Short version - dude is asleep in his bed, a whole swat team busts in, shooting through his bedroom window and taking a battering ram to his front door, over some claims about illegally owned firearms. He gets killed.
Which is bad enough on it's own, but gets even worse.
See, Duncan got killed - in an actual no-knock raid - on March 12th, 2020. The very next day, Breonna Taylor gets killed in a case where the cops did knock and her boyfriend fired on them. But, nobody was shouting Duncan's name for months, because he was a libertarian white guy and thus did not fit the narrative. Furthermore, when his parents tried to protest and demand justice for his death they were told that it was a public health risk and if they didn't leave they'd be arrested. Guess they should have broken into a few Best Buys, maybe they'd have been allowed to protest then.
Duncan perfectly illustrates the farcical nature of the whole Defund the Police narrative. If you actually wanted police reform, he is the absolute best story you could have. But, since his skin color, chromosomal makeup and politics are not appealing to the Woke Brigade, he is excluded and ignored, perfectly proving that they don't give a **** about any actual justice.
I don't particularly get pissed off at any piece of news. However the burning of the Notre-Dame is one that sticks out. That and the overall burning of churches with little to no response from people in general. I don't attend any church myself, but they are still big losses.
Any time a beautiful building gets torn down and replaced with a concrete/glass monstrosity is enough.
Duncan Lemp. Story from when it happened, Retrospective story with more details and investigation from months after

According to the second article I linked (the retrospective story) it appears that is the case.

I love that in this thread people are naming only white males.
One day the penny will drop. There is no white solidarity, because white women are at the top and we are at the bottom.
