CNN tells you why there were no protests after the Minneapolis police shooting

Of course 2 paragraphs in they start to take the turn that would lead someone like you to post this here.

Interesting take from you

Read the whole article and the tone it takes, you'll see why he likes it.

So the protestors are bigots.

Shocker.

Well, the narrative that drives people into the streets is about power disregarding and devaluing the lives of powerless people. There is something offensive about the idea that lower classes can be thrown aside or killed indiscriminately, or that by race alone we can classify people's lives as of lesser value.

When a good looking white woman is shot down, the idea that her life is seen by people in power to have less value is not implicated. In fact, the international outrage about this shooting shows that this victim is considered to have been of high value. no one can understand why anyone would shoot a tall blond woman in her pajamas.

Why would any group mobilize to take to the streets after this shooting? No one is defending the officer, as is the case in virtually every shooting of an unarmed black man. Who is being disrespected? No one. White people won't protest to say that they aren't valued, because they feel that they ARE valued by society.

You can't use this situation to confirm your race bias because it doesn't fit.

She was white.

He is African AND Muslim.

Of course there are no protests.

The Left hates whites and loves Islam.

I'm more surprised that there aren't celebrations.

It's the stupidity of BLM...there are a lot of white folks that are getting clipped in questionable circumstances, too. If the issue were just bad, poorly trained, trigger happy cops and not this ridiculous racial whining we might get some traction on reigning in the shoot first, claim fear for life later, cops.

Because the race and nationality of the victim and police officer aren't what has typically garnered headlines, people who normally speak up aren't saying much.

Because of their white privilege and guilt?

We don't need CNN to tell us why in their own way. We know why. The victim was white, they don't care. Probably figure she had it coming because of her white privildege.

Look up white people killed by police annually, it more than doubles blacks. I couldn't give you a single name until it was an Australian woman.

No one defends cops when a random white guy is killed in an unfortunate encounter because it's not a national headline being discussed.
