Police Shooting Person A To Prevent A From Gutting Person B With A Big-Ass Knife: SYSTEMIC RACISM!!!!1111

"Systemic racism" is bullshit. Like "implicit bias," it's mostly a way for the left to play the race card in an unfalsifiable way.
   Which is exactly what's going on here.
   I'm no cop, nor am I a "police use-of-force expert"... But I don't see that you have to be to know that the cop did the right thing. Ms. Bryant, you see, was about to gut that other girl. Who was also black. Since racism is the new not-racism, that's what really matters. Of course, if Ms. Bryant had been about to gut an evil "cis"-hetero-able-bodied-white-male, it'd be different...
   Actually, that give me an idea for a trolley problem for our brave new world: a trolley is headed down the tracks toward a black woman...but you have the ability to switch it onto a side-track where sits a white male...  Is there any doubt what anti-racism requires of you, bigot?
   To be clear: there *is* such a thing as institutional racism (a better, more precise term than "systemic racism"...which suggests a different thing). It's just a lot less common than the illiberal left would have you think. Slavery--in the U.S.--was a racist institution. But the U.S. is not made of "systemic racism." Which is why, when asked for examples, they either give the same ones over and over (slavery, Jim Crow, redlining), or point to things that aren't racist (e.g.: the shooting of Ms. Bryant). Unconscious and semi-conscious bias are also things--but, again, they're less common and much less important than progressives want you to think. Progressives want more racism. But we have less of it. So they pretend that we have the same amount we always did...just undetectably. It's like there's a law of the conservation of racism--it never goes away, it just goes stealth.
   For all the left's obsession with race, they sure are bad at it. But, then, it's a religion, so it's not supposed to make sense...
   Oh, yeah, and: though I'm too lazy to look it up, don't miss the stories about how at least one of the networks edited the knife out of one scene, and cut the 911 call so that there was no mention of a knife. This on the heels of a different MSM network cutting the gun out of the Adam Toledo video. 
   Even in the story above, from the Washington Examiner, it says that Bryant was seen "with a knife," and that it "appears that she was about to swing it" at another girl. When in fact, she had a big-ass knife and was in the very act of swinging it with all her considerable heft with the intention of gutting another (black) girl. 
   Psaki--who seems almost literally unable to tell the truth--of course twists this story to fit the preferred blue worldview. Kayleigh MacEnany was an unusually truthful press secretary--so something of a contrast with Trump, who was Trump. Psaki, like the rest of her side, cares nothing for the truth. In fact, they don't even care about racism--unless you mean: care to exaggerate it for religio-political reasons. If they really cared about it, they'd stop trying to convince black Americans that their country hates them and is trying to kill them.
