    Yeah. And this website looks very right wing so they don’t include that perspective.

    What was the point of shooting him when he was running away on foot?

      Newsnation is doing that thing where they try to be “unbiased” but still hired Chris Cuomo.

      They’re doing that Semafor thing where they walk the line the first few years, but still selectively report/omit things so they don’t get dinged on things like MBFC.

      They used to be WGN, and own a shit ton of local stations in the rust belt as well, so I’m predicting they pull some Sinclair shenanigans eventually too.

      It’s not the biggest problem in America right now, but I’ve been keeping an eye on them with how often they’re being posted now.

        Their landing page modal on my phone literally said “ONE NATION UNDER GOD” 😅

          And if you look at MBFC they lean left.

          Because they’re going right up to the line but not crossing it. It’s meant to be a source that can’t be immediately dismissed

      Because Tennessee v Garner allows for this to happen. If the police believe that the fleeing suspect poses immediate harm to them or others then they’re allowed to use lethal force. He drive a car through a shopping mall and injured people. Cars are 4,000+ pound missiles.

      I also want to point out that legal justification does not always make right. But at least understand the situation.
