If You Ever Thought The U.S. Was A Land Of Equality, Take A Look At These Two Screenshots

http://www.upworthy.com/if-you-ever-thought-the-us-was-a-land-of-equality-take-a-look-at-these-two-screenshots?c=hpstream

In 2014, a policeman in Ferguson, Missouri, fatally shot Michael Brown multiple times. Michael was unarmed.

In 2012, James Holmes walked into a theater in Aurora, Colorado. James was armed. That day, he shot 12 people dead and injured 70.

Guess how the media reacted?

But I'm really surprised that no one here has a comment on this very depressing comparison.
