You sure do hear about it whenever a Black attacks a White cop and gets shot in self-defense.
Strangely, when a little White boy is shot down in cold blood by brown cops, you hear virtually nothing.
Also of note: there are no riots.

A grandmother wept to hear a judge read the indictments of two deputy city marshals on second-degree murder charges for the fatal shooting of her 6-year-old autistic grandson in a small Louisiana town.
Hours before an Avoyelles Parish grand jury handed up the indictments Thursday, Cathy Mardis called for authorities to release video from a police body camera of the encounter that killed her grandson, Jeremy Mardis, and severely wounded his father, Chris Few.
After the judge who read the indictments lifted a gag order in the case, Louisiana Attorney General James “Buddy” Caldwell’s office released a court filing that provides investigators’ first description of the video’s contents.
A police officer who witnessed the two city marshals, Derrick Stafford and Norris Greenhouse Jr., open fire on Few and his son told investigators he didn’t fire his own weapon because “he didn’t fear for his life,” according to the filing.
The document also said Marksville Police Sgt. Kenneth Parnell III’s body camera shows that Christopher Few’s empty hands are raised and visible inside the vehicle “when gunfire becomes audible.” Few was critically wounded by two gunshots, while his son, Jeremy Mardis, received five gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say Stafford, a full-time police lieutenant, and Greenhouse, a former police officer, were moonlighting as deputy city marshals in Marksville on the night of Nov. 3 when they fired at least 18 rounds at Few’s car. The court filing released Thursday doesn’t explain why Greenhouse began pursuing the vehicle before Stafford and another deputy marshal joined in the pursuit of the fleeing vehicle.
Stafford and Greenhouse were arrested on second-degree murder charges last month but not formally charged until Thursday. The indictment charged Stafford, 32, of Mansura, and Greenhouse, 23, of Marksville, with one count each of second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder.
“The body camera video is approximately 13 minutes and 47 seconds long. At approximately 26 seconds into the video, the driver, Christopher Few’s empty hands are raised and visible when gunfire becomes audible,” the document states.
Caldwell vowed Thursday to “continue (a) detailed and thorough investigation as we prepare for trial.”
