The guy's point is cromulent, ie, that white people just don't
warrant being in the news when wrongfully shot by cops.
So there's a huge mis-perception that the sole problem is
racism, rather than fundamentally dangerous policing.
Let's consider the Justine Damon case he covers.
Shooting of Justine Damond - Wikipedia
I added the underlining in the excerpt......
On the night of the shooting, Damond called 9-1-1 at 11:27 p.m., and again eight minutes later, 11:35 p.m.[25] She reported that she thought she heard a woman either having sex or being raped.[26] Dispatchers categorized the call as "unknown trouble: female screaming"—a relatively low priority.[27] Officers responded to the area, the low-crime neighborhood of Fulton in southwestern Minneapolis,[27] and found no suspects or signs of the suspected rape that had prompted Damond's telephone calls to 9-1-1.[28]
Officers Noor and Harrity, after driving through an alley with the lights on their police Ford Explorer off, heard no signs of criminal activity.[27] As the two partners prepared to leave, Noor "entered 'Code Four' into the cruiser's computer, meaning the scene was safe."[27] Harrity would indicate "that he was startled by a loud sound near the squad," and immediately, then, Damond approached the police car's driver-side window.[29] Harrity drew his weapon, but, pointed it downward, did not fire.[30] Noor, however, fired once through the open window, fatally striking Damond in the chest.[27][29] Damond was unarmed and barefoot.[27] The officers attempted CPR to no avail; Damond died 20 minutes later.[31]
Harrity later told a supervisor, "We both got spooked."[27] At Noor's trial, Harrity testified of hearing "something hit the car and I also hear some sort of murmur," and that he feared an "ambush," but deemed it "premature" to use deadly force.[30] Noor testified that he did not see Damond's hand or any object in the hand, but nonetheless believed that his partner "feared for his life" and "there was a threat."[32] At Noor's trial, prosecutors presented evidence that Damond's fingerprints were not on the police car, suggesting she never made contact with it, and prosecutors called two expert witnesses on the police use of force, who testified that Noor's decision to shoot was unreasonable.[33]
Both officers had their body cameras switched off.[34] Minneapolis introduced police body cameras in 2016, but their activation was not mandatory in all situations.[35] No audio or video recordings captured the killing,[27] although a 16-year-old cyclist took cell-phone video of the scene after the shooting.[36]
Cop culture has too much fear of civilians. And their response is too often
"when afraid, shoot". Making the force more diverse cannot address this problem.
Noor, the fast tracked diversity hire, killed an unarmed barefoot pajama clad white
woman. Sure, sure...it's a single incident. But it illustrates the larger picture that
many more whites are killed by cops, but both black & white folk are largely
unaware of the danger police pose to all.
