Did you ever notice that when someone is murdered, the media asks folks about the victim and they always have nice things to say?

"Everyone loved him."
"He was such a nice gut."
"A great father."
etc.
They don't mention the two page rap sheet and the three years spent behind bars and his habit of hanging around nightclubs a three in the morning. And the seven other kids he has from 4 other women. I wonder.

    I thought the same thing.  Seems the police are always going after and killing Class A citizens who wouldn't hurt a fly.

    I notice that you hear 'he was just getting his life back together ' a lot. I think that means he had a violent criminal history,  but hadn't been arrested for a few days. This post was edited by Jane S at July 21, 2022 9:30 PM MDT

    And when it's a kid, the kid is always described as an honor student.

    Described as wanting to be a doctor when he grew up so he could help people.
