Cop shootings

The incidences of white police officers shooting unarmed blacks have been in the news. When a panel member asked why the liberal news seems to headline these shootings more than the conservative press, he responded by saying that liberals recognize that blacks represent a large liberal constituency and they are anxious to prove they are concerned. That is admirable as everyone should be concerned about rogue cops but there are other areas where concern is also needed but often left unmentioned. Is there concern over the fact that the unemployment rate for blacks is twice that of whites, that the high school drop-out rate for blacks is twice that of whites, that one half of the murders in the country are blacks killing blacks, that there are more black males in prison that there are in college, that the gap in test scores widens each year or that 70% of black births are out of wedlock. These are serious problems but they have been around for so long they are no longer newsworthy.
