This week a car was driven directly toward a Roanoke police officer.
The officer shot the driver.
Roanoke Times was perfectly OK that officer shooting was found by police to be justified!
No chaos – no riots – no media circus – no need for officer-imprisonment!

Compare that process and coverage to:

In Jan a car was driven directly toward a Federal ICE police officer.
The vehicle actually hit the officer.
The officer shot the driver thru the windshield – the vehicle continued.
The PravdaMedia declared the Federal police officer was a criminal!
There were ongoing investigations and chaos by state and federal units.
Media and others labeled the ICE officer a criminal and murderer.

The PravdaMedia’s lack of fairness permeates almost every incident they cover.
The comparison and characterization of the fatal shooting of Renee Good by a federal immigration officer with the Roanoke police shooting of Larry Cooper is yet another example of grossly biased processes and biased media coverage.
It’s Not about the News or Law -- it’s all about the Politics!
Little wonder the Roanoke Times is on death-bed oxygen.
