    Uh no, its not a major story only because the cop is black. Had that cop been white it would have.

    Just like how the Justine Damond - Mohamed Noor case was not a major international story.

    Wait, what? So, doctor, you're advocating that kids be grabbed and held by the throat as part of routine policing? Is that the system you use in Australia? Perhaps you have some video and articles about that? Oh, wait. No, I guess not, since it is "the system working as it should," it won't be news at all.

    Do I really need to spell it out for you?

    Bad cop doing bad thing gets suspended and investigated by IA = system working to punish bad behavior (assuming IA does its job correctly) = boring media story.

    That's a major fail. Produce the equivalent narrative. How much rioting, looting, burning, etc., occurred in that case? Any? Did they even march or protest? What were their demands for justice?

    You've got it backward. It looks like I need to spell it out for you.

    Your outrageously nonsensical assessments deserve all the ridicule that can be heaped on them.

    Of course it would be major news and spread worldwide, if it were a white cop handling a black kid that way, for then, you see, it would be racist, because that's when BLACK LIVES MATTER and "he might have killed the kid."

    It would not matter to the narrative that the kid in fact lived, just like it doesn't matter that the police might be dealing with thugs trying to kill them, as in the Michael Brown case.

    Yes I know that is the narrative you guys are trying to push, that white abusive cops who often get away with minimal or no punishment are somehow victims. Meanwhile Noor got 12 years for being scared, maybe having inadequate training and making a stupid split second reaction.

    Whoosh! No, but that was quite funny, even if stupidly so.

    The movement I would like to see utterly exposed is the concerted effort to essentially undermine the US, to sever it from its constitutional heritage and moral moorings. The Dems are the party of just such "progress," but this does not mean that they all agree on the final outcome.

    The false narrative of systemic racism is merely a tool in this effort, a convenient lie to lure the masses and lull them into a state where they can mold and mobilize them to mindlessly attack and destabilize the very institutions everyone relies on for their prosperity and protection.

    Systemic racism is a problem in Canada and Australia too. Fortunately, our leaders recognize it is a problem and are trying to prevent/minimize it. Denial of the problem by leadership means it only gets worse. Change of that sort takes generations.

    You may be too "woke" to accept the truth, but even so, others might be willing. I just found this breakdown of what is going on from Tucker Carlson's perspective. Starting around 10:00 he goes through the short list of unarmed blacks killed by cops last year.

    Tucker: Kneeling will never be enough for the mob

    China wants to conquer the world and they will spend money to set off riots here even if blacks are murdered as two were here in Indianapolis by other blacks downtown.

    Australia is so crooked that they put Cardinal Pell in prison for a year and then admitted that they had no evidence against him. There is no bill of rights in Australia and the government has been confiscating guns there.

    Well it’s great to see the democrats finally come thru on their promise to the African American communities across the land. Their newly acquired Ewallets getting them free food and shoes, they finally did it. Great work guys!

    No, systemic racism is a liberal fabrication that permeates the Dim/progressive/liberal/leftists news! This is why NOTHING that does not further this goal (reducing America to a 3rd world status) is "overlooked" by the MSM.
    Are there racist - of course, but systemic - only in progressive dreams!!!!!!
    Eliminate those that profit from R A C I S M Sharpton, Jackson Dims, etc. & race problems will cease save for the few that will always be such!

    If/when blacks wake up and literally see the plantation the Dims have fenced them in on, they will rise like the recent riots, but this time it will be against the left!!!!

    It should have become obvious by now that one of the lefts primary tools today is the charge of RACIST if a black& white conflict occurs. What is also so obvious is that this has been so OVERUSED that it has lost/is losing any effectiveness it may have had in past situations; modern version of "Boy who cried WOLF!"

    So, is America systemically
    RACIST? Only in the hopes & dreams of the DIMs!

    That is great! The USA has solved systemic racism, something no other country in the world has been able to do so far. That must be why people of different races get along so well in the US and appear so equal across the society in terms of educational and economic opportunity, health and justice. How did you do it?

    For one thing, we believe that all people are descended from Adam and Eve and from Noah and his wife and their three sons and their wives. And so we know that race is a political construct and does not exist in reality.
