John Fugelsang: Where are the white leaders decrying this white-on-white violence?

70. You do have a point that white people did not riot when white bikers were killed by cops

But then white people can feel more sure that the cops made the killings on more solid information and that the others arrested will get justice in the system.

Black people have less faith in that, or indeed, think it may be exercised against them much sooner. Shooting these bikers and shooting Michael Brown for instance, are not equivalent. Michael Brown was an unarmed 18 year old kid, not a biker with a gun already starting a shooting before police got there. So it seems to the black person that an unarmed 18 year old white kid might not have ended up shot, perceived as a threat so soon. Wilson might have talked to said white kid and defused the situation rather than killing him. Likewise, it would be likely for black persons to think black bikers who had already started a shooting would have been killed sooner and in greater numbers and that the remaining bikers might not get a fair trial.
