People who read White Girl Bleed a Lot remember Ravi Baichwal. He’s the ABC anchor in Chicago who ranted and raved about what a terrible person I was for writing such a terrible book.
Ravi’s back.
Listen to how he opens the story: Cops chase a suspected drug dealer. He pulls a gun and cops shoot him dead.
Neighbors get pissed and attack cops. Ravi said it was a “scuffle.”
Hmmm.
Then they trot out all the usual suspects to say the drug dealer was a good person trying to turn his life around and the cops had no reason to shoot him.
Uh hu.
Keep up the good work Ravi!
The Chicago Trib did not do much better, but it gave a better description of the crime. Oh yeah: “fighting” with police is not really called fighting.
Its called assault.Cops fatally shoot man who allegedly pointed gun at them – chicagotribune.com
And when 100 people do it at the same time, its called a riot.
And when 100 black people do it at the same time, its called a race riot.
Capische?
