Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Austin-East Magnet High School shooting
For those arguing for merge or delete, I'd like you to take another look at what happened in this case so far and how it is actually being covered by . A black teenager was killed at school during an armed confrontation with the police. The original police account of the shooting turned out to be crucially incorrect. There is a bodycam video that the DA is refusing the release, despite a mounting community pressure to do so and a court suit by the city itself seeking to release the video. There have been escalating local racial justice protests over the shooting. The dead student's family hired ''the'' highest profile lawyer for these types of cases, Ben Crump, to represent them. The national media continues to cover the case in-depth. Just from earlier today we have APhttps://apnews.com/article/us-news-shootings-knoxville-tennessee-2f17b23ab01abc982cc937c73cb33ea3, Newsweekhttps://www.newsweek.com/regina-perkins-mother-anthony-thompson-jrs-girlfriend-regrets-calling-police-who-shot-1584700, Huffington Posthttps://www.huffpost.com/entry/anthony-thompson-knoxville-school-shooting_n_607da110e4b001abc4dfa439, and even international media https://newsdome.co.za/a-tennessee-teen-was-killed-by-police-inside-his-school-heres-what-we-know/. Today's NYT storyhttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/19/us/minnesota-school-walkout-chauvin-trial.html says that the Anthony Thompson case was mentioned at the Minnesota racial justice protest on Monday. Plus the local media in Knoxville continues to give the case high profile coverage. Calling this case "minor" completely disregards how the  have been covering it. The racial justice aspect of this case makes it different from many other school shootings and makes it highly improbable that in today's U.S. political, societal and media climate the story will quietly disappear
