Synopsis: The police security are disposing of all comic books into a flaming pit in order to confuse the media. When Little Zemo asks why do they need to confuse the media, one of the policemen takes out his revolver and says "So we can get away with more stuff! Like killing more black people!". He proceeds to shoot the black character in the story, point blank in the head.

Indexer Notes

Two page story developed in seven separate panels placed horizontally in the comic book. Features a disturbing rendition of a white police officer shooting a black character guised as a clown-looking African native.
