Nothing to See Here

This is one more instance where the media coverage would be significantly different had the driver been white and the victim black.  

The Las Vegas review Journal headline called it a "bike crash" initially.

Of this there is absolutely no doubt. The leftists in media don't care about objective reporting, but rather the promotion of the leftist narrative. It's simply not that important when the victim is white. In the meantime, we express our concerns constantly regarding the slaughter of black people in black communities under the authority of Dem politicians who ease pressure on criminals. Those murders go unreported as well.

Art,

The reality for the APL is that some "black lives" matter more than others, depending on their utility in moving an agenda forward. The lives of average, innocent, black people in Chicago don't even warrant a mention at this point by those on the left.

Newer reporting suggests that the perps were hispanic, not black (although POC, and an ethnic group that votes dem in large numbers). Even without that, the point still holds. If the drivers had been white, and the victim POC, we'd be seeing protests.

...if not riots and looting.

I thought you know that "protests" were the new term for riots, looting, and arson.
