    So you take no responsibility whatsoever for your statement? There we have it indeed. Way to completely ignore your own statement that I guess you probably wish you had never made seeing as it is such a bad comparison right? That makes sense I guess.

    You're asking the news aggregator, one who has no original thoughts of his own, to take responsibility? That's funny.

    That's right, he doesn't understand nuance. Black and white and copy and paste. :laugh:

    Seriously? Are you indicating you didn't expect this.?

    Open your eyes, man. Look who's behind it and who's involved.

    No other outcome was even remotely possible.

    Well I expected something but I was hoping it wouldn't be the case. I think you were onto something when you mentioned out of town protestors a while ago. A lot of reports seem to indicate that local protestors were upset that outsiders wanted to capitalize on the chaos was unfolding. So I think you had a good point about outsiders being opportunistic.

    CNN was interviewing a married african-american couple who owned a business that only had one window broken before the looters were stopped by others. They said the looters, plunderers, pilferers, thieves weren't peaceful rioters, but criminals...

    You can always watch CNN or Fox read from the teleprompter. When they aren't running for cover.

    So he is there. Fantastic. I'm sure he will be helpful. :rolleyes:

    Yeah I probably will stick to those networks. Better than this.

    Actually he's not there. Suit yourself.

    Probably best if you just stick to your sides talking points anyway. Wouldn't want you to get disoriented trying to think outside your box. :smilewinkgrin:

    Yeah I'm really known around for being a lockstep Republican. :confused: You can just stick to the guy who makes wild and outrageous predictions (which usually end up being wrong) for the simlpletons that aren't smart enough to know they are being had by a hack.

    Yeah the corporations always know best.

    Here's something outside your box to think about. Don't try to hard though it can be dangerous if you aren't used to it.

    1. Strengthen the selection process and psychological screening process for police recruits. Police departments are simply a microcosm of the greater society. If your screening standards encourage corrupt and forceful tendencies, you will end up with a larger concentration of these types of individuals;

    2. Provide ongoing, examples-based training and simulations. Not only telling but showing police officers how they are expected to behave and react is critical;

    3. Require community involvement from police officers so they know the districts and the individuals they are policing. This will encourage empathy and understanding;

    4. Enforce the laws against everyone, including police officers. When police officers do wrong, use those individuals as examples of what not to do – so that others know that this behavior will not be tolerated. And tell the police unions and detective endowment associations they need to keep their noses out of the justice system;

    5. Support the good guys. Honest cops who tell the truth and behave in exemplary fashion should be honored, promoted and held up as strong positive examples of what it means to be a cop;

    6. Last but not least, police cannot police themselves. Develop permanent, independent boards to review incidents of police corruption and brutality—and then fund them well and support them publicly. Only this can change a culture that has existed since the beginnings of the modern police department

    Notice this doesn't involve choosing a side and repeating their talking points until the next "big story" breaks? Having trouble comprehending that aren't ya?

    Another case of your preconceived notions getting in the way again.

    See I knew you'd have trouble comprehending that. You might have had better luck if you actually read the whole essay. Or at least look to see who the author is.

    But you already know it all so what's the point right?

    In the midst of a media frenzy, and a statement from the prosecution in the Michael Brown case slamming the corporate media’s “insatiable appetite” for shocking headlines, one local news station epically underplayed its coverage of the grand jury’s decision in Ferguson, with a series of tweets about dancing celebrities.

    While the cable news channels scrolled “breaking news” banners for hours running up to the decision, before there was any breaking news, and had reporters running around the town in a blind panic, ABC affiliated WTVC NewsChannel 9 advised its viewers to chill out because the normal mind numbing programming would not be interrupted.

    I'll let ya get back to repeating those talking points now. :wavey:
