>>>What is really alarming is the statistics of % of cops indicted vs non-cops indicted - and also the % of convictions of cops vs non-cops. Look at the numbers and it's obvious... WAY WAY obvious that cops are simply treated differently in the court system. Plus if you happen to be a white cop who shoots a black guy, you can pretty much be assured you're getting away with it no matter what.

>>Do you honestly think that if the cop who shot Michael Brown was black, he would be indicted? I personally doubt it very much. I agree that cops are indeed treated differently; but it is the same for black and white cops.

>So you're saying that if a black cop killed a white kid the same way, he'd be off the hook just as easily?
I was talking about specific case in Ferguson. As to the general question of cops-vs-public, Google of how many cases you find (say, this year) of a black cop killing a white kid and being indicted?
