this is not surprising

unfortunately, this seems to be the new normal for reporters and/or story writers

Ehhh, it's basically the normal. "Police have said this, so that's what you're reading."

The press deference to law enforcement is pretty strong, in part owing to some legal underpinnings. 

It's perhaps a casualty of the lack of bipartisanism in modern society. Or it's a general issue with the innate hypocrisy of the structural two-sided nature of our or maybe any political system.

I think in a lot of cases, black on black crime gets thrown out when something else is being discussed because it's a good base for "what about that?" Like it's super, super terrible, but it's also not something that can be held to account in the same way.

Yes.  In the business world we call it:
“hey— look over there at that shiny object”

I use it in my world a lot when being audited lol

The pallets of bricks story appears, as expected, to have a rather mundane explanation.  I realize some folks don't believe Snopes, which is fine with me.

I should be surprised a theory that stupid happened, but I'm not.

A lot of theories.  No real answer. 

here is the fact: bricks were thrown at law enforcement and injured many of them.

I guess I’ve never viewed it as a diversionary tactic.  When my wife complains about the clutter in the garage I don’t think I’m changing the subject or avoiding the problem when I tell her 90 percent of the stuff is hers.  Doesn’t mean I don’t have stuff to clean out but I’m not sure that is the best way to get a clean garage.

When people complain about blacks being murdered by white cops I’ve never felt like it was a diversionary tactic to point out far more blacks are being killed by blacks.  If you want black lives to matter that seems like a good place to start.

That being said, I can appreciate the arguments that we should have a higher standard for cops than common criminals.  I guess I still view it as unusual, isolated incidents.

Alton Brown chili is a hearty no bean chili with intense layers of robust flavor and plenty of fall-apart tender beef to satisfy that inner carnivore.

Can I Make This With A Texan Twist?
Alton Brown chili isn’t exactly a Texas chili recipe, but you can add kidney beans and onions to create more of a Texas Road House Chili with a kick. Fill a deep bowl for a hearty meal or use it to spice up another recipe.
