Another police shooting
 

Major news reported a police shooting of a black man yesterday. Showed the black man refusing to listen to the police then reached into his car for something, then police shot him.

Why can't they just listen to the police for the moment. Now it is the policeman's fault. Bad kids.

It’s the culture of the people getting shot. They see the martyrdom that the trash thug felon George Floyd created and with no common sense in their thought process; they pull a gun, fight the Police, run and draw a weapon - over and over and over - anything other than what common sense would tell them to do.

When pulled over by police they will watch your hands to make sure you will not threaten them.

Why is this so hard.

Now they will have excuses to destroy more businesses and loot.

The victim, Jacob Blake, criminal record as recent as July 2020 includes:

-Stragulation

-Bail jumping

- Assult

-Sexual Assult

-Domestic Violence

I doubt this was reported on MSM. 'This' being his violent criminal record.

This has been going on way before the Floyd incident with the lost of respect.

It seems to be very well covered in all media.

Always wonder the need to condemn those who report what is happening.

It's a bad decision to test the police officer's will to survive given the short reaction time he has and placing the officer in that position. People just blatantly think they can do what they want now. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Sad this person didn't value his own life.

Where did this happen!

Kenosha, Wisconsin

Yup well covered in the media, yet the teenage girl who was killed by 4 black youths was barely publicized. National media covering that...........maybe very lightly. Then there was the 6 year old who was shot and killed by a black neighbor. We're screwed in plain English.

To take the racial focus off the shooting....all police involved shootings that day should be reported.
Secondly all non police shootings listed for that day as well.

The medias continual, selective race reporting/promoting needs to be put into the perspective of reality VS selective out of context, sensationalism seeking, disruptive reporting.

You nailed it

Sometimes I marvel at the sheer...whatever....of this forum. If you simply google the poor girls name, you will find pages...not page, but pages of news reports yet you all say it is not reported.

What do you read for news. Having people blame the media like this is scary because it points out how some control so many others.

Addressing the actual issue seems to be a lost "art" or ability.

"The media" is not a singular thing. IT - the singular thing that doesn't exist, doesn't "focus on specific incidents" any more than "The media" - any other singular thing that doesn't exist, focuses on specific incidences.

The category of "the media" includes all media. A spectrum of media that ranges from tweets on the internet to live coverage of disasters to National Geographic investigative 4-part report series on the reproductive cycle of arachnids, and everything inbetween.

Each will have its own perspective of facts, and each will relay those facts in a way that will grab the interest of its paid subscribers most.

Mainstream Media doesn't even mean anything anymore, OTHER than as a dogwhistle for the alt-right and leftist propaganda mills. It basically means "any form of media that is pushing an agenda that OUR agenda-creators disagree with."

White Nationalists will hate Ebony magazine, because Ebony magazine promotes topics of interest to black people. Ebony magazine will hate Stormfront, because Stormfront promotes topics of interest to Nazis.

The networks, ABC, NBC, and CBS, cater to middle America, because middle America are who watch those networks the most.

Once people get their heads out of their leftist, alt-right, nazi, racist, anti-male, anti-female, anti-pro-choice, anti-choice, anti this that and the other thing butt cheeks, they'll have the opportunity to realize that facts really do exist, and facts are not always conspiracies, and conspiracies are often wrong.

Til then, keep enjoying the bubble you've put around your head while living in the bubble. And remember that bubble isn't a mask. Please wear one when you go grocery shopping.

Thanks.
