The desensitization is real and it shouldn't be because it happens on a daily basis. I'm not sure why everything is getting so much coverage now. Is it because America has finally seen social justice or is the constant coverage a way to manipulate the masses into supporting anti gun laws?

I truly think the power of social media has become so influential in politics and the way our society progresses. It's sad but it wasn't until tumblr started picking up and more minorities started sharing the truths about oppression, racism, sexism, etc. that everyone on FB, Buzzfeed, twitter etc started standing up to the oppression and the evil of our society.

A lot of people seem to think it's trendy, for example the label "Social Justice Warriors" but I believe it's the inevitable consequence of having a platform for millions of oppressed and victimized individuals to share what's wrong with society. I also think it's going to turn out to be a very important and vital tool in changing society for the better.

As far as anti-gun propaganda, it obviously helps that cause but I don't think there's a group of liberals sitting behind the desk of network executives and producers telling them to air more anti-gun propaganda. However, there are definitely politicians using these unfortunate events to their advantage.

So ****ed up. Have the police in the U.S. talked about how they're going to avoid killing so many black men? Any measures in place?

After a few too many mysteriously dying in custody, our cops wear cameras at all times. Sad, but hopefully it'll deter.

No, police and Americans in general don't care about the black people. Nothing will be done, mark my words. If anything, the police who murdered him will probably get a medal of honor and if they're white, inducted into the hall of fame.

But it's very obvious that this did not happen

I'm not sure if this is racism because my father is a Lieutenant at a University and he is told to shoot on sight of a weapon (which I thought was crazy) and to shoot to kill. Kinda scary conversation tbh.

It wasn't even a real weapon though.

If this were a just world, the person who falsely called 911 AND the cops who murdered him would be thrown in prison for homicide. But again, America does not give a damn. This kid is just another statistic unfortunately. Just look at the comments on the article and the youtube video.
