His race\u2014and his professed bigotry against whites and Jews\u2014were either excluded from media reports entirely or described in an anodyne way. The <em>New York Times<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/04\/12\/nyregion\/frank-james-brooklyn-shooting.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">described<\/a> his &#8220;harshly bigoted views&#8221;\u2014against whom, they\u00a0could not say.<\/p>\n<p>Then came the release of video from a police shooting in Grand Rapids, Mich., an incident with a white &#8220;perpetrator&#8221; and a black victim. Video shows 26-year-old Patrick Lyoya fleeing from the unidentified officer before grabbing for the officer&#8217;s taser. The two struggle on the ground before the officer fatally shoots Lyoya.<\/p>\n<p>The incident became the subject of wall-to-wall news coverage, with the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/04\/15\/us\/police-traffic-stops.html?searchResultPosition=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Times<\/a><\/em>, the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/nation\/2022\/04\/14\/patrick-lyoya-grand-rapids-police-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington Post<\/a><\/em>, and CNN referring to Lyoya as an &#8220;unarmed Black man&#8221;\u2014even though he had grabbed the cop&#8217;s taser.<\/p>\n<p>Add to that the media&#8217;s uncritical promulgation of the grieving family&#8217;s claim that Lyoya was &#8220;killed like an animal&#8221; and family lawyer Benjamin Crump&#8217;s characterization of the incident as an &#8220;execution.&#8221; Crump pushed his claim on air with MSNBC&#8217;s racial agitator Al Sharpton, who is set to deliver the eulogy this week. It&#8217;s no wonder Michiganders spent the weekend protesting. (The press apparently doesn&#8217;t use pompous fact-checking clauses like &#8220;claimed without evidence&#8221; unless it&#8217;s former president Donald Trump or one of his allies who&#8217;s doing the talking.)<\/p>\n<p>The coverage of the Grand Rapids shooting was so over-the-top that the sober commentary offered by a former cop, Baltimore&#8217;s Anthony Barksdale, seemed almost out of place. &#8220;When you have an individual \u2026 trying to take control\u2014or has control\u2014of the officer&#8217;s equipment, especially a taser, then lethal force is the next level above a taser,&#8221; Barksdale told CNN. &#8220;The test is, what would a reasonable officer do? The issues with the taser, I could see lethal force being used by this officer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The hysterical media coverage of the incident is surely being consumed by the next subway shooter out there, whose motivations will then be dutifully buried in paragraph 21 of the <em>New York Times<\/em> report on the tragedy, if they get a mention at all.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Media Alleged &#8216;execution-style&#8217; killing was nothing of the sort  New York subway shooting suspect Frank James \/ Getty Images  Washington Free Beacon Editors \u2022 April<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":208,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1442832","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1442832","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/208"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1442832"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1442832\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1442832"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1442832"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1442832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
