That too.it's not so much that, it's that white suspects are killed by police at a much higher rate than blacks. Furthermore unarmed whites are shot and killed by police at nearly the same rate as blacks. The difference is the media doesn't report on shootings of white suspects, only blacks. That leads the public to believe these shootings never happen to white suspects.
The media is not there to tell the entire story, the media is there to make money. If they reported how a white got shot by a police officer, we whites shrug our shoulders and say "the asshole must have deserved it!" So there is no business sense in making an issue out of it.
If they report on a black getting shot and killed, especially an unarmed black, they stand a chance at making big bucks. Protests could form, riots can break out, stores being burned or looted. It all makes for great advertising dollars.
If the media reported honestly, though, we’d have President Trump in office right now. EVERYTHING they did for the past two years - from hiding the Hunter laptop story, to hiding everything Trump did in response to COVID (he was looking so good in the daily press conferences that CNN refused to cover them), to making the Floyd death all about racism - was to get Trump out of office.
