Tomorrow, if Minneapolis cops said that a Black man went into "medical distress" and died of "natural causes or a drug overdose," every major newspaper in the US would print their statement unquestioningly.🤦🏿‍♂️

Even though they know that the 1st statement cops give after an incident is usually a lie. Even though they know that this is the 1st statement that MPD issued after George Floyd:

So yeah, Black folk not trusting US news reporting about us, is rational.
