What if he had been black and poor?

Today's headline news in the UK is the story of a young barrister with an income of 500,000 GBP per year, living in Chelsea, who died in a gun siege - not clear whether he shot himself or the police shot him. There's a huge amount of debate about this case.

I wonder if he would have got as many column inches had he been a poor black man in East London?
