It's because they thought that they could convince people the NY shooter was white. Since nobody's buying that and they are getting clowned on for that crap, get ready to see the NY shooter get memory holed
They always report 2 distinct shooters at first, one dressed in normal clothes and another dressed in tactical gear with a helmet covering their face. I wonder why that is?
NY had 4 people senselessly gunned down, NEWS CYCLE STOPS. Weekend of 7/20 saw 28 people shot, 6 fatalities. Nobody over 200 miles from the Loop hears about it.
