I do. It would likely make the local papers, but not Yahoo or any other national headlines. The only reason this made Yahoo is because it was an unarmed, 19 year old black man who was shot and killed by a police officer. People are watching for any news of a white cop shooting, especially killing, a black person.
Here's what sadly didn't make Yahoo's news:
57 people have been shot and killed in Chicago this year already. Each victim was either black or hispanic, the majority being black. The listed suspects are mostly black, with a couple hispanics and one white man.
While the news would like to focus and keep our attention on white cops killing black men, it largely ignores the plight of blacks and hispanics killing their own.
