Interesting point. Well noted.

Wonder why different communities respond differently? Well…

White Suspect:

“Fenwick was being chased by a Bardstown K9 police officer when he reportedly reversed his truck, struck the patrol car and fled in the opposite direction. He then encountered deputies from the Nelson County Sheriff’s Office. Fenwick reportedly rammed one of their vehicles before being detained. While struggling with the other deputy, Fenwick was shot, according to the station.”

Black Suspect:

“Fenwick was about to be chased, but was shot instead, according to the station.”
