RE: Police Take Out Hero! Johnny Was One Of Our Own

Yes, I also tried to do a little research yesterday, out of curiosity. My little bit of research of people with this last name only turned up people I would have called "white" (including some guy with the same name as the brother of the shooter). But I agree it's not a real issue either way.

Sort:  

All of the white images I found were of the Hero Johnny Hurley even though I searched Troyke's name. I found one that wasn't Hurley who looked white (might be able to argue Latino it was borderline so either way) but had back the blue style flags and such on the wall behind him. Then on CBS I found an image of a black guy (only one).

Ultimately I was only curious to see if it would stick with the trend of what gets reported and what doesn't.

I am all for equality. Equal justice. That has nothing to do with our immutable characteristics.

There is a lot of propaganda and narrative pushing out there though that is fueling division and hatred and that is truly only what I am zeroing in on.

If Hurley had been black I would have just as proud of his actions. He did what a brave person that is aware, has the weapon, and has the training should do to help people and stop psychotic actions.
