DAMN! 2 cops shot in Oklahoma ... but I found more

So I flip through C-span, BBC, CNN, MSNBC and Fox in the morning to take the pulse of the media.
I caught this story on Fox. They devoted about 30 - 45 seconds to the piece.

I did a Duck Duck Go and found this report

https://www.wftv.com/news/trending/2-oklahoma-police-officers-shot-critically-hurt-during-traffic-stop-manhunt-underway/F2KNNELWLZGCFLOE7H37LVSNDY/

This is the suspect



While looking for the image displayed above THIS older story was returned in the search.

https://www.counterpunch.org/2017/06/28/david-ware-killed-by-police-a-vindication/

and the picture in the article



So black David Ware is shot running away because they thought he had a gun.

White David Ware is pulled over and I can only assume that although there is inherent risk in the job, the level of caution used by the cops was much lower, then if it had been a black person.

As I type this Fox just reported that 1 of the cops has died.

Posting now ... I am sure or not sure this story will get legs anywhere other than Fox and the local Oklahoma broadcasters. Will monitor for updates.

All from so-called liberals. Hopefully they are fake liberals trying to stir up shit.
But saying things like "it's karma" is not the way to win hearts and minds.
