Another black man shot dead by the police.
Black man Christmas shopping in Ohio. Sees a beebee gun out of its packaging on the store shelf. Picks it up to examine it. Policeman sees him with a gun in his hand and shoots him -- dead.
I waited 2 days for the outrage. I found it today in an 80 page blurb on page 9 of our state's most widely distributed newspaper. Life is back to normal in the USA.

Family members, gun rights advocates are questioning how a young father was quickly shot and killed by police at Ohio Walmart after a complaint was made that he was carrying and waving around a firearm.
John Crawford III, 22, was fatally shot by law enforcement inside a Beavercreek, Ohio Walmart on Aug. 5 within minutes of a 911 call from a fellow Walmart shopper. The caller told a 911 operator, who was relaying the information to the Beavercreek Police Department that a man meeting Crawford’s description was walking around with a gun in the store – pointing it at people.
One of the points in the lawsuit was that Walmart left the BB gun unsecured on the shelf. Perhaps you were reading about the lawsuit? Or you could post the details of the incident in December to which you referred.

SO much for it being news.
