I'm not so sure. Thanks to selective reporting, we now know a lot about Sergeant Ryan O'Neill, including "racist remarks" he supposedly made to other officers. Really? Are they going to post his home address next?

We know next to nothing about the perp Mr. Logan other than he is dead, had a big knife and was caught breaking into cars. Was he some kind of hero mainly or solely due to his skin color? Does he have a lengthy rap sheet? If so, then what is on it?

The Orlando night club shootings taught us that Muslims were superior to gays on the libtard victimology scale. Is South Bend going to teach us that black is also superior to gay?

Don't get me wrong. It is sort of amusing to see Mayor Buttgig twist in the wind on the PC gallows the left has created. But these competitions for victimology status often do not end well.

"Since O'Neill was dispatched to a 'suspicious person' call, his lights and sirens were not activated in order to avoid scaring off the individual, officials say.

O'Neill told investigators he saw person whose body was half-outside a Hondra CRV in the apartment complex parking lot. That's when he reportedly got out of his squad car and asked the person if he was the vehicle owner. The person, later identified as Eric J. Logan, responded he was the owner.

Sgt. O'Neill also noticed the man had a purse wedged in his clothing and was holding a 6-8 in.-long knife in his right hand. This is when O'Neill told investigators he retreated and told the man several times to drop the weapon.

The man allegedly refused, approaching the officer while raising the knife. Sgt. O'Neill told detectives he was nearly backed up against his squad car, roughly 7.5 feet away from the man, when he fired two gunshots. One went through the Honda CRV while the other hit Eric Logan in the abdomen.

When the shooting happened, O'Neill told police Logan remained standing. The officer said he was then cut by the knife Logan had been holding. Prosecutor Cotter said it's unclear if Logan intentionally threw the knife or if he released it due to being shot.

Cotter further said the knife found at the shooting was taken from a vehicle on Taylor Street. The owner of the tactical knife has identified it as his.

The purse was taken from a different vehicle and also was identified by its owner.

So true. if the Americans could only stay upwind of the propagandist's fanned flames of victimology of the collective.
