It's not really the country, it's the politics and power that the media/propaganda machine it is aligned with. If this kind of thing happened in a rural town in a southern state, it would be the same thing. There would be documentaries and opinion pieces and talking heads on television wringing their hands and clutching their pearls. But because it's in the premiere leftist / globalist city and state with a majority-minority police forced headed by a black chief of police, is sanctioned by unions, and all overseen by the Democrat party, the facts are quietly mumbled over, followed by confidently unfounded assertions about how racist this is is insinuations that white supremacy and/or privilege must be behind it. See, at this point admitting anything else implies that their entire platform has been built on lies from stem to stern, or at the very least completely unproven and now failed claims. So they have no choice but to keep digging. Zero introspection. None of this can possibly be the result of any of their failures, it must be due to racism. And as we know from their litany of unfounded claims, only they are qualified to address. It's extremely convenient for them. And every year of failed policies that go by, the more they assert without evidence that racism has continued to become worse.
