Me: "There's not enough coverage of white people being killed by police. A black cop killed an unarmed white woman and it was barely covered"
You: "Because he was probably already in jail"
Me: "He was actually arrested almost a year later"
You: "What about"

You're missing the point.

The media is going to cover whatever story they can milk for the longest period of time.

When a black cop kills a white woman, as a society, we already expect that cop to be justly punished. And what happened? Less than a year later, that cop was found guilty and put in prison.

We cannot say the same for when a cop unjustly kills a black person. We still have have several highly publicized incidents where the killer is roaming free to this day.

You brought up ONE incident where a white woman was killed by an officer, and yet her killer is sitting in jail as we speak. YOU chose this example, not me. That is not a good argument to support the idea that nobody cares about white people getting killed by police, IF that is the argument you're trying to make.
