Where is the outrage?

No looting, no rioting, no huge media coverage.

A rookie cop fatally shot an unarmed man inside a Brooklyn housing project late Thursday, authorities said.
The cop and his partner, also a rookie, were descending from a dimly lit eighth-floor stairwell at the Pink Houses at 2724 Linden Blvd. about 11:15 p.m. The 28-year-old victim, Akai Gurley, entered from the seventh floor with his girlfriend, startling the cops, police sources said.
The cop fired one shot into Gurley’s chest. He stumbled down to the fifth floor, where he collapsed, sources said.
The girlfriend, Melissa Butler, 26, is distraught, her mother said.
“She keeps crying,” said Naomi Butler. “She’s very upset, she saw everything. Police shot him and we don’t know why. He doesn’t carry any firearms. He was just going back home, they were taking the stairs. He’s a nice man. He’s been together with my daughter for four years. He has one daughter as far as I know.”
An NYPD spokesman said there was no indication a weapon was recovered from the scene. A neighbor on the eighth floor, Angela Tucker, said a light in that section of the stairwell has been out for three weeks and “with that door closed, you can’t even see in the staircase.”
Gurley was rushed to Brookdale Hospital and pronounced dead on arrival, authorities said.

logistics have sharpton and holder in Fergadishu for the outrage play by play. Moving them to NY this late in the game ruins their cred.

YO HOMIE, THAT MY OUTRAGE ?

Not enough info. Perhaps the officer was non-Caucasian and the person that was shot was Caucasian? Or maybe both parties were Caucasian? Or perhaps both parties involved were non-Caucasian?

Or perhaps this type of thing just doesn't make headlines in the geographical location where it occurred?

Or perhaps whatever the circumstances involved the whole thing just didn't serve any purpose for the media's agenda?

Exactly my thoughts.

Makes me want to post some politically incorrect drivel. I feel bad for the guy, if his only crime was still wearing his "zombie" costume leftover from Halloween. When I go to NYC, I always rent a ballistic vest at the airport...

The only mention of race in the entire article was this:

"The senseless killing of another unarmed African-American male by the NYPD should shock the conscience of all New Yorkers and the nation," Democratic New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries said in a statement. "At this point, talk is cheap. The community demands action. Our Mayor and the Police Commissioner must commit to a systematic change in the law enforcement culture of this City. Anything less will not be tolerated."

Maybe also since the NY Post's first image of the shooting victim that they could dig up was a mug shot......

Out of curiosity, why are two rookie cops put together on a foot patrol in Red Hook? Honestly, that's just asking for a mistake to be made.
