A Black cop in St Louis County, Missouri, hits a suspect, once, on the hand, with his baton…and gets hit with a felony indictment, by the same DA that declined to charge a White cop for shooting an unarmed Black kid and killing him. [Correction: both victims were black, but the point still stands that a black officer was charged with a felony while the white officer walks for killing an unarmed teenager.]

Two types of justices for available for you..if you get shot, killed, or hurt..hope it is a black cop...better chance of getting some kind justice.
A Washington Post op-ed declared that McCulloch has “a long record of protecting police in [cases like Wilson’s], and his decision not to recommend a specific charge to the grand jury essentially guaranteed there would be no indictment.” But on July 25, 2014, just two weeks before Brown was gunned down, a St. Louis County Police Department press release revealed that McCulloch would be prosecuting another police officer, Dawon Gore, for felony assault—because he struck a man’s hand with his baton.

are you REALLY unable to weight the 2 cases on evidence , without bringing skin colour into it ?

I am curious as to how you have drawn similiarities to these two cases.
Or was there just an arguement and the officer struck the man with his baton breaking his fingers?

Both are cases of cops in St. Louis area doing bodily harm to unarmed civilians when alternatives were available.. That's where the similarities end, though, and hence, my point here.
The investigation into Wilson was shoddy, suspect, and half-assed, so we really can't say for certain what really went down. However, there was no such investigative bungling in the black cop's case
Was the black officer attacked? Did the man attempt to take his firearm?
