Like I said earlier cop shouldnt have manhandled the black chick, but she shouldnt have been in his face yelling, when you look at that video of a few kids instantly surrounding the cop with one of them with his hands where he cant see, the drawing of the gun seems wholly appropriate and he holstered it as soon as the kid started running. The black girl shouldnt have gotten manhandled but she shouldnt have been yelling in the cops face either, looks like two idiots met up with each other, and predictably it had a bad outcome. This situation certainly isnt worthy of protest, I feel sorry for the residents of this area, soon we will probably be able to chalk another left wing race riot up to blatant irresponsibility on behalf of the mainstream media. At some point I hope that these guys end up being found liable for the millions of dollars in damages their bullshit narrative keeps on causing.
Well, you know the media is a for profit business, so if the readers and viewers generally wanted to hear the rightist point of view then we would have a rightist media. Take solace in Fox.
One of the fundamental issues is that the "news media" has gotten away from reporting the facts as being of primary importance. In the old days, at least the media stories would report all of the known facts and then venture to give an opinion - while separating the two in the broadcast. News today is more entertainment focused rather than fact based. Coupled with the bias of the reporters and owners (both left and right) - we have arrived at the situation now where the fact-free news with spin is effectively one big infomercial for shoveling the views of wealthy political backers on the population with minimal regard for the truth.
That's right. No likely scenario that caused the police officer to leave the girl alone for the first 15 minutes, then walk up to her, hear her mouth go off and smash her face into the pavement. Regardless of what happened prior to the video starting, it is obvious the teen who got her head shoved into the pavement was guilty of mouthing off only. If the officer was under "duress" then he is in the wrong job. What's going to happen when he's really in danger? I grew up in urban NJ, just outside NYC. I'm quite aware of diversity and would appreciate you not assuming anything about me. You don't have to agree with me. We're allowed to have different viewpoints. I would appreciate you respecting mine as I've always done yours.
