64 (mostly) Black people shot in Chicago over the past 3 days.
But the media spends HOURS talking about 1 Black man shot in Kenosha.
Was Jacob Blake a big-time VIP in the Black community or something?

Grief can fog your mind. It's hard enough to lose a child and grieve their death without the national media circus shining the spotlight on you. I can't imagine she ever expected to be involved in a highly viewed press conference setting like that, and to do something new like that when you're already fraught with grief? I'd use a teleprompter too.

He had a warrant?
No wait. He was black. I get it.
He was also a cop assaulting, domestic violence perpetrator with a warrant out for a felony 3rd degree sexual assault which the cops were there to arrest him for. He broke away from an arrest attempt and had a knife on him, reportedly scrambling in to the car to retrieve something ignoring multiple warnings.
But nah. It's bEc0z H3z BlAK.
It's like some of you are just wanting it to be true that unarmed black men are mercilessly gunned down by police for nothing constantly.
