Ferguson ruling

Interestingly enough, a white male by the name of Dillon Taylor was gunned down by police 2 days after Ferguson. He was unarmed (also hadn't assaulted a police officer or robbed a convenience store) and the police officer was a minority. Since you imply the reports are racially unbiased, why have most people never heard of Dillon Taylor? The only reason I know are from articles that claim hypocrisy. Otherwise, the news never made it out of Utah. Why is that?

Then there's the case in Georgia of a 17 year old white teen holding a Wii remote being shot by police.

Dude, you're really grasping at straws and making nonsensical arguments. Tamir Rice was black and made the national news but if he was white he would also make the national news. ????? So there hasn't been reported case of a 12 yr old white kid gunned down in 2 seconds (at least that you're aware of) so your n=1 of a 12 yr old black kid being gunned down means the justice system is failing ?????

The Tamir Rice incident was a tragedy - it shouldn't have happened. It's that simple.

Is there a case of a 12 year old white kid who was gunned down by police in the US? If yes, what was the context? I'm quite curious about this now

is this a pattern?

White men have been getting shot by police in this country since the Declaration of Independance. Of course it is. The only question is whether it's racially motivated, and it isn't in most cases.

My reference was a rebuttal to the implication that these incidents are all treated equally. They aren't. Perhaps that is why you haven't established the "pattern". Maybe, just maybe, a white dude getting shot isn't a big deal to a lot of people. It definitely wouldn't have fit the Ferguson agenda, so it was conveniently glossed over. No federal investigations will be launched from Dillon's death.

Any statistical evidence?

Regarding what? White dudes getting shot?

I see what you're trying to do, but this "statistical evidence" is in need of a correlation for proper perspective, and I'm not sure America is ready for an honest conversation about race and violent crime.
