Memphis Powder Keg

This is far from being swept under the rug. It is the lead story on every news site I click on.

While it doesn't fit the "white cop kill black innocent" narrative, it is being held up as "institutional" racism.

Now all cops are being trained to kill innocent young black men, not just the white ones. Who set forth those rules and training? Why, evil middle aged white men, of course. So it doesn't matter the color of the cop's skin. It is the culture of policing in America.

The police who killed Tyre Nichols were Black. But they might still have been driven by racism

In general, their results suggest that the issue has to do with officer bias, conscious or unconscious, that casts Black people as inherently more dangerous than their white counterparts.

...white supremacy isn’t only embodied by individual racists hiding their faces underneath pointed hoods, but it’s also upheld by police officers, healthcare providers, schoolteachers, business leaders, and others

It’s time to move to a more nuanced discussion of the way police violence endangers Black lives

just about 12 hrs later and on yahoo's main page the only thing "trending" is 1/2 way down the page, about the scorpion unit being disbanded. No more top of the page stories, op-ed's etc. Granted, as more info comes out articles will pop up again. Even the latest shooting in a trendy neighborhood in ca has vanished. A story about jay leno's garage being cancelled is higher up the "story page"

Wapo has 3 blurbs at the top, nyt, 1 with the rest dedicated to everything but.

Notice the Asian hate crime shootings" in ca have literally disappeared. Once again a karcrashian gets more print.

And with oscar nominations coming out, even they'll get dropped lower. Unless one of them, SURPRISE! shows her tits, again.

about the scorpion unit being disbanded.

When I think of a scorpion, I thing of an aggressive insect with claws and a large stinger. A very nasty creature.

Why would a police unit, which is supposed to serve and protect the community they work for, want the image of something like a scorpion.

When the only tool one has is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Your right, not a good moniker for a peace keeping organization. On the other hand, crime is rampant there. Almost like someone (insert BLM) caused the policing to be cut back and fail in the past 3 years. Imagine that!
