Just a quick correction: the shooter, Susan Lorincz, didn’t “engage” with Owens’ children, she assaulted them.
So apparently the current protocol for the police—when a white person shoots, chokes to death or otherwise kills an innocent unarmed Black person—is to A) not immediately arrest the killer B) not charge them with any crime C) refuse to release their name, and D) give them ample time to scrub their social media accounts of any incriminating activity long before any “official” investigation is conducted.
Unsurprisingly, this is, almost without fail, the exact opposite of what the police and media do when a murder victim is white but the suspect is Black: A) the Black suspects are immediately arrested B) immediately charged with a felony C) and not only are Black suspects instantly named, they are instantly vilified and we know any mistake they ever made from preschool onwards, and D) the police and corporate media outlets immediately share every scrap of their social media.
This is America in black & white. It’s the centuries-old, structure of interlocking systems working precisely as intended.
