south carolina’s zachary hammond, murdered by policeman***messymandella***
“Zachary Hammond was shot and killed by a police official during a sting operation. The official is unidentified and the department refuses to release his information. Hammond was going through the drive thru at Hardee’s and the police officer suspected him of illegal activity. The officer blocked the car, but evidence shows that the officer shot through the driver’s side window and his life was not in immediate danger. Ana Kasparian (The Point), Ben Mankiewicz (What the Flick!?), and Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
Why does it seem the mainstream media is largely ignoring this? Is there a racial double standard?
