Why the races mentioned I wonder?
Consider the source...
To sensationalize. To tilt public opinion one way or the other. To inflame emotions. Because the reporter[s] are sorry bastards.
“Why the races mentioned I wonder?”
The same reason some do here on FR.
To attract a wider audience.
To make it seem to be about race. I think maybe it's about something else.
Races were mentioned in this case to make it clear that a white cop is being tried for the murder of an innocent black man. Sadly, that IS actual news.
