Holder's double standard on a 'Ferguson' in Utah

The Obama administration should be even-handed in its racial investigations

There are police shootings, and then there are police shootings. The Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, who seem to show up at such shootings before the lawyers or the rescue squads, apparently haven’t heard about the shooting of Dillon Taylor, 20, in Salt Lake City. They’re still among the missing.

Mr. Taylor’s family and a few friends continue protests outside state and federal government offices, seeking answers to their questions about the why and how of the shooting of Mr. Taylor, who was white and unarmed, outside a convenience store by a police officer, still unidentified, and described only as “not white.”

Television news crews have yet to decamp to provide around-the-clock news coverage, even though the Taylor shooting has a lot in common with the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo.
