There is only one reason this is a national story and that’s the identities of the murderer and the victim.
The people who made that meme are not arguing about prison reform or mental health in good faith and engaging with that is obtuse and counterproductive.
Wouldn’t that also be the case with stories like George Floyd. Cops kill a lot of people every year. I’m not saying it shouldn’t have been a story, but that was the motive in making that one story a story. So it obviously happens in both directions. Wouldn’t it be worse if it could happen in one direction but any information in the other direction was stuffed under a rug? Then our sense of reality would be completely manipulated.
