    We know you do. If it was still legal, I'm sure you would also enjoy watching them being lynched, burned alive, dragged behind trucks down gravel roads, torn to pieces, and raped to death. It's your legacy and history, after all. Embrace the hate! Savor its bitterness! Your days are almost done.

    There are some sick, deranged people in this old world.

    Cheering innocent people losing their life's work and buildings being burned to the ground under the pretext one cop did something.

    I am livid watching this shit. These people surely know how to alienate the average person.

    You're correct I cited the wrong article. Try this one on for size.
    The responses across the nation, whether you call them riots (and you shouldn’t) or whether you call them protests, uprisings, unrest, or rebellions, are being covered by local and national news and social media. As a journalism professor who has studied and experienced media coverage of protests for years, I have watched repeatedly how poorly these events are conveyed by the media and understood by the public. Here’s what people watching the news must understand in order to get what’s truly going on, and keep your faith in America nominally intact in the process.
    First, it’s important to understand the mandate of the news, and that is to get eyeballs on the screen, whether that is your television screen or the one in your hands. Networks focus on spectacle: fires, people crying, and broken windows, instead of the larger story. In most cases (such as with the Ferguson, Missouri, and Baltimore, Maryland, protests a few years ago), property damage and fires are limited to a small area, and even during those times many people are just milling about, but shaking camera angles and tight shots want you to believe that every reporter is an extra in Saving Private Ryan and every protest looks like Kanye’s “No Church in the Wild” video.
    In reality, these protests are usually not completely consumed with chaos. Nighttime coverage will seldom show a full city map demonstrating that, two blocks over from a street that looks like a “city engulfed in flames,” there’s a CVS still open for business. The press flocking to dramatic images as a protest metaphor is not a new phenomenon.

    Indeed, TOP.

    Rioting, burning and looting, stealing cell phones and TV’s have squat to do with justice.

    The police officer has been charged and there will be a trial.

    This is never mentioned by those who condone the rioting, burning and looting.

    Yet, they support killer cops. Isn’t it ironic. I don’t support violence or destruction and neither do you, we simply see how it has developed, that is far different from supporting it.

    I'm not sure what your point is, other than trying to prove that I did not, in fact, see other aspects of the death of Floyd and its aftermath covered on our chosen news network.

    As for the events in Ferguson, as you'll recall we lived in the STL area during those dark days. I lived in Ferguson in the mid-1970s. So we were well-aware of the geography and the fact that the entire town did not burn down as some news media portrayed it. We also saw extensive coverage (both local and on national outlets) about the life of Michael Brown, interviews with his parents, footage of the peaceful aspects of the protests, interviews with community leaders and civic leaders of Ferguson, news about the cop accused of shooting him, how he and his family had to go into hiding, etc. etc. We're well-informed. Those who only see flames and riot police are not.

    Yes, the media focuses on the dramatic; they always have. People who want the whole story look at multiple sources. What's your whole point here?

    Ditto. All I see of him are his pathetic impotent groans, and his toxic ass-kissing. lol

Well you constantly accuse me of covering for Trump so I can only assume by your lack of interest you agree with Trumps possible illegal action.

    Awwwee, such a sad sad story. I tink I may cwry.

    Not.

    Fuck these pieces of shit, white, black, if you're a criminal -- time to meet your maker. Would love to see the ignorant, snot-nosed Antifa terrorists get sprayed with bullets by LE, as well.

    Maybe you can find a nasty, stinking criminal to take into your home, cuddle up with and regale each other with stories about the "bad orange man".

    That's because they're rioting, burning and looting just to riot, burn and loot....this is not about justice for George Floyd...not in any way, shape, or form...those who think it is?
    They're just lost....

    Unfortunately most of our Reichwing friends suffer from black-and-white thinking, pun intended. They are truly incapable of understanding that just because someone can see the reasons for something (like the protests/rioting), doesn't mean that they condone it as well. All we've gotten so far here from trying to explain is their lies that "you n-lovers support looters and arsonists" and the idiotic insistence that the news only shows that and nothing else. Sheesh.
