10,000 Strong Peacefully Protest In Downtown Baltimore, Media Only Reports The Violence & Arrest of Dozens



10,000 people from across the country peacefully protested in Baltimore in support of the seeking of justice of the death of Freddie Gray. Despite the fact that 100 of the 10,000 acted up and approximately 35 people were arrested after the peaceful protest, (that’s about 1%), much of the mainstream media used attention grabbing words in their headlines like ‘Protest Turns Destructive, (USA Today)’ ‘Scenes of Chaos In Baltimore… (NY Times), Dozens Arrested After Protest Turns Violent (WBAL TV). One website BreitBart.com’s headlines read: 1,000 Black Rioters In Baltimore Smash Police Cars, Attack Motorists In Frenzied Protest.

The truth is you had 10,000 plus people come together in unity in support of the fight for justice for Freddie Gray. While the numbers vary, 100 or so were the ones you saw acting up on the news and the 35 persons who were arrested were the ones you read about. But reporting that won’t bring in the ratings that attract a heavy advertising revenue.

CNN reported: Protesters angry over the death of Freddie Gray got into physical altercations with police Saturday night in downtown Baltimore near the city’s famed baseball stadium.

Some of the hundreds who confronted lines of police officers got into shoving matches with helmeted cops while other demonstrators threw objects. At least five police cars were damaged by people who smashed windows and jumped on them.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said she was profoundly disappointed by the violence, adding that 95% of the protesters were respectful but a “small group of agitators intervened.”

Time.com reported: The demonstration was aimed at police, who had Gray in their custody when he suffered injuries that would prove fatal. Baltimore police said 35 people, including four juveniles, were arrested and six officers suffered minor injuries during the latest protest.

4. Psssst! Hey, media! PROTESTERS AND RIOTERS ARE NOT THE SAME

Here we go again with every major news network conflating protesters with rioters. Not everyone protesting is a rioter prone to violence. Conversely, riots are not the same as protests. Quit being sloppy.

8. frikken media CONGLOMERATES are segregating the news.

That controls their audience by way of keeping huge numbers of people clueless. Easy for them to do this to a huge audience. Since they own the *ahem* real estate.

In the same way that they clear the image of black people, they sexify the image of women.

They tailor themselves to that demographic that thinks that way. Problem is, how huge a monopoly they are.

10. typical amerikkkan media ploy

every POC is 'bad' and a rioter. If I was able to get to b-more, I would have been right in that crowd. Be damned the amerikkkan media and ALL those who want to put these demonstrators in the same group as some who may have let their frustrations and anger get the best of them.

12. It's all about ratings

They want a headline that makes people to learn an headline that makes people tune in. For the media it's all about the color green not black or white.
