Hey Philadelphia Inquirer, why did you censor the accused cop killer telling multiple cops in the emergency room, "if the cops were black, he would not have shot them?" You quoted from the same police report I had, but left the racial angle out. Why? Then, after I printed it, you reluctantly added it to your story. Why the censorship?

I wonder why Big Trial is the only media outlet to report this. Looks like the Inquirer had access to the same police report that I did.

The Inquirer is now confirming the racial angle to this murder. But they don't say why they censored it in the first place when they had the same police report that I did.
