> As to Ahmed Aubury, it’s an unfortunate fact that police fuckups and cover ups happen. But the media chooses how it frames any given such event. Notice how the media isn’t portraying the Uvalde police department’s efforts to cover things up as an indictment of the whole community?
The difference is that in Ahmed Aubury’s case, there was clear evidence of corruption along racial lines amongst local leaders, and which there is a long history of in the area Aubury was murdered in.
Obviously, this was not the case in Uvalde and so it would not be portrayed as such.

Jeffrey Epstein was obviously killed. What’s obvious to one group of people is not obvious to others. There are a great many people to whom it is obvious that the median journalist is more like Taylor Lorenz than them and hates people like them and has no compunction about lying if it makes hurting them easier.
