From CNN:

"Black Lives Matter" Activist Killed Policeman Who Was Trying to Help Him Get His Family a Hotel Room for the Night
"Black Lives Do Matter"
Here, CNN reports the news, but does not highlight the most important part of the story in the headline.
CNN's headline is:
Police: Man kills Kentucky state trooper, is then shot dead by officers
But here's how the story really goes.
From CNN:
The episode began around 10:20 p.m. Sunday when Trooper Cameron Ponder pulled over a car driven by Joseph Thomas Johnson-Shanks along Interstate 24 in Trigg County.
Two women and two small children were in the vehicle with Johnson-Shanks, who is from Florissant, Missouri, according to Kentucky State Police spokesman Jay Thomas.
Ponder didn't tell dispatchers the reason for the traffic stop. But when he learned that the 25-year-old Johnson-Shanks' license had been suspended, he contacted a local deputy to arrange for a hotel room so he didn't have to take the driver to jail, Thomas said.
As he did, Johnson-Shanks took off. According to the state police spokesman, Ponder followed until the vehicle he was chasing abruptly pulled over about 10 miles away in Lyon County just before 11 p.m.
Ponder pulled his patrol car up against the other vehicle.
Then, Thomas said, Johnson-Shanks leaned out his window and fired -- striking the hood of Ponder's car, his windshield and the trooper himself.
The U.S. Navy veteran later died at a hospital in Princeton, a community about 50 miles east of Paducah.We can see it is true. Black lives do matter. A black man was alive, and he killed a man who was trying to help him.
Yes, in this case, this black man's life mattered crucially to the family of the man he killed.
If this particular Black man had not been alive, then the officer would still be alive.
Yes, Black lives do matter.
That's the takeaway from this story.
