We hear a lot about when black people are killed by the police and while it is obviously tragic there is almost always an argument in favor of the cops having a reasonable fear for their lives.
We also never hear from the media that twice as many white people are killed by cops than black people each year.
Which brings us to this story.
From Breitbart:
Fresno police released the “body cam” footage of officers who shot and killed an unarmed white 19-year-old, Dylan Noble, during a traffic stop was released on Wednesday.
Noble’s death has sparked outrage in the community, as well as an impromptu protest in which mourners carried signs reading “White Lives Matter,” a reference to the “Black Lives Matter” movement against alleged police racism. The Noble family believes the teenager was “murdered,” and is suing the city.
The video shows officers confronting Noble, guns drawn, as he sits in a pickup truck at a local gas station. Officers tell him to put both of his hands up, but Noble only puts one hand through the driver’s side window. Later, Noble emerges from the truck and is seen raising only one hand, ignoring demands to show both hands as he walks toward police. Two shots are heard, and he collapses in agony. Officers demand that he put both hands above his head, and he is shot two more times on the ground.

Where is the outrage here?
Where are all the protests about this “unjust” killing?
Silence.
We don’t know all the details about this situation and more evidence could come out but as it stands right now, the media is exposing a huge double standard by not covering this very closely.
