Since Jason Arnie Owens is white, and police believe in equal opportunity killings in less diverse states like WV, police brutality should matter more to all sorts of people.

Federal police like the US Marshals get a hell of a lot more training than local sheriff's deputies, so they should be less trigger happy.
