[Gay State Conservative]

I wish the author had rephrased the "headline" of hs piece.To say it's not *just* is to say that it's a "racist cop/innocent black" among other things.Given that the evidence is increasingly suggesting that the dead guy was *anything* but innocent (the video of the assault of the store clerk minutes before his death,drugs found in the dead guy's system,the cop having sustained a facial fracture while struggling with him) it would have been better to say "this is not a case of a racist white cop and an innocent black youth".

I don't know how much press this is getting Down Under but as a regular viewer of the BBC News Hour it's sure getting intense coverage by them.And just a few minutes ago Deutsche Welle had a report from the city.

Andrew Bolt has to be very careful writing anything about race, and the headline may reflect that. He's previously been held to be in violation of Section 18C of our Racial Discrimination Act, for articles he has written in one of the most blatant anti-freedom of speech, anti-freedom of the press, prosecutions in Australian history. And, yes, the case is getting a lot of coverage in the Australian press.
