Quote:He isn't getting played. Racism in policing is alive and well. That is real.

 

Unfortunately that's a narrative that doesn't tell the whole truth.

 

Whites commit fewer crimes, yet are by far the most killed by police.

 

That's the true story that doesn't fit the story that's preferred to be told.

 

Why?

 

These things don't happen when whites are killed by police.  So, politicians trying to whip them into a frenzy wouldn't produce the desired effect.  It wouldn't work.

 

It's all about "disruption" under the veil of "progress."

 

Funny how all this "progress" only takes us backwards when you look at the end result.  Race relations haven't been worse in a long, long time.  A lot of things are worse now than they've been in a long while.

 

Cops killing anyone is a tragedy.  But the larger picture is how situations like these are exploited by politicians for nefarious means.
