As to the latter, something like "a male black victim was shot and wounded, a male black victim was shot and killed, a third male was shot and wounded". Hardly subtle message from the City that Just Raised Sales Taxes to 9%, snd I can't believe nobody called em on it. One thing to identify a purported offender by race, another thing entirely to identify purported victims by race.
I assume y'all know why I found this to be alarming, but if yas need me to spell out the message I think the guy was sending, just let me know.

I guess that you're saying that they're implying that the two black men were involved, but the third guy was just an innocent bystander, so it's still safe for white people in Chicago, the blacks mostly just shoot each other? If so, it's kind of weird that they didn't call him a victim. Or, are you implying that they didn't say that he was white or whatever race he is, becuase that would scare white people?
Maybe, but I don't really get that. Different newspapers and organizations (like the CPD) often have policies about identifiying people or noting certain characteristics about them (race, age, gender) based on whether they are victims or offenders and whether the information is available for everyone. In this case, I read that the other guy shot was from Michigan, wasn't involved, wasn't seriously injured and was treated and released, so maybe they just didn't have that information.
