The Whole World's Watching: U.S. Cop killings now on page 1 of a conservative German newspaper [View all]

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

The Rheinische Post of Düsseldorf, usually friendly to Merkel's CDU, ran a small article (full story on Page 5) on the latest in the wave of American cops killing unarmed black men.

The piece here reads:
After yet another case of a white policeman using deadly force on a black man, a wave of protests has gripped the USA. In the State of Arizona, a father of four was shot to death by police after he didn't want to take his hand out of his pants pocket. Overnight, people there, as well thousands all over America took to the streets in protest.
