Below are some facts that received either little or no airtime on national TV. No TV coverage of funerals... no interviews of family members...

A police chief was found fatally shot outside a St. Louis pawn shop that was looted after protests over the death of George Floyd turned violent. The officer was killed when he apparently tried to stop the looting of the shop.

A Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Officer was critically wounded engaging with violent protesters outside the Circus Circus Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.

Four cops were shot in St. Louis during demonstrations protesting George Floyd's death.

In Cincinnati, a police officer was struck in the helmet by a bullet during a confrontation with protesters.

Just last Saturday, two Tampa police officers, responding to a report of shots fired and possible gunshot victim, were injured Saturday after a crowd of hundreds surrounded the officers in an "ambush." A crowd of hundreds was at the scene when police arrived. As offices searched for a victim, the crowd blocked all four ends of the intersection. They surrounded officers, threw bottles and glass, and jumped on a police vehicle. “When there are that many people out there and clearly no one had been shot. It was just a set up to get the cops there."
So if all the above received "little or no air time" - where did YOU find this information? Cite your sources. Especially if you are quoting someone else, as it seems you are doing in your last paragraph.
