Six people were shot, one killed in weekend shootings across Portland.
Why aren't we outraged about this? Why isn't this the lead story on national news? Why aren't we trying to understand and reduce violence in our cities.
Why is the media laser focused on 1 police shooting in Kenosha, WI when 64 + 45 + 6 people were shot and 16 were killed in just 3 cities over the weekend?

You're exactly right, of course. And we don't have to look far to see people who just can't wait to go on another anti-police rant, yet couldn't care less about the overwhelming numbers of shootings/killings that are primarily black-on-black crimes. Those lives don't matter to activists, celebrities, and some online who just revel in looking for the worst in law enforcement, and perpetuating stereotypes. It's pretty pathetic.
