Gilbet Collar an unarmed 18 year old white male who was under the influence of drugs was gun down on october 6, 2012 by officer Trevis Aunston. Trevis Austion was never convicted despite the public pressure the judge refused to put charges and said the officer acted on self-defense. A case similar to this one was Michael Brown. An unarmed 18 year old black male who was also under the influence of drugs was also gun down on august 9, 2014 by officer Dorian Johnson. The difference between two was that when Gilbert Collar was killed it didn't get as much publicity as Michael Brown did. But Gilbert Collar case was re mention during the protest for Michael Brown.
