Cover up

In the aftermath of George Floyd’s death last year, employers offered black workers time off to deal with the news, and UCLA suspended a professor who refused to grade his supposedly traumatized black students more leniently than their nonblack peers.
Such gestures may have been well-meaning, but they were also nonsensical and reeked of condescension. Are black psyches really this fragile, and are blacks so starved for exemplars that miscreants must be treated like martyrs? Should Floyd’s death matter more to them than the huge number of black homicides that don’t involve police? And why would people who aren’t black be any less disturbed by a video showing a police officer kneeling on the neck of a defenseless suspect for nine minutes?
The protests that followed Floyd’s death rested on two assumptions. The first is that Floyd, a career criminal and drug addict, was somehow representative of black America, which is not only false but deeply insulting. The second is that police acted out of racial animus, which has never been proven. This is what happens when racial identity becomes the centerpiece of politics and public life in a multiracial society.
The political left often pretends to pine for a postracial America, but that’s the last thing it really wants. I recall a guy who ran for president a little while back after talking about how there’s no black America or white America or Asian America, just a United States of America. And then he became president and stopped talking like that. Instead, he started talking about racist policing and black voter suppression, and he embraced divisive racial provocateurs like Al Sharpton. All the colorblind talk went out the window.

It is understandable to make this assumption because liberals believe that blacks are racially inferior.

Knife fight at a nebulous location (not a residence) with No 911 call somehow morphed into a Domestic. Chief said they never made it to location, so he says, how would they know if there was a knife?

They wouldn’t. The liberals are trying to make him a saint, not a racist murderer.
liberals believe that blacks are racially inferior.
Your right and they do anything to keep that message going the media is their friend.
Libs are like Scarlett O'Hara's father in Gone With the Wind:
"Now, remember, Katie Scarlett, you must be firm but gentle with inferiors, especially darkies".
