It shows what really angers me about these quick takes that get posted so quickly. The talking points last night, which were being shared widely by major news networks, do not reflect what we saw this morning. Pushing it on the night of the Floyd verdict makes it even more irresponsible. It was a good reminder that I need to wait for details to come out before the hot take though. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you're saying, but at the same time - literally every witness account was not what the body cam footage showed. The media is naturally going to take the witness accounts and run with it. However, it is the media's responsibility to correct it today. That said, I'm rather certain that the conversation will be about 'should deadly force have been used' vs. the girl was the aggressor and wielding a knife in a threatening manner when she was shot.

Just as an aside, I like how you framed this. No finger pointing at the media or anyone else, " It was a good reminder that I need to wait for details".

Warhead36 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I'm pleasantly surprised he got guilty verdict on everything. I was expecting they'd find a way to get him off on at least one murder charge. Lock his ass up for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember how every mass shooting was "reports of multiple active shooters"? And then 6-8 hours later, there's only one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 They don't wear robes or burn crosses, but I can see the Klan supporters on Twitter. The ones who acted like, "would people call this justice if he was acquited", "Super Bowl Riots are on now!", "they chanting no justice, no peace... but now there is justice we still wont get peace". The ones crying about "people getting fired and cancelled for an anonymous donation to a white guy who shot protestors." It's sad my kids know about racism... maybe our grandchildren will be able to wipe this from society. I'm the first in my family rooting for Justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Trayvon Martin and all the countless naneless who look nothing like me that deserve equal, not racist treatment. I guess that's a small bit of progress. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda seems like both are wrong at least the media is just being lazy and going for ratings. Police are lying. 43 minutes ago, Corcaigh said: Does this also apply to police departments issuing false statements without looking at bodycam footage? Yeah of course. are you always gonna make comments like this or can you just accept that everyone here is pretty much on the same page at this point? just curious if every single time one of us makes a comment critical of the witnesses, or media, if we must include some line about how we also think the police are pieces of **** or something Edited April 21, 2021 by tshile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) 34 states considering anti-protest bills introduced by Republicans: report Republican lawmakers in 34 states have introduced more than 80 anti-protest bills thus far in the 2021 legislative session following months of civil unrest and ongoing protests against police brutality. Elly Page, a senior legal adviser at the International Center for Not-for-Profit Law that tracks bills limiting the right to protest, told The New York Times Wednesday that so far this year, the number of anti-protest bills are already more than double the number introduced in any other year. The legislative proposals include those which GOP lawmakers say attempt to combat rioting and support law enforcement personnel in responding to unlawful protests. The bills come following months of demonstrations spurred in part by the May police killing of George Floyd. Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who kneeled on Floyd’s neck for roughly nine minutes, was found guilty Tuesday of murder and manslaughter. Click on the link for the full article I guess we'll see some lawsuits regard the Constitutionality of those bills should they be enacted into law in consideration of the whole First Amendment thing: "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
