Media everywhere talks about the “white” police officer killing the “unarmed black” man. Try getting them to mention race when the races are reversed or when its the far more common black on black murders. Has anyone every heard the media say, “a black man killed an unarmed white man today,” yet it happens nearly every day somewhere in America. I would have a lot more sympathy for the most recent black victim if there was a uniform response to all murders and not the volcano of indignation every time a white kills a black and stone cold silence when it happens the other way around.
For every one case like this (assuming that the video is the whole story and the media narrative is correct, which is always doubtful), there are about a hundred cases of armed blacks killing or maiming unarmed whites, and probably a thousand cases of black on black violent crime. The fact that we get this selective racial cherry-picking when it comes to reporting these stories tells us that it isn't the fact that a violent crime that has been committed that gets the usual suspects worked up. Rather, it's the ability to score political points that counts.
