It's New York City; there's a shooting; a black man and a police officer are involved. Can you guess where I'm going with this? I saw this coming yesterday but didn't say anything out of respect for City Councilman James Davis' (registratoin required) family. But as it turns out, it appears to be Davis' brother that is blaming the "system" and claiming a "conspiracy" behind the shooting.

Most of the time activists are right when they talk about NYC cops and blacks and violence in this city. So I'm more outraged about this because people won't listen to it the next time it happens for real. But I might be more outraged at Good Morning NY (Fox of course) who gave Davis' brother so much air time this morning. I think he's almost as disturbed as Askew was.

My prediction: this is going to get even uglier. I know, I know. I have a knack for stating the obvious.
