This crazy-assed, drunk white dude, jaywalking, confronted by cops, refuses to put down his gun. He was not carrying ID.
The cops talked patiently with him for 10 full minutes.
The crazy-assed, drunk white dude was talking about revolution. His name is Joseph Houseman. I wonder if his name is associated with a Tea Party chapter in Michigan...
This incident happened in Kalamazoo, Michigan in May 2014.
I wonder how patient the cops would have treated him had he not been white.
The man was never charged. Why was this man never charged? Why does a crazy-assed, drunken white senior man get a pass for breaking the law?
Hmmmmm.....
Had it been a black guy, he would be on a trip to 6 feet under....
If the big black man had aimed the weapon at anyone, probably so.
Look here, took me LESS than 2 minutes to find this

Thanks for the quick reply.
Okay...ask yourself why the cops didn't gun him down.
I'm compelled to call the cases listed in the OP and the one you highlighted equal in one sense of the word.
The cameras were on.
When cameras are on, everyone acts more in accordance of the official policies of their entity. Did you see the Little League World Series last month? Do you think that every coach talks to his players the way THOSE coaches who were miked-up and on camera do? When the manager is around, the sales clerks are much more polite than they are otherwise. When the principal is evaluating teachers in the back of the class, the teachers are much more formal.
Light is the best disinfectant.
Guarantee you that if the camera was on the gentleman shot in St. Louis this past month, he would still be alive.
It didn't help the other guy in St Louis a couple of days after Brown was shot.
