I've seen mixed reactions on this case thus far, even from within groups who are on the same side politically.
"We've got to fix this": Police shooting of Ma'Khia Bryant stokes calls for federal probe in Columbus
(and similar articles, doing the typical "let's show the person in happy-go-lucky photos showing them smiling in casual settings to convey a certain tone)
vs.
Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo Defend Cop in Ma'Khia Bryant Shooting: 'Is One Life On That Scene More Valuable Than Another?'
I wonder if the cause of calling for police accountability when force is used, is cheapened when people to quickly jump on-board the bandwagon of equating every instance of a police use of force with the George Floyd or Philando Castile or Breonna Taylor cases, and attempting to lump them into the same category when circumstances surrounding the Ma'Khia Bryant situation was clearly very different.
I typically have a 50/50 split when it comes to Don Lemon...certain things I agree with him on, certain things I staunchly disagree with him on. However, I think Don (and Chris...in the video), gave a pretty balanced and fair commentary of this particular police shooting and pointed out that it's not the same as other high profile incidents we've seen in the recent past.
Thoughts?
