Hey Inquirer, I appreciate you calling yourselves out, but it means nothing if we wake up tomorrow or next week to another article sensationalizing the shooting rate or crime when police are still shooting civilians at higher ratios than the civilian gun violence and the child incarceration is still higher than when Walter Wallace was shot and killed in November. When are you gonna report on these things?
