Right after the George Floyd trial wrapped up for the day, we have a man crash his car into a police barrier at the Capitol. The talking heads on CNN & FOX are now talking about "brave police officers" putting their lives on the line to protect us from danger. They even discussed how it was okay that the suspect was shot even though he only had a knife. Just seems like a strange juxtaposition here.

The suspect in DC was black, and the officer killed was white. While we know that shouldn't matter, it seems pertinent these days. Is this just a coincidence? Just seems weird to me watching the news anchors quickly go from pushing the police brutality angle to now droning on and on about how police are our heroes. And to pivot from pushing the racist cop narrative in one case to not even wanting to know if the police-involved shooting (of another black man) was justified... really stood out to me. 🤔
