"Asymmetry of Indulgence"‐Why Black Cops Can Kill When White Cops Can't, and Why No-One Cares About Mexicans (Or Whites)

That phrase was coined by conservative British journalist Ferdinand Mount.

Plainly we have an asymmetry of indulgence in regard to police shooting of civilians. The asymmetry was in exceptionally plain sight this week, after the shooting of Daunte Wright in a Minneapolis suburb.

The tiny minority of us whose memories stretch all the way back to early January could not help contrasting this shooting and its consequences with the death of Ashli Babbitt:
