FROM THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE:

EXCERPT:
Dillon Taylor was shot by police Monday night outside a 7-Eleven store at 2102 S. State St. The officers involved were responding to a report of a man brandishing a handgun in the area of the store.
The South Salt Lake police department, which is investigating the incident, has declined to say whether a weapon was found, or what actions by Taylor — verbal or physical — were deemed threatening enough for police to fire at least twice.
Meanwhile, Jerrail Taylor insists his brother did not have a handgun on him.
Jerrail Taylor said he, his brother and a cousin had just gotten drinks at the 7-Eleven when the officers, guns drawn, confronted them.
Dillon Taylor initially didn’t hear the officers’ demands to get down on the ground with his hands on his head, Jerrail Taylor said, because he was wearing headphones.
Witnesses gave conflicting accounts of whether Dillon Taylor reached toward his waistband or, as his brother claimed, was just adjusting his pants.
The attack doesn’t fit the narrative so it is not relevant.
Critics say there’s a reason for the discrepancy in media coverage: race. Mr. Brown was black and the officer who shot him was white. Mr. Taylor wasn’t black — he’s been described as white and Hispanic —
.....
Anyone notice how Hispanics are always counted as non-white, except when counting them as white fits the media agenda?
Not comparable because the white kid didn’t attack the cop like St. Brown.
We also had 2 whites killed by a black mob at Texas A&M.
Double standards all around, inside and out, round and about.
Difference between Mike Brown and Dillon Taylor.
Taylor was actually convicted for thug crimes prior to being killed and was on parole and in fact had violated parole so there was a warrant out for his arrest.
Believing the statements herein about the incident are equivalent to believing what Dorian Johnson initially said about Ferguson™.
There is a cop-cam in this case.
I understand the political media bias, but another bias exists that is never mentioned! Civilized behavior as a cultural basis for society. Sadly many Black Americans culturally are not lovers of law and justice if it even remotely seems unfair by their cultural standards and is manifest by the looting and protests over perceived injustice without the legal procedures being followed that as Americans we all subscribe to.
