So when black persons in Detroit are in a position of power and abuse that power against whites or latinos or asians in hiring, police killings, etc., there should be accusations-investigations-of racism in the national media and riots across the country calling for an end to systemic racism and black privilege?

Or how many of them were accidental or gang related. Nothing to see there.

which means there’s exactly as much evidence that race played a role in the Floyd death. yet very different reactions from you and your ilk.

if the races in this case were reversed, he country would be burning.

Your still unable or un willing to understand the floyd protests were not just about Floyd .. but the bigger treatment of people of color by law enforcement here in America and across the world ... also not sure if you took the time to notice its wasn't just people of color in these protests .. not sure how you explaine that away . But I am sure you'll Try

The big difference, most are accidental shootings, or innocent bystander caught in a gang banger shoot out

This kid was 5, he was targeted by an adult male in a pre meditated fashion.

the only time MSM reports is if it fits their agenda:

Anti gun agenda they blow up the national media with school shootings, but they ignore the gang violence in Chicago, and the innocent kids caught in the crossfire. They ignore all of the kids killed as a result of the protest/ rioting. Doesn't help their agenda
You can't honestly say there is no media bias, that is what people get pissed about.
