We’re lucky we got a story about it. It’s because there was clear video evidence. The police are fucking notorious for sweeping stuff like this under the rug.
John Oliver talks about several instances with and without bodycam footage that they try to hide. And, again, those are just some of the cases we know about.
Your trust in media is misplaced. Following that logic, genocide is normal, hence why we don’t get many stories on what’s actually going on.
Just think of Alex Pretti and Nicole Good. We know, not because of the police or media, but because bystanders had clead evidence to push the media to actually do their jobs for once.
Further case in point is how little we’ve heard about ICE recently. Because they’re still out in force. But I suppose because the violence and rogue law enforcement is “normal” we don’t need to report on it anymore, huh?
Oh so you mean to say that your logic only applies in that one single instance and if you apply it to anything else it falls apart immediately? Funny that.
An occurrence in a crosswalk doesn’t align with the scale and attention of a paid event attended by thousands, sponsored by the city, and pushed to headlines by a ton of sponsors and the like. I get what you’re trying to do here but it really misses the mark.
A better parallel would be school shootings. We have ~3/day and headlines don’t always make it out of the district they happen in.
As I say to stupid shit like this all the time, no it’s not normal here, that’s why there’s a news story about it.

1984 is a very relevant read right now.
Every year there are 2,430 regular season MLB games played. Every one of them has, at minimum, at least one news story about it.
Cool, not the same thing.

It’s pretty normal for cops to murder and maim people without consequences
