Rice beats his fiance, Michael Brown grabs a much smaller store clerk by the neck. One generates outrage and the end of a career, the other generates sympathy riots and I don’t mean for the clerk.
Yeah, sure, the riots weren’t about the robbery but rather the shooting. Nevertheless, the store video never touched Saint Swisher.
In all fairness, NonValueAdded, one incident involved the death of an individual. Mrs. Rice was not shot to death. The MB case had already been ignited with passions due to the fact that he was killed. So I can understand why the reaction to the video was not one of outrage over the clerks treatment.
