We do, everyday. Here are two: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders_of_Channon_Christian_and_Christopher_Newsom
Erikson’s behind the curve on this one after the video from the store was released this morning. Even Don Lemon of CNN had to cover it.
Guess they haven’t seen the video of this upstanding honor student pushing around the much smaller employee of a convenience store in a strong arm robbery, which is why the cops were called in the first place.
There have been white kids killed by police. It is just not nationally reported and white people don’t use the opportunity to riot and loot stores.
The racists, Barack Obama and Eric Holder, will probably demand that an innocent white kid be shot every time a black thug is shot just to even out the body count.
Despite the facts of this particular case, this is a very poignant statement.
My brother was white...and killed by the cops...he took 5 bullets in fact...
Bad timing Mr. Erickson. St. Michael Brown may not be much of a Saint after all.
Didn't B Hussein 0bama say we need a civilian force with the powers of the military? Could this be what he meant?
I think the author of this article is hoping to write an updated version of “Bonfire of the Vanities.” Or at least be the new Peter Fallow...
Here is a white, completely innocent child whose life, if he survives, will be a struggle from now on.
Why don't we riot about that or the many other abuses the media chooses not to flog?
Or are only black children worth the media's time?
As far as I can tell, the color doesn't matter unless someone wants to make it an issue. That the black teen was shot nine times while he was on the ground is criminal. Unless ALL abuses are treated equally, nothing will ever be done to amend the problems the US has with out of control officers.
This isn't a black and white problem. This is an us versus them problem that is occurring nationwide and fomented by whatever aberration in attitude has taken place.
As my mother would say, pull your socks up and deal with the real problem.
What an absolutely stupid column. White kids have been and will continue to be shot and killed by cops. Where I live, the case of Michael Bell got a little bit of local publicity. Similar to Brown, supposedly Bell tried to take the police officers weapon and ended up getting shot and killed. Unlike Brown, Bell hadn’t robbed a store beforehand. The Kenosha police department settled a federal lawsuit out of court for about $1.8 million to Bell’s family.
What is undisputed is that Mr Erickson is full of crap.
Unless Mr Brown was doing a research paper on nicking Swisher Sweet cigars.

Whites are killed by blacks every day. It’s “dog bites man.” Not even news.
God...another stupid white writer
I’m a little suspicious about the timing of this robbery video. If Brown was a likely suspect in that crime, and that was the reason he was approached in the first place, why didn’t the PD say so all along? Something about this smells like a fat guy’s gym locker.
After seeing the pictures, at this time the “facts” are definitely in dispute.
