When cops who choke a white person to death aren't charged, there's far less outrage. For example, David Glen Ward was killed by a police choke hold six months ago. The deputy responsible was fired, but no charges have been filed.

Not trying to justify the cops killing that guy, but it’s a pretty different scenario for at least a couple reasons:

1) The guy was armed and leading a high speed chase

2) I don’t think there is a long, long, documented history of cops murdering the unarmed white guys without any real consequence

There is. Police disproportionately kill black men, but there is ALSO a long history of cops murdering unarmed white men.

So how about these?

There does seem to be bias in media coverage and therefore society outrage or lack thereof.
