Maybe it's proof that you don't get your info from the more complete sources. This story was all over the place.

 

no reason we should be hearing about this now, had a suspect shot and killed a boy like that, the video would of been aired that night, this is why ALL police-cams need to be auto uploaded to a 3rd party for review

when the police investigate their own... there is a conflict of interest

.

 

Why yes they are. They were arrested shortly after.

Kind of flips the intent of this thread a bit, doesn't it?

 

`
Your facts prove nothing other than this story had a limited market and time exposure. It certainly was not played up the way the corporate media now plays up situations that involve white officers and black victims. Remember the Milwaukee riot just recently? That story suddenly went cold when these two facts emerged; a) it was a black officer who shot the black victim and b) the black victim's friend, who was present at the time, has admitted he was indeed branding a gun (after the media was reporting that he was unarmed).

 

agree... all lives mater.. bad cops are bad regardless of ones race.... time to punish and remove bad cops from the force, not give them paid holidays

and end the war on drugs, the war is why so many bad cops and citizens exist imo

 

See the big difference is that as in this case the cops were arrested and charged, now in most of the cases where a white cop shoots and kills an unarmed black man they are usually never arrested and if they are the chances of them being convicted is almost unheard of.

 

That's right, some of us haven't heard anything about this story until just recently.

So you gave us 5 sources that covered that story last year. That terrible story was covered once by those sources - and not made into real news "story" - not the way Liberal media usually covers one when it's white-on-black and that story is then covered 24/7 (see CNN).

 

Spot on.

Liberals, always on the defense of their media.

 

It happened last year. What the hell do you expect?

That's because the cops were arrested in this case. So while there was outrage, it was limited to the fact that the boy was killed and not that an unarmed boy was killed and the cops were let off scott-free. Do you understand the difference here?

 

`
BUT....this is story is getting all but ignored by the corporate media, seemingly because it does not contain the social commentary it wants to push.

 

Usually never arrested? Exactly what does that mean? Just as when suspects are arrested, the police, suspects, and circumstances are different in each case. 'Usually never' is meaningless and simple-minded.

 

There are folks who are murdered everyday and no one even hears about it. If the officers had not been arrested and put on trial you probably would have heard about the story because there would have been an injustice that would be taking place.

I can use case after case after case where this has been the norm. Sorry.

Exactly, the corporate media only hypes and pushes stories that not only sell tragedy but push their own social agenda. Black on black or white on white crime gets little or no national coverage unless it is a white, preferable cop, shooting a black. Two black cops shooting a white 6 year old? Can't push that. It's not politically correct.

 

Fact:were the little boy black, and the officers white there would be millions of dollars in damages from rioters. But they are racists who only care for black people. Well, they kinda care for black people...they still kill each other at astounding rates but you know...

 

Ridiculous, obtuse, arguing why the MSM didn't cover this, instead of the fact that our militant, rogue, out of control cops did it in the first place.

Sad state of affairs, truly.

 

Er, a limited market would be if it was'nt widely reported by the MASS MEDIA. As for time exposure, seems you aren't familiar with a little thing called the "news cycle".

But of course in your mind its all about media bias, despite the fact the officers in question are ON TRIAL, and the video was released as part of the evidence in that trial. Can't blame the media for the legal system, but keep trying.

 

The first time I am seeing this too, however in all fairness, I tend to ignore the News for long periods.

 

I live in Texas, less than 250 miles away, and it was all over the news when it happened. Including the little tidbit that one of the cops was stalking Few's fiance, and he and Few already had a confrontation over the stalking at Few's house. This was an attempted assassination of a romantic rival, which is why even the copsuckers want it to go away quietly.

 

Every shooting gets commented on by people in the street, I can't recall hearing anyone comment on this one, you would think people would have said something about it.

 

its annoying asf because when you try to point out these biased new channels your labeled a racist or "coon" if your black i mean (*)(*)(*)(*) being a jew i cant even say (*)(*)(*)(*) about anything like this around the family they all talk (*)(*)(*)(*) all the time about republicans (im independent lean to the left) but i cant say (*)(*)(*)(*) its (*)(*)(*)(*)ing annoying
