Had the media reported the incident objectively, the shooting probably would have been pretty much a non-event. Instead of headlines like "Convenience-store robber killed as he attacks cop", we were deluged by headlines like "Cop guns down unarmed black teenager." The reporting that followed these headlines was similar in tone.

I have CNN News on right now, and the distorted reporting continues.

Everyone has been blamed but the one person! This boy would be alive today if he had not stole the box of cigars! !

This thread is about to be closed. But why you ask?

Because users are directing comments at other users and making political references. When it takes too much time to prune out all the violators we close it down which is not what we desire so we ask for everyone's cooperation to have an adult conversation accordingly.

Thanks in advance,

TOTV Team

[QUOTE=Walter123;972684]This thread won't last long before it gets shut down.

This was in the second post on this thread. It lasted way longer than I thought it would.

What's there to be said anyway?

Pive... I stand by my original statement and so disagree with yours. Facts?
