Tom is beating his head against the wall trying to get unbiased coverage from a media that won’t divulge the race of the perp ( even when obvious from cameras, witnesses etc. ) in most cases, won’t give the details of the story as to what caused the interaction in the first place and how the perps reacted violently/ unlawfully and is all over the “ cops are wrong everytime “ angle. Lying by omission is the media’s stock in trade.
