Liberal Newsrooms Fail the True Black Lives Matter Test
This past weekend, 8-year-old Secoriea Turner died at the hand of an unknown gunman in Atlanta. A car she was in with her mother and two other men went past a barricade set up by Black Lives Matter protesters, near the site of the police killing of Rayshard Brooks. Two people in the crowd of protesters opened fire on the car.
"They killed my baby because she crossed a barrier and made a U-turn?" Turner’s anguished father said. "Black Lives Matter? You killing your own. You killed an 8-year-old child. She ain't did nothing to no one of y'all. She just wanted to get home to see her cousin. That's all she wanted to do."
The question “Do black lives matter?†demands to be answered – more specifically, do black lives matter to the media when the shootings don’t involve the police?
