Cops in the States do cops in the states things. I'm so tired.
Yeah but, yeah but see, see though the thing is though, but see he was white this time. So. Y'know. Might make the news. Oh, wait it did.
Member that time they found all those unmarked graves of people reported missing behind the Jackson Mississippi police station? Member that? Got less coverage than the Star Wars Holiday Special.
LOL yes because minorities shot by the cops never make the news. 🤦♂️
Because not long ago they didn't.
"Not long ago"? Like 40 years ago?
Rodney King ring a bell?
Did you read about every one of the 229 Black people (ranging in age from 3 months to 88 yrs old) killed by police in the year after George Floyd's murder? Or every one of the 27% of police killings that involved Black people in 2021? Or every one of the 2164 Black people killed by the police since 2015?
Yeah, I didn't think so.

Of course I didn't read about all of them. But I did read about several of them, on a regular basis.
How many white people did you read about being murdered by cops? Yeah, didn't think so.
White people being killed by police has always been noted. Indigenous, Black and Brown people not so much.
Oh no, did all your fancy statistics dry up?
