Media's Race Omissions: Black Cop AND Riots Targeting Whites in ‪Milwaukee‬

Not only did mass media fail to report that the Milwaukee Police Officer who shot Sylville Smith is African-American, but there was a GLARING OMISSION of the fact that black rioters were targeting and attacking white people. And an independent reporter (who I asked to ask the protesters if they knew the cop who shot Smith is black) was in such fear for his life that he abandoned reporting on the the ground about the ‪Milwaukee‬ "uprising." He reveals that a white teen was shot in the neck during these black riots.

Black ‪Milwaukee‬ Police Officer Shooting of Armed Man Press Conference

Black Milwaukee Police Officer wearing a body camera shoots an armed perp yet there is a riot. See the press conference where a reporter asks what the race of the Milwaukee cop was who shot the man which people are rioting about. Shooting and Riots over an incident most didn't bother to learn the facts about.

"Normally I’d like to think that doesn’t matter, I know it does, I also know that there’s been a lot of work on social media trying to identify him, so there are a number of people here that want to do that officer harm. He happens to be African-American and he has several years of experience and is a very active officer. And we are concerned for his safety. " - Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn
