A newspaper in Memphis quickly apologize after protestors complained about its choice of headline in the wake of the deadly police shooting in Dallas.

“Gunman targeted whites,” read the lead story headline in the Commercial Appeal, a member of the USA Today network. The headline was accurate, as Dallas gunman Micah Xavier Johnson explicitly talked about wanted to kill white police officers before he was eliminated via robot bomb.

The paper is apologizing because someone is crying racism necause it stating accurately that a racist is targeting whites for death. Free speech is in danger.

Thanks for posting.

The racist BLM movement has completely taken over. Memphis is the third most dangerous city in America, and now it is being run by the thugs. The black interim police director marched WITH the BLM activists as they occupied the I-40 bridge, the main thoroughfare between TN and AR for four hours — praying and holding hands with them for the cameras as he rebranded their lawlessness as some kind of civil rights protest — and meanwhile fashioning himself as a successor to MLK. He’s a BLM sympathizer. It’s sickening.

The rule of law in Memphis has been destroyed. Citizens, especially white citizens, can no longer count on the police to protect them. This is Mugabe-style ‘justice’ being imposed on a fearful, compliant public. There is no sanctuary for the law-abiding citizen. BLM has been given a free pass to do as they please, and appears it will soon result in bloodshed. Just don’t count on hearing the truth about it from a Memphis newspaper.

One of the protest leaders, Pastor Earle Fisher of the Memphis Grassroots Organization Coalition, said following a meeting with Commercial Appeal {Newspaper} employees that the situation highlighted “the need for cultural sensitivity training.”

Sounds familiar...........
