Sometimes it seems like the news media is willing to bend over backwards to make sure we look at the skin color of individuals involved in a news story. It almost seems as if they are trying to feed on any division they can identify in society.
Case in point, a guy is attacked while confronting someone about parking in a handicap parking space without a permit. He defends himself successfully. But the problem seems to be that the person who parked illegally and then attacked the person who confronted him was black, and the person he attacked was white. That had to be mentioned in the story because the white person defended himself with a gun.

That’s when McGlockton, who is black, exited the store and approached Drejka, shoving him violently to the ground with both hands, surveillance video shows. While still on the ground, Drejka, who is white, then pulled out a gun and shot McGlockton, firing a single round that struck him in the chest, deputies said.
The young father then staggered back into the store and collapsed in front of the couple’s 5-year-old son, who is named after McGlockton, Jacobs told the Tampa Bay Times. He was pronounced dead a short time later.
Naturally, those who see this division as an open door are going to go even further with it with stories that play entirely on the theme of race, leading to stories like this: https://www.theroot.com/the-stand-your-ground-law-protects-shooter-who-killed-b-1827782534
In another story, a guy does a standoff with police at a Trader Joe's. He's black and kills someone who isn't black. Of course, not a word about the hostage taker being black is mentioned in the story. You'll have to watch the video to get that information.

Perhaps it would help make us a little less divided in this country if those who control the narrative we see in news stories stopped using skin color as a way of identifying who is supposedly in the wrong. That's for the justice system to figure out.
Remember that the media is corrupt and self-serving; this is what would be expected from them.
