Was the perp black and the officer white? If so it would be hypocrisy to not prosecute it as a hate crime.
I think the mass murder at the church was horrific. God bless those people for their merciful response — returning good for evil.
There is, however, a lot of hate in a lot of hearts other than just a rogue white punk.
The criminal is black and the dead officer is a Korean immigrant. Perhaps many here will rejoice that an immigrant “who took someone else’s job” is dead or some such nonsense...
