  2. But no murder investigation into the death of the unarmed woman who was shot in the neck and bled out? Imagine how different things would be if she were black.

  3. @10:55 - what difference would it make if she was black. None of those people should have been there of any race.

  4. ^^^Yeah, we'd have heard how she attacked the Cop, battered him nearly senseless, then pulled a gun (see exhibit A, an H&R .32 revolver, badly rusted, with a DC Police Property Room tag attached) and the Officer fired in self defense, seventeen times!
