This happened a couple of weeks ago, and I hadn't even heard about it until I came across this article. So where is all the outrage, from people of any color, at something that was just as egregious as any of the more well-known incidents?

Are you not outraged? Shouldn't your post be one of outrage and not a question about it? That's the reason right there. People on the side walks wondering why no one is taking to the streets. Ask your media networks? Huff Post ran with story since it happened. Do you think was a case of racial profiling, stereotyping...or down right brutality? I have not read any statements by the family...if they are not surprised or outraged, why? The news has not been ignoring this incident But it seems like a few recent articles have tried to put a "white lives don't matter" spin to this in an attempt to show bias based on the reactions of the other alleged acts of brutality on African Americans. Instead of allowing ourselves to be devided on this issue we should come together and express all lives matter and all citizens are protected under the constitution and when civil rights are violated perpetrators even police should be prosecuted.

MSgt Michelle Mondia I agree, Master Sargent. But don't you think that, by their silence in incidents like this, those most outraged about the black victims (and note, I'm NOT singling out African Americans here -- there were/are plenty of outraged people of all colors) hurt their own message by showing no interest in this incident?

I don't agree that people are not interested this incident. People are talking...I think it's a use of force issue and not an issue of racism or profiling. I'm outraged. I'm shocked and I think it's a media coverage problem. The media spins issues and is for the most part is mainly responsible for shaping public opinion as its being perfectly illustrated now by slanting this incident and linking it to biases and pushing it out their like the black community doesn't care about brutality perpetrated on non blacks. It's not true. But here we talking about it because someone wrote an article and discussed it on Fox News. We are all one and we should stand as one when it comes to injustices.

19-Year-Old Unarmed College Student Fatally Shot by Texas Police
Arlington, Texas police fatally shot a 19-year-old college student that they claim broke into a car dealership early Friday morning but some members of the dead man's family find the police version of the story hard to believe.

Interesting how this is in the headlines right away, whereas the story originally mentioned in this post didn't even make the headlines.

GySgt Wayne A. Ekblad - Completely agree, Gunny. Modern media is shit. Whatever gets the most views/clicks, regardless of the story. Walter Cronkite is rolling over in his grave.

Please let me say.... almost everyone is armed, as in they have arms... legs... those are weapons... CARS are weapons.... I had a guy use a screwdriver on me.... almost shot him.... then had a 5150 dressed as a ninja (with swords)... I only hope someday we can see the totality of evidence and not judge on a 20 second video
