Where’s outrage over killing 6-year-old boy?

Where is the outrage over the shooting of a 6-year-old white boy by two black police officers in Louisiana?

The only thing this kid was guilty of is sitting in his father’s car. He was not a threat to two strong cops with guns!

One year after Ferguson we still hear shouts of racism and injustice for the black boy.

All we hear for this child is the sound of silence. Do white lives not matter?
