Cops shoot another unarmed Black man. The jury won't convict the officer(s). The media yawns. Stop, play, repeat.
The Connect Politic blog predicted this familiar pattern would repeat in the case of Ousmane Zongo's killing. Haven't heard of Zongo? Oh, dag. That's probably because his name isn't 50 Cent or Martha Stewart. Maybe if dude had a record contract and 100 unreleased songs on deck his death would matter to the media. But nope. No flow, no promo.
So while others wonder if rap violence is going to far, I'm wondering when the pundits will start highlighting police violence with the investigative shine it deserves.
