Cuffed and pinned to the ground. Knee to the upper back for 14 minutes. Mocked by police.

And yet...no national outrage. No rioting. No looting. Media didn't seem to care. Why? Because he was white. One of an estimated 400 white people killed by police in 2019 (exact numbers are hard to come by as most just list shooting deaths by police which were 370)


The media is making a fool out of a lot of people in this country with their selective outrage.

This thread will fade away at maybe two pages, because it does not fit the narrative of the left. The left cannot bring themselves to admit what really happens in life. Only select things matter.

Facts don't promote the agenda of the left, especially those in the MSM.

Both this and the current case are incredibly rare. As such both are equally newsworthy. Yet this got virtually no airplay. Maybe white people need to burn their neighborhoods to the ground and loot stores to get the media to support them???

Same exact situation as George Floyd. Dies just like George Floyd. Police go free....


No national outcry. No social media or mainstream media outcry about his life. All because he was white. He doesn't fit the false media narrative that is being peddled to Americans. It's sick.

Yep, sadly that doesn't fit any narrative for the media--the vast majority of media is not searching for the truth.

The public is slowly starting to realize that the media is only in it for the money.

Find a narrative, select a story to fit the narrative, tweak the story if needed to fake it, gain viewers and generate buzz, and boom! the price of advertising goes up during their airing time.

All media is entertainment--too bad the media so HEAVILY influences every single thing in this country that people do, seemingly.

What power the fake and biased, money hungry media holds. Something has to change--it's a dark road ahead if not, for sure.

..and no one has ever heard of him.
there’s exactly the same amount of evidence that this was racially motivated as there was in the current Minnesota case:
zero.

I know about it, since it was in fact in the media but it took 3 years until the media got the the video . The incident is almost identical, but the Dallas PD brushed it under the rug for 3 years. The only footage which was available was the cops body-cams.

Well, the footage didn't come out until 3 years after the event.

Also, he was off his mental health meds (police + mentally ill is a totally other topic) and he had cocaine in his system that contributed to his death.

Also, there were not several witnesses begging the cops to check his pulse and make sure he was ok.

So, not exactly apples to apples.

Media knows white on white police killings do not generate the amount of reveunue compared to when cops kill blacks. Even cops kill Hispanics or native Americans still does not generate the same revenue or outrage as a cop killing a black person.
