With almost no confirmed details about what happened or why, it's nevertheless time to stoke more race riots
I’d like to ask a question of whoever makes the style decisions at the Washington Post. Does the paper now intend to put the race of the primary players in the headline of every story? Every crime story? Or only the crime stories in which it appears that a police officer might have done something wrong - even though no one has the police side of the story yet and there’s no way to know for sure?
Because as far as I can see, the Post does not write headlines like “Black man shoots store owner,” or “Black woman commits carjacking,” or “White former cabinet secretary violates gross negligence statute.” They don’t write headlines like this because it would be completely inappropriate to do so. The race of the people involved in a news story is not what matters. It’s what was done that you’re reporting, not the skin color of the people involved.
Race card not needed.
Black/white or not, this shoot gives cops a bad name. Shooting from behind a squad car at a safe distance, in broad daylight, at a guy whose laying his back with his hands in the air... inexcusable. And, it has legs... When one sees something like this, how can you think that the police know what they are doing?
WaPo reporting now from Dallas TX: White male eats lunch at his desk. Excessive case of privilege on display as beef teriyaki consumed without regard for those with only a bologna sandwich.
I love bologna
Does baloney have pork in it? Is there a mussie working there? I call harassment if one did.
There are bad cops out there. A couple of years ago a Denver cop beat up a kid in LoDo who happened to be the kid of a cop from another town. His Dad listened to it happening from his kid’s cell phone. DPD fired him but the police union and civil service people forced DPD to rehire him. It’s almost impossible to get rid of a bad cop here.
They are starting a fire that will imoluate them.
