Really? Have any black rioters been shot by police despite the police being assaulted, shot at, had explosives, firebombs and acid thrown at them, thousands of innocent people being assaulted, whole city blocks burned to the ground?
How is that phrase even allowed in journalism??
The cops were in backdown mode precisely because of the Black Lives Matter objections to their use of excessive force.
But they came on strong in the end because they are always waiting for orders to go all out on anyone when the decision is made by higher authority.
