On March 21, a 26-year-old black man named Dexter Reed was pulled over for a seatbelt violation by four plainclothes Chicago police officers. When Reed refused to comply with orders to roll down his window, the officers surrounded the vehicle and instructed Reed to unlock the doors; in response, Reed pulled out a gun and began shooting, hitting one officer in the forearm. The police returned fire, and Reed was killed. The entire interaction was captured on police body cameras, the footage from which was released to the public last week. The Chicago Office of Police Accountability, a law-enforcement civilian oversight board, confirmed after a review of the footage that Reed “fired first,” and that a handgun was recovered from the front passenger seat of his car.

All a casual consumer of news would know about the death of Dexter Reed is that Chicago police shot a black man. But that’s hardly a complete picture.

If one didn’t know better, one might think that certain journalists are intentionally stoking racial tensions, burying critical information in their coverage of certain officer-involved shootings.

And just in time for a presidential election.

The Washington Post published a story Wednesday about a 26-year-old black man in Chicago killed following a shootout with police last month. Readers have to scan eight paragraphs under the headline, “Police fire 96 shots in 41 seconds, killing Black man during traffic stop,” before learning bodycam footage indicates Dexter Reed fired first, wounding an officer.

“Dexter Reed’s mother remembers the last time she saw her son alive. ‘Mom, I’m going for a ride,’ he told her, before heading out in the car that he had purchased just three days earlier,” the Post’s story began. “Reed, 26, was killed that same day, when tactical-unit police officers fired 96 bullets at him within 41 seconds, according to Chicago’s Civilian Office of Police Accountability, or COPA, which investigates allegations of police misconduct and police shootings.”

The University of Alberta and other Canadian universities are awarding hundreds of substantial graduate and undergraduate scholarships for scientific research just now, but white and Asian students need not apply.

Whites and Asians are ineligible for these particular government grants in the health and humanities that pay out $6,000 for the school year. These students might well have attained the highest level of academic achievement, but the Trudeau Liberals have ruled that one class of scholarships are reserved only for students who identify as Black.

It’s “black history month.” So what? I’m not black; I don’t care. In fairness, I’ve never cared about any of these ethnocentric “celebrate diversity” kinds of garbage divisions Democrats try to cram down our throats, mostly because I celebrate accomplishments, not irrelevant characteristics over which no one has any control. I’m old school; I prefer to judge people based on who they are as people, not their melanin levels. It’s why I would’ve made a horrible Democrat at any time in their history.

The final report into anti-Black racism in the Toronto Police Service released Thursday by the Ontario Human Rights Commission tells us nothing new from its previous findings in two interim reports released in 2020 and 2018, based on research using police data that started in 2017.

A new report by the Ontario Human Rights Commission has found Black people in Toronto are disproportionately stopped and searched by police despite the Ontario government’s efforts to regulate so-called “street checks.”

I have no reason to believe that our politicized Human Rights grifters will act in good faith.

Forget George Floyd’s drug overdose or any of the other cases hyped by BLM. There is an actual bad case that comes from a politically inconvenient case.

To understand why it’s politically inconvenient, consider who the mayor of Jackson, MI is.

Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin –- who was convicted of murdering George Floyd — was stabbed by another inmate at a federal prison in Arizona on Friday, a source told The Associated Press.

Chauvin was seriously injured in the attack around 12:30 p.m. at Federal Correctional Institution, Tucson, according to the source and the Bureau of Prisons, which did not name the inmate in a statement to the outlet.

Did they even make it thirty seconds before climbing on the counter to twerk? Barely, because I clocked the shaking and the and rubbing of the rear on the Plexiglass at 37 seconds …
