In this case it was a homicide suspect who was trying to escape through the park. I was asked the same thing, and I did happen to see the guy (he was running off the trail along the parkway wall) and the guy was a black man with dreads.
Edit, more specifically wearing a forest green hoodie and grey pants.

Daniel Shaver is the only white guy I know off the top of my head and honestly I had to look up his name cause I just remember him as that pest control guy the cops shot

That doesn’t fit the description of what they were asking about at all

If you care to educate me on what it is, by all means do so. Investigating every black runner in a large public park seems like casting a very wide net.

I saw the guy as I was leaving the park; he was running parallel to the parkway toward the tunnel opposite the trail. Three cops came running by a minute later, guns drawn, and I heard on their radio that he was armed apparently. Kinda scary, I didn't know what was up but the guy did stop and we stared at each other for a minute.

When you’re here, you’re family.
Damn straight.

Yup it was a perfect storm but besides George Floyd we all probably know names of multiple black folks murdered by cops and probably like 0 white folks. Given the statistics on such events it is clear the media has a bias in one direction. Fear and anger generates clicks and revenue, and making things seem like some sort of police race war helps generate the fear and anger.
One example that sticks out to me is a man who was running from cops and killed himself with a gun running into target. The cops caught up to him and tried to help. People on Twitter posted the videos of them standing next to him, and within minutes the target was looted and destroyed because people just assumed what happened. The genesis of these skewed perceptions is the media.

Does it have to be a target or could it be an Aldi's?

Awful = opinions I don't like. Best hot takes on politics on Reddit = sort by controversial

That's the owner's dad, I believe. He apparently likes to chat with people he already knows and ignore people he doesn't, though. I know someone who (I wasn't there, but the story goes) spent their birthday just sobbing waiting to be seated for an hour because he bumped several friends of his in front of her reservation.

Carbonaras in Mt Lebanon is great, just outside the city in the south hills. But not deep roving south hills, a respectable distance.

Democrats have successfully convinced their electorate that racism is such a big problem that they've forgotten to fight for much bigger problems like healthcare reform. Sad to see, but whatever. Dems are getting paid off just like the Repubs. It's all part of the plan!

I'd suggest the Pleasure Bar in Bloomfield.

Love that spot!
Also I recommend Bella’s (formerly Delallo’s - same owners) in Bethel Park. Great food, big portions, classic old school vibe.
