"It starts and ends with that video, said Libor Jany, the Minneapolis Star Tribune public safety reporter who broke the story."

Sadly, that is about the only objective truth to emerge from this sad interlude in American justice and journalistic history. From the first day, the news media adopted a narrative, which it broadcast with little or no regard for the pursuit of facts, from beginning to the bizarre end, where a jury convicted a police officer performing his law enforcement duties, with not even a prosecutorial assertion of malice, of three contradictory murder charges.

While there are many historical incidents of gross police brutality and racial injustice, neither the death of Floyd, a sad shambles of a man who wasted his life and died at least substantially as a result of a misspent life, nor Breonna Taylor, killed in the crossfire when her nitwit of a boyfriend recklessly fired through a closed door, nor the now several victims of their own stupidity, attempting to drive away from police, are examples of this. That an overtly partisan corps of reporters and editors has engineered that into being discredits journalistic integrity and independence.
