The demand for racism in this country far exceeds the supply.

Did you read the general Hate speech coming out of Saskatchewan after this incident occurred? The racism exists. An elected official said that the only problem was leaving witnesses. The social media posts around this were disgusting.
Within the last 20 years Saskatoon cops murdered Native men by dropping them off outside the city drunk to walk home in the winter.
Was this event motivated by racism? I don't believe so. Was the investigation tainted by racism, probably. Was Stanley's defense funded by racists? Absolutely.
Race became an issue not because of the media but because of the number of white people who legitimately believe it was okay to shoot an Indian.
