In the space of a single day (July12), the following news stories were disseminated:
Police in Washington, DC were shot at by five people riding in a van. Americans will no doubt be "relieved" to know they fired at police to avoid arrest, not to deliberately target cops. The cops themselves? One suspects a more "benign" reason for thugs trying to kill them is of little comfort.
In Detroit, four black Americans were arrested for allegedly using Facebook to threaten police officers with death. "All lives can't matter until black lives matter. Kill all white cops," read one of the posts.
