      Since you are interested in cops and Atlanta shooting, can you look into this case?https://twitter.com/mollycrabapple/status/1372967055750803457 …

      Delania Yaun was white. Her husband Mario González is Mexican. Police refused to believe González was married to a white woman, brutalized him, and refused to even let him see his dead wife's body I haven't seen this covered outside the Spanish media https://mundohispanico.com/hispano-sobrevive-masacre-atlanta-spa/10 …

      There's no reference in that story to the fact that the cops "refused to believe he was married to a white woman."

      Maybe that was in the Spanish language story.

      I'm talking about the Spanish-language story.

      And Gonzalez's story was covered sympathetically by The Daily Mail, so I'm not convinced the "right-wingers don't want to talk about this" angle is all that accurate. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9381897/Family-husband-survived-Atlanta-spa-shooting-tell-escaped-handcuffed.html …

      English newspaper playing up story that embarrasses USA is not the same thing as American anglophone mainstream media.

          Embarrassed? Jesus, it’s about a white victim’s non-Asian husband’s detention at the scene. The reason that’s not being told is it doesn’t fit the needs of a different narrative.

          What's the story, though? Gonzalez isn't talking to the press. And is "cops handcuff man who emerges unhurt from building where mass shooting took place, and hold him in custody until actual shooter has been identified" really radically bad police work?

          I wouldn't be surprised if race played a role in how Gonzalez was treated. But at that point they had no idea who the shooter was, or if he had had accomplices. Gonzalez was the only person uninjured in the shooting. What, really, were the cops supposed to do?
