Salt Lake City riots over police shooting

[Perd Hapley]

Actually, no. Eric Holder and Al Sharpton do not seem to be en route to the scene where an allegedly unarmed white dude was allegedly shot dead by an allegedly black police officer.

However, the President has vowed to play golf in honor of Mr. Taylor, as he did for Mr. Brown.

What, not even any taxpayer funded community organizers courtesy of the DOJ? How come you Missouri guys are so special?

[just Warren]

 "special"

Note to self: read the OP immediately after the thread heading. I was very confused as to how y'all would hear of a riot in my area before I did.

It's because there wasn't one. Phew.

In another difference, the officer involved in this one was wearing/using an on-body camera, though the police haven't released footage:

I guess Mormons don't riot.

I guess Mormons don't riot.

Based on the demographics in my part of the valley, Salt Lake / South Salt Lake are probably under 50% Mormon, I'd guess. Higher percentage of bleeding-heart liberals in that area of the valley, though not many of the rioting sort. Last riot I remember in the area is a small one at the end of the 2002 Winter Olympics.

I guess Mormons don't riot.

But man if they did. Orderly, well dressed, and they would probably clean up the streets afterwards.

Video evidence of a perfectly good shoot would not stop trash like the Ferguson rioters from doing what they do.

Truth don't matter, yo.

Mormon riot: they take off their black coats and narrow ties and walk around in their white shirts with the collars unbuttoned

If I had a son, he'd look exactly like Dillon Taylor.

And they wouldn't need to knock over grocery stores, since they have plenty of food at home . . .
