Guess Why A Black Liberal Says Arresting A Black Killer Of A Black Child Was Wrong

This Friday, authorities in Chicago arrested a suspect for the murder of nine-year-old Tyshawn Lee, the tot whom local thugs had lured into an alleyway and executed over gang beef with his father.
Later that very same day, CNN racial grievance monger and bonafide scumbag Marc Lamont Hill complained that the Chicago PD purposefully chose to arrest the suspect now so as to divert attention away from the unnecessary protests over Laquan McDonald’s unjust death (H/T NewsBusters):
I don’t know how much we should applaud Chicago police for doing the job that they’re supposed to do. I’m glad that they’re doing their job in some instances as opposed to what we saw here with Laquan McDonald.
But a more cynical reading of what’s happened is they decided to make an arrest and make an announcement that diverts attention away from their own misdeeds, number one, and number two, that re-centers the conversation so once again we’re talking about gang violence and black on black violence instead of state violence against black people because as soon as they announced, “Oh, we got the killer of a gang-related shooting,” then suddenly people say, “See, you people are killing yourselves. Therefore, we shouldn’t be putting so much attention on the fact that law enforcement are killing people or shooting them 16 times, 14 of which are done when they’re on the ground.”
I suspect that the Chicago PD opted to conduct the arrest on Friday because that happened to be the same day that its investigation somehow, someway landed on Corey Morgan, the 27-year-old gang member and convicted felon — who authorities believe acted “in concert” with a few others — who played a role in Lee’s death.
This brings us back to the protests over McDonald’s unjust death, which earlier I referred to as unnecessary.
I strongly stand by that description because — lo and behold — this week local authorities arrested the rogue cop, James Van Dyke, who allegedly fired sixteen shoots at McDonald, even after he had been incapacitated. This means that justice is on its way to being served, which in turn means that the protests are in fact unnecessary.
The same cannot be said for the countless other innocent men, women and children in Chicago — most of them likely black — whose murders remain unsolved, probably due in large part to the “no snitching” rule to which far too many black people subscribe (H/T WBEZ):
Unsolved Murders Chicago
Where is the justice for these folks? If “Black Lives Matter” protesters and others like them want to protest on behalf of justice, why not raise hell over these innumerable victims, all of whose killers remain free and untinged?
And yet, judging by Lamont’s rhetoric, to simply talk about these tragic deaths — which make the exceptionally rare occurrence of genuine police brutality look almost non-existent — would mean “[recentering] the conversation so once again we’re talking about gang violence and black on black violence,” and that would be a big no no.
So, ladies and gentlemen, the inconvenient truth about black criminality must continue to remain buried, because many in the black community (including Hill) would rather complain about a non-existent “black genocide” at the hands of the police than address the very real black-on-black genocide that occurs every single day across this country, but especially so in the city known as Chiraq …
