A white man in Texas planted 4 bombs around the police station and under a police car, before spraying the facility with bullets from an automatic weapon, before leading the police on a 14 minute car chase while he fired at them with the same automatic weapon, and upon being killed by a sniper, the first thing the news did was cut to his father who talked about how he “just snapped. the police took his kid from him. they called him a terrorist.” 

This man literally performed a terrorist act and the news is playing the sympathy angle. An actual criminal is treated like a mentally disturbed person who lost a kid. 

But an unarmed Black child is killed on a playground and every picture of him where his pants are sagging is plastered on the news while they play up him being a ‘thug’ despite being fucking 12.

This is America. This is the fuckin world we live in.
