Mass looting and rioting broke out in Chicago on Sunday night after a reportedly armed black suspect in his “late teens or early 20s” was wounded in a shootout with police in Englewood.
Any excuse to loot will do.

How does this fit with the media’s narrative that black people are “terrified” that police will shoot them at any moment for any reason without the slightest provocation?

Do any of these folks look “terrified” that police are going to shoot them at any moment just for the “crime” of “being black”?
