@conception_native_0123 - responding to the specific article that opens this thread, I noted that we start with a woman who voluntarily got intoxicated. If you follow the link, you learn that she was almost twice the legal limit for intoxication. I'm sure no one put a gun to her head and said "drink" - even though there is an old joke about that. She voluntarily posted anti-police messages on social media. Again, I tend to doubt coercion was involved. She was driving on a suspended license and has done so over a dozen times, which means that law has limited meaning to her. Then she goes out and kills a cop because she is too impaired to safely operate a vehicle. And finally, she leaves the scene of the accident.
My post merely commented that in her case, she would need extraordinary assistance from an unusual source in order to get out of these charges. The most likely source would be some "woke" women's rights advocate who is vehemently anti-police. So I named one.
As to the other news being mentioned in passing by NG, the problem we have right now is that the USA news media was so virulently anti-Trump that they ignored or slanted news in order to keep people focused against their political enemy. They rarely covered the good things which Trump did because they allowed their political agenda to override their duty to offer simple news reporting. They still maintain their slant.
Mayor Ted Wheeler said he wanted to “unmask” demonstrators who engaged in property destruction. The Oregon city has seen regular demonstrations since the murder of George Floyd.

Warning - that link does include a request to subscribe - but I picked it for a reason. This story went up on Yahoo News for about a day but then got pulled down. One can guess that liberal media didn't like someone doing a factual piece about how Portland has been trashed by the continuing riots. This article focuses on a Portland resident who volunteers to help her community and who is expressing signs of depression due to the excesses of the Portland rioters as they break, smash, or burn things. But Portland officials cannot or will not send in authorities to make mass arrests. That is just one example of coverage that you can find - but you have to look.
The obvious slant here is that trespassers to the USA capitol are heinous villains who deserve to be crushed, but the Portland riotors - who were still active THIS MONTH - get minimal attention. If you look, you realize that the media have still not returned to a more neutral, broad-based coverage. To me, THIS is heinous.
