I don't wish to continue this conversation with you. I don't need a media outlet to tell me what I've seen through my own eyes.I think you are dead wrong about the rhetoric. The media doesn't just report what's happening, and I cannot believe anyone in this day and age can truly believe that every media outlet isn't pushing their own agenda, that being ratings and money for them. They are reporting what sells and gets viewership. Currently that is trashing police. The rhetoric in EVERY police involved shooting of a minority I have seen reported in recent years has ALWAYS immediately been that the cop is at fault and racially motivated until proven otherwise.
I don't think you get my point with the paperwork. No cop wants to go through an internal affairs review, which happens for every officer involved shooting. It is months of agony. Constant questioning and paperwork. Just waiting for them to slip up so they can be crucified in the media and the department can be praised for "doing the right thing". No cop wants to put themselves through that, so WHY would they shoot someone just because? The answer is that 99% of them wouldn't and there is something wrong with the tiny group that would.
