From RT:  Protests ignite in Pasco, Washington over the police killing of a Latino man.

From YahooNews:  Cop who killed a black man in a Brooklyn stairwell is indicted.

From Guardian:  I can't even describe this one, other than police kill black man, because it so bizarre and ridiculous.

From RSN:  Cop who shot a young man in the back is charged with murder.

From TheDailyKos:  The emerging trend of innocent black men and boys dying after calls to 911

From YahooNews:  A man from India was profiled in the neighborhood where his son lives; then, he was severely beaten by an Alabama cop.

From DetroitFreePress:  After two hung juries, Joseph Weekley, the white Detroit cop who fatally shot a seven year old black girl during a raid, will not face a third trial.  The shooting happened during a raid that was filmed by the show, "The First 48."

From NYT:  The Justice Department will not bring charges against Darren Wilson, the man who killed Michael Brown.  Mike is dead.  Wilson is now a millionaire because of donations he received for killing a black man and the $500,000 ABC News gave him for exclusive, softball interview.  The victim is dead.  The killer is rich.  Yep, doesn't sound like a civil rights violation.
