Community Plea... A man wears a shirt that reads "Black Lives Matter." Government Response... A man wears a shirt that reads "Racially Biased White Police Lives Matter."
Which, if YOU do something that results in the police being called, especially if you already have a conviction for armed robbery (as with the most recent case getting attention), you MIGHT want to be more cooperative with them?
Which, how many ARMED criminals were arrested on any given day, and yet still not killed? The vast majority of officers retire having never fired their weapons except on a range, so why isn’t THAT news?
What IS the role of “the media” in promoting violence? and “outrage”? Maybe complete stories, including all the facts, and making the front page only after those facts are actually known? Nah, that doesn’t sell ads or commercial time.
ALL lives matter, nobody has an exclusive.
