yet in the ferguson case the cop was innocent.... you might say that dept has a bad rap etc etc but that case had very close scrutiny and no wrongdoing was established... so you can't actually use it as an example of injustice. cause the example you are rallying around wasn't injust.
i'm not saying that you are wrong that the racial cases get more play because of a trend of injustice... but i think they also get more play because this is an established political meme at this point.... so its easier to coordinate a reaction via the medoa
