Once more, we have a trigger-happy cop and a dead black man whose “resisting arrest” was running away. This time there’ll be no long, drawn-out palaver or grand jury to be manipulated.
Thanks to a bystander’s iPhone video of the incident, the cop has been charged, straight-up, with the murder of Walter Scott.

UPDATE: The brave man who video recorded the police murder of Walter Scott.

“After a full-week spent lying about Indiana’s Religious Freedom law and relentlessly trashing Christians as bigots and Christianity as bigotry, CNN closed things out on Good Friday by being humiliated in the all-important 25-54 primetime demo…”

“It’s not about freedom of religion, it’s about freedom of association or just plain freedom, if you will. It is slavery to take property against one’s will or to demand labor against one’s will; and it doesn’t matter whether that will arises from a deeply held religious faith, personal standards, or mere contrariness.”

I have nothing against Texas hiring a black (actually very pale) basketball coach whose given name Shaka gave it all away before I saw his pix. Most of the players are black (of one color or another), after all. Likewise the football players who now have a black (quite a bit less pale) coach.
But since Texas now obviously is into the PC game, it’s about time all those black athletes had someone who looks like them in the front office. So when is white (actually pinkish) athletic director Steve Patterson (who hired both new coaches) going to step down in favor of a black (pale or dark) athletic director?
If you said never, you’d be close. Even PC has to stop somewhere, eh Steve?

“I’d be curious to know,” says commenter Jim Alex at Instapundit, “how much these women were ‘encouraged’ to do this by whatever agency arrested them. It seems the only plots the feds bust these days are the ones they create, recruit, and plan.”
Me, too. The prosecutor just happens to be Loretta Lynch, Barry Hussein’s stalled nominee for Eric Holder’s replacement. We now have a pattern of the feds encouraging and abetting wouldbe-terrorists. Except when it comes to the real thing. They didn’t catch the Boston marathon bombers until it was too late.

You won’t likely be reading this story in the NYTimes anytime soon. It goes too much against the leftist grain which lumps minorities in one virtuous basket despite their very real differences over social issues, sometimes with each other.
It’s an old story, actually, which I first encountered covering the AIDS epidemic in Texas back in the early 80s. Black gays with AIDS were persona non grata in the black community whose “leaders” denied there were any gay black men.
This new rift between the predominantly white and leftist Presbyterian church (very big on divestment from Israel, by the way) and this council of black pastors over recognition of gay marriage is merely the latest (though perhaps the greatest) example of how even minorities disagree.
