ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) — A white former police chief here was indicted on murder charges in the 2011 shooting death of an unarmed black man after an argument, a case that instantly drew comparisons to the Ferguson shooting and the chokehold death in New York.

The indictment of Richard Combs, the former chief and sole officer in the small town of Eutawville (YOO'-tah-vihl), was released Thursday. He faces 30 years to life in prison if convicted in the death of Bernard Bailey.

Combs' lawyer accused prosecutors of taking advantage of national outrage toward police and the justice system to get the indictment.

If I shot someone, I wonder if I would be named as a former factory worker.

Factual headline:

After being cleared by Obama’s justice department, White ex-cop charged by locals for shooting 6-6” black ex-cop who tried to flee during scuffle.

These stories make the front page but the far more prevalent murders of Whites by blacks is completely ignored.

Every time a black man shoots a white police officer, that should receive this same coverage.

Hadn’t heard ANYTHING about that. The White man beaten to death with hammers last week in St Louis seems to have gone down the memory hole.

“Not much news about the black guy who stabbed 4 people on an AMTRAK train last night in Niles Michigan.”

One thing is certain, the assailant was not a white male that stabbed any black people.

WSBT — ““I heard somebody screaming and yelling just loud. I look up and there’s an African American gentleman standing over someone who’s sitting down in one of the first seats in the car and I see him have his fist up and then bring it down,” Cipri said.”

Yes, a real gentleman. Tipped his hat to the ladies right before he stabbed the conductor.

Moe PC afflicted citizen gibberish.

There was another attack on a Bosnian woman in St Louis. Police are investigating that one as a hate crime.

no mention of the blacks killed this weekend by blacks I bet around the country .

Criminal justice is racist they shout. Maybe if blacks were not committing most crimes then they would not be in jail or prison.

The first word in the headline is “White” so we know where they are going with the article.

I did see that. The powers that be and the msm are spinning this that the victims were targeted because they’re Bosnian, not White.
