De Facto Civil War Between Police and the Public?
#77
(10-07-2016, 09:21 PM)Warren Dew Wrote: Actually police always killed white people in similar circumstances, too.  It's just that the police killings of whites are not what's popular to report these days, so when the police shot and killed an unarmed white woman for driving off from a traffic stop, or shot and killed an unarmed white man for lying under his car at a gas station, it isn't reported in national media.

All such events would be reported by local media, and suspicious ones often end up in the national media.

Here's an unarmed white guy killed by police, who was called out by BLM.  It became a national story.  But if you read the account it looks like suicide by cop.

Here's another white guy killed by cops, also covered in national news as well as local. This appears to be a big deal in Lansing.

Here's another one.  Video here. This one did not seem to have been picked up by the national news, although a blog has a story on it.

You word think conservative outlets would pick up stories like this (if only as a counter narrative to BLM), but they tend to dismiss them.
