Daunte Wright

They're doing it again. The New York Times is aggressively hiding relevant facts on a matter of public interest simply in order to promote the narrative of black victimhood.
OK, we didn't get away with it last time, but we probably will this time. Let's try!
Daunte Wright is the half-black man fatally shot by a police officer in Minnesota earlier this year. According to Nexis, he has appeared in well over 100 articles in the Times. But one thing Times readers will never be told is that Wright was facing criminal charges for trying to choke a woman to death while robbing her at gunpoint.
They will also never hear about the lawsuit accusing Wright and an accomplice of shooting a guy during a carjacking.
In a bold departure from customary practice, the Times did make two passing references to another lawsuit claiming Wright shot a guy in the head, permanently disabling him, but in both cases, quickly added: "The lawsuit offers no direct evidence tying Mr. Wright to the shooting."
And those are just the crimes he's accused of committing lately, during the brief year and a half since he turned 18 and was no longer treated as a juvenile.

He’s dead, deserves to be and that’s all I cared about.
If we didn’t have Satan’s animals running loose in the world we wouldn’t have cops needing to suffer to protect innocent American citizens!
Same here.
I am bothered by the media and the lefts deification of crude course criminals. Of course it is simply to push the narrative of blacks being a suppressed minority.
Wrong!!! Coroner said he died of heart failure due to massive self-intake of illegal drugs.
What’s with the Beavis haircut?
