We have to change all this.

Those poor police officers! And their poor families!

Probably good guys.

Swept under the rug, because it would not advance the right-wing agenda.

and somehow they managed to capture him alive.

No, he's just an outlier, clearly not representative of all angry white men, unlike BLM and the black community at large, who obviously have a cop-killing agenda.

Have you ignored all network news and network news websites for the last 48 hours?




edited to add: Sorry OP, rereading my reply to your original post I realize I was a little snotty; I'm just taken aback by how many folks are saying the media is ignoring this, when frankly it seemed it's all the media was talking about on Wednesday.

I'm also concerned that by saying the media is ignoring it, we're not only implying that the media ignores white racists, but we're also implying that the media ignores cop killings, which plays right into what the right wants everyone to believe.

18. You appear to miss the concept of 'degrees'.

You appear to miss the relevant concept of 'degrees'. The concept implies a measure of both scale and relevance. A burn may span from 1st to 4th degree. It would be simplistic (or merely biased) to infer that both extremes of that measure are equivalent, yes?

The Difference in Degrees compel us to compare and contrast, to measure... all very complicated stuff I'm sure. Yet I think if you apply yourself, you can do it as well, even if the previous post, obvious and clear, confused you!

But we won't talk about that.

Btw, I've changed my email address, so I'm not even checking those anymore; you're wasting your time.

MSM depicted him as a loner, psychologically and socially challenged with mommy issues, not the Trump loving racist chump he is of an ever growing lynch mob. Why that's not mentioned is what's confusing....well being MSM, not really.

CBS has been running stories about the issue every morning. They have not gone into great detail about whether or not he is a Trump supporter, but they have been giving updates about the case.

Fri Nov 4, 2016, 10:55 AM
Nov 2016

from over the summer were covered. There was saturation coverage from the entire media for weeks on end. People were earnestly talking about the initial stages of a "race war."

Same thing happened when those loons from the Bundy Ranch went and killed two cops in Vegas a couple years ago. The story got barely any national coverage, and nobody tied the ant-government/anti-law enforcement rhetoric of the bunnies to that horrible event.


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Las_Vegas_shootings


Additionally, where the "blue lives matter" movement? Shouldn't that fascist clown, Sheriff Clarke, be screaming at the top of his lungs about this all day long on Fox?

I've recent found out that his Sheriff's Department has very little authority in his county outside of policing parks and highways that aren't within municipal jurisdictions and operating the county courthouse and jail.

That means Sheriff Clarke is nothing more than a glorified local jailer who parades around in his ridiculous 10 starred uniform as if he were the head of a major department like the NYPD or LAPD. If he weren't black cop who's willing to viciously attack other black people en masse. Nobody would no or care who he is.

What kind of person would support a candidate like him? He's bringing murderers, he's been a rapist, and he probably does drugs. HE'S THE ONE DOING ALL THESE TERRIBLE THINGS!

A man hunted down and killed two cops in two separate locations in Iowa, and the Trump campaign ignores it.

CHILD RAPE!!! Yet a private email server is in national headlines every single day. It's absolute madness. It's no wonder people the world over view the US as one giant insane asylum.

Due diligence and responsible journalism goes out the window when Clinton is the subject.
