Nothing says fair like putting a mugshot of Zimmerman in "jailhouse orange" next to a 5 year old photo of "angel faced" Trayvon.
So what do we have here?
Laquan McDonald in cap and gown.
A young man I'm sure would have become a nuclear physicist had he not been gunned down in the prime of his life.
(McDonald had a juvenile record, though those records have not been made public so the nuclear physicist's thing probably wasn't in the cards )
Video 176
It starts out:
Eight police officers were called to the scene after reports of someone stealing car stereos and trying to break into vehicles with a knife.
Then:
A cop gets the call... a man is in the middle of the road wielding a knife. While he's driving to the scene another man standing in front of a car (maybe his) points in the direction of the suspect. From behind the cop see's a guy skipping, trotting, then walking in the middle of the road with a knife in his hand. Doesn't everybody do that? Other cops are already at the scene, weapons drawn, when he arrives. There is no audio. I can only imagine the cops shouted...drop the knife get on the ground...or words to that effect. The guy does not heed any warning and continues along and subsequently shot.
When I first saw this video I thought this guy is either an imbecile or on drugs. Turns out its both. During the autopsy they found PCP in his system. Most MSM sources leave out that little tidbit.
After watching the video someone tell me this guy doesn't bear some responsibility in his own death. Who the fuck walks in the middle of the road brandishing a knife expecting not to draw attention from the police? He deliberately taunted the cops ...even goading them into shooting him.
But 16 times you say!
If it was once would you expect a different outcome?
Contrast Laquan McDonald's tale of woe with this one.
Amanda Blackburn a pastors wife mother of one and pregnant with another was in her home minding her own business provoking no one when she was viciously attacked by 3 blacks raped and shot 3 times once in the head.
Why isn't the MSM going to bat for her?
Where are the demonstrations?
The protesters?
Another example with a slightly different twist:
Two suspects in custody for Chicago gang hit on 9-year-old Tyshawn Lee
Gang members face a murder charge for the brutal execution of a 9-year-old boy who was lured into an alley and shot earlier this month, police said Friday.
Chicago Police Superintendent McCarthy said they believe the suspects targeted Tyshawn because of his father's gang ties.
"It was act of barbarism, the assassination of a 9-year-old child as a gang retaliation to get back at his father," McCarthy said.
If the likes of Jesse Jackson and Rahm Emanuel and the rest of the citizenry are going to bust a gut over Laquan surely innocent 9 year old Tyshawn deserves some consideration. At least one small demonstration maybe? But alas...it's a non-story. The murders who executed him were of the "wrong" skin color.
(Google "Justice for Tyshawn" click images... let me know how many black people you see with a sign)
Oh...and Barry.. he put his two cents in on Laquan but kept his mouth shut about Tyshawn. He likes a sure thing.

-----------------------------------
The epilogue:
The "murdering cop" goes to jail and the McDonald family winds up collecting $5 million in a lawsuit.
In Amanda's case the perps go to jail and the family won't see a dime.
Oh... and poor Tyshawn can't catch a break. His mother set up a GoFundMe page to pay for Tyshawn's funeral. She took the money and bought a new car.

Any mention of this story. I think not. The media did their damnedest to bury it.
It's just not their kind of story.
