
THINK.

why would they mention the skin color, if not to divide and conquer? you're on ats and you don't know who pulls the strings behind mass media?

we're all human beings. skin color may have a role when it comes to the environment one was rised in, and may as such be a clue as to possible behaviour one may get from random person (as was pointed out in this thread already), but it's not a factor one may use to judge someone, because everyone can decide to be someone else than his environment wants him to be.

so if you're willing to judge people by their skin color, just GTFO, KKK is hiring.
otherwise, wether the teen was white or not, wether the cop was black or not, it really doesn't matter.

I'm doing the same as CNN does to prove my point of hypocrisy. Don't like it? Feel free to go elsewhere, with all due respect.

Here is where I got the info.

While national news media continue 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.

Here's local news coverage of the shooting.

At no point in that story is the color of the cop mention nor is there a name?

So how do you know it was a black cop and how do you know the name?

Like I said before..it is only the right wing media saying it was a black cop with no proof.

All the chief is saying was the cop was not white.

a reply to: Mikeultra

Still not seeing the black cop.

a reply to: Onslaught2996
The police chief said the cop was "not white" also. That's code for black.

a reply to: Mikeultra

Of course it is..

Jumping to conclusion is what I see and no facts to back any of it up.

Burbank drew a distinction between Taylor’s shooting, in which the officer involved was not white, and the racially charged shooting of Michael Brown, the black teenager who was fatally shot by a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo., two days before Taylor was killed. But Taylor’s family, friends and supporters have drawn parallels to the Brown case, asserting that Taylor, like Brown, was unarmed when he was shot.

And yet no facts to back up the officer was black.

He is not white....

Salt Lake officer captured Dillon Taylor shooting on body camera

Taylor's brother, Jerrail Taylor, raised issues last week about racial profiling. He said his brother was Hispanic.

So there goes the white angle..still looking to see if it was a black cop though..besides speculation.

With all of this back and forth about what color Brett Olsen is, did any of you bother to do a simple Google image search?

Here are 2 photos of him. I don't know what color he is (looks white to me), but he certainly isn't black.

Here

and here

Besides, who cares what color the cop and the victim are? The real issue is cops shooting unarmed citizens. The rest is simply race baiting.

a reply to: Onslaught2996
Well that's what the headline said, he was white. Let's call him White-Hispanic. Where have I heard that before? The "non-white" officer saw him as white.

a reply to: LeatherNLace

That officer I believe was involved in another case concerning shooting a dog I think.

As for the name...I have clue as to where he got the name Brett Olsen..since the cops name has not been released.

a reply to: LeatherNLace
Salt Lake City has 2 Brett Olsen. The one you linked to isn't the one involved with shooting Dillon Taylor.

Info showing that there are 2 different Brett Olsen working for Salt Lake City police.

"The raging debate has gone on, on the Internet and throughout, as to who the officer is, and which officer Olsen," Burbank said during an afternoon news conference. "Well, it’s Officer Brett Olsen, and, yes, he is the hero of Trolley Square, or one of them."

Two simple questions for you.

Do you think it was ok for a "non white" cop to shoot an unarmed white kid?

Do you think it was ok for a white cop to shoot an unarmed black kid?

a reply to: kruphix

( not english here ) Exactly i said no to the 2 question.

The police in the USA look INSANE. That's because of the "guns" mentally of the USA. Too many people see guns as "Tool" not killing tools.

The police will say : I needed to stop the suspect, not killing him. But to stop him i need to shoot 6+ bullet in his body, to make him unable to move.

No is the answer in a general way with no specific cases. However there are times when other details of a situation where it is. For example, if an officer is assaulted.
