Yesterday there was a shooting in downtown Minneapolis, and Gov. Tim Walz seemingly couldn't even bring himself to say the word "police" in his post about what happened:
My public safety team is responding to a shooting that took place downtown Minneapolis this afternoon.
— Governor Tim Walz (@GovTimWalz) September 2, 2026
State officials are on the ground to support local law enforcement and we will share more information as it becomes available.
Does Walz mean the police that the Democrats go out of their way to demonize quickly ended the attack?
Walz and his media pals will make sure this one quickly exits the news cycle because it doesn't fit any of the narratives the left wants to push.

Maybe the woke DA should spend more time prosecuting CRIMINALS rather than harassing ICE agents.
Carlton is now burning in hell.

For some Democrats and their media allies, when a narrative doesn't line up with what they would like, they can just force a talking point into the story.
The New York Times was spotted doing that very thing:
NY Times closes out its story on the shooting in Minneapolis today where 2 police officers were shot and 2 died with this gem: pic.twitter.com/P4zjEP0fUh

The Times basically concluded the story with, "and now back to what we want to be talking about, not what actually happened."
The NYT is truly reprehensible.

Black man outraged over being evicted commences a shooting spree, so OF COURSE the @NYTimes has to bring up unrelated ICE activity from early this year. https://t.co/JYEdKkushK

Ah, "journalism."
