Kabala's brazenness to "grant" that Will Smith, Antonio Banderas and Jennifer Lopez might once have had to face hardship and discrimination, but no longer have to deal with it after receiving their "stratospheric paychecks," is the largest falsity in his article.

After the verdict last week, Giuliani reached out to the Diallo family but spent as much energy calling on angry citizens to "put their prejudices and biases aside. We have racism in New York...We also have a vicious form of antipolice bias." The First Lady, who had already apologized for the murder remark, was more cautious in her reaction. She asked people "to strive for a better understanding of the incredible risk police face," and for police and citizens...
