Apologies if the breaking news alert disrupted your day!

Well, often defined as once a year? (if that)
They should probably not keep that store open 24/7. Close at midnight, open at 5 AM (or whatever hour business picks up).

This is racist reporting. How can they use the word "black" when referring to a criminal?

Because "Black" is an accepted race category by blacks and the US government.
Try this next time your fingers are at the keyboard after reading an article. Think....wait....think some more......wait.....type. Let's see how that works.
