On Thanksgiving Day, a police officer shot and killed EJ Bradford during a mall shooting in Alabama. The police initially claimed that Bradford was the gunman, but later admitted the officer had likely shot the wrong man.
In the days after the revelation, CNN aired 27 segments that discussed the police shooting of Bradford, while Fox aired 15 and MSNBC aired 7. Unsurprisingly, most of the Fox News coverage occurred before the police admitted Bradford was not the shooter.
Bradford’s murder is the latest tragedy in an epidemic of police violence against Black people in America. The NRA and its media outlet have long pushed the argument that the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Bradford’s death further proves that the “good guy with a gun” narrative is a myth.
