A white man shot black law enforcement officers this week, ultimately killing four of them and wounding four more, and he did it as they were attempting to arrest him for breaking gun control laws. Where are all the stories about white supremacy and assault weapons bans?

Wait, never mind. The suspect is black and all four victims are white. Nothing to see here, after all!

Its interesting how that works. Just shy of four years ago, our national news media and Democrats in general declared it time for a racial reckoning because one erratic fentanyl addict died of a heart attack in custody after a cop attempted to wrestle him under control. We havent stopped hearing about it since. But on Monday, Terry Clark Hughes Jr., 39, under warrant for illegal firearm possession and evading arrest, allegedly greeted police arriving to take him into custody by raining rounds of bullets on them using his rifle from the second story of a nondescript suburban home.

Hughes was killed in the shootout, but so were officers Sam Poloche, Alden Elliot, Joshua Eyer, and Thomas Weeks. Did I mention they were simply trying to arrest Hughes for illegally owning a gun, a breach of laws Im promised by the media are vital to the safety of every man, woman, and child in America?

Without being too blunt here: Its because Hughes is BLACK.

Not even a month ago, the media had us on the verge of Floyd 2.0 after a 26-year-old man allegedly initiated gunfire on police from his SUV. Authorities were pulling Dexter Reed over for a traffic violation and commanding that he open his window when he allegedly pulled the trigger, only to receive a barrage of bullets from police in return, striking him 13 times total.

But hey, none of the police involved were killed, so no biggie! The real issue is that Reed himself died because hes BLACK.

Washington Post: Police fire 96 shots in 41 seconds, killing Black man during traffic stop.

CNN: The family of Dexter Reed, a 26-year-old Black man who was killed in a hail of bullets fired by police during a traffic stop

Associated Press: Video shows the 26-year-old Black man briefly lowering a window and then raising it and refusing to exit the vehicle as more officers arrived

Guess who didnt mention the race of the black man who just allegedly killed four white cops with an illegally owned gun. Answer: None of the above. Neither did The New York Times, CBS, NBC, or ABC. Nor did the Times, the Post, or the AP post a photo of Hughes.

To their credit, ABC, CBS, and CNN at least published Hughes mugshot from a previous offense, one of many on his extensive criminal record. Meanwhile, the Times only mention of the word black in its coverage was to describe the color of the SWAT team vehicles outside the house where he was hiding.

But I can promise you this article is the last thing youll hear of Hughes, at least so far as his race is concerned. Sure, its an election year, but even though he allegedly killed four officers, injured an additional four, and did so with an illegally owned gun, its not quite what the media are looking for in their next George Floyd. If only he hadnt killed and wounded nearly 10 people while running from the cops with an unlawful firearm, he might have been the medias next hero.

Pedro Snchez is threatening to tighten control of the media, blaming news reports for prompting a judge to open a criminal investigation into his wifes finances.

The Spanish prime minister said that the opening of the case against Begoa Gmez, who was alleged to have used her position to peddle influence, has led him to crack down on a right-wing mud machine. He added that the move was part of what he called democratic regeneration.

Snchez said in a radio interview on Tuesday that he wants to tackle websites and digital pages, which he referred to as pseudomedia that affects all democracies.

Snchez confirmed that he would stay on as prime minister after suspending his public duties for five days

Remember the days of brands yelling at you from giant signs or having a perfect stranger tell you how great their product was on TV? Those days may or may not be over, but social media has changed a lot of things. It's no longer a one-way street where brands talk down to you. Now, it's a conversation a chance to connect with real people who use your stuff.

When social media started, it was all about getting your name out there. Everyone rushed to claim their spot on MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter. It didn't matter much what you said, as long as you said something. But those days are gone. Today's social media jungle is crowded, and people need more exciting messages. People are done with being told what to do. People are done with brands, and creators showcase picture-perfect lives and products. People are done with curated feeds. People need authencity. People need emotions. People need feelings. People need humans. Humans are working behind the brands. They want to connect with the real people behind the brand the folks who design the products, write the posts, and maybe even make the occasional mistake (we all do!).

When you go to a party, you don't just stand there talking about yourself all night, do you? Social media is the same. You need to chat with people, share stories, and find things you have in common with your audience (basically, your guests at this party).

So, how do you win friends and influence people (without being annoying) in this dynamic social media world? Here are some tips:

While some essential points are covered above, we must also understand that trust is the foundation of any genuine friendship and is no different online. With social media, people have all the information they need. They can see through fancy marketing and sniff out a fake from a mile away.

So, how do you build trust? Be honest and upfront about your company, products, and mistakes. Did someone have a bad experience with your product? Acknowledge it, explain how to fix it, and show that you take their feedback seriously.

Social media is constantly changing, and the line between the online and natural worlds is blurring more and more. Expect to see even crazier stuff in the future, like experiences that come to life with special glasses or interactive content. Brands that can use these new things to create fun and engaging experiences will be the ones who genuinely connect with their fans.

Social media has the power make or break brands and help them connect with their audience more deeply. By being yourself, having honest conversations, and sharing your story, you can build genuine friendships with your fans, which translates to loyalty, sales, and even a few laughs. The easiest way to lose the interest of a highly distracted audience is being a robot.
