Why haven't they done any follow-up news about the white teen in Philly shot by a black cop? I saw one brief segment.

Oh, yeah, I forgot that Johnny Depp and that comedian getting attacked on stage is much more important news.

      I haven’t heard about it at all, so that tells something of how widespread it isn’t. The pick-and-choose media crowd most likely isn’t interested in the item.

    It boggles the mind.  Well, for those of us that use ours.

    Preteen (12) and the kid was armed when the officer drew his sidearm, but unlike most white officers who shoot black teenagers, Edsaul Mendoza is facing charges of murder one and three simultaneously. The boy dropped the weapon when ordered to and complied with all police commands, not resisting at all, and the cop shot him anyway.

    Black cop killing white fella anywhere is so rare that if it rates a mention at all it would have to go in the category of rare and weird.
    The reason we scream about white cops killing unarmed blacks (who pose no threat in behaviour or language) is because it happens three times more frequently than white cops killing other whites, while only 13% of the American population is black. That means racial bias is a factor in the white cops' behaviours; they are jumpy, scared and easily triggered because they carry a host of preconceived ideas. That's why the slogan Black Lives Matter is so important.
