    who cares about the race, these were children that committed a senseless crime, the news can't mention them as they are children

    Although, it's a good way of seeing just how much the media are in the tank for Democrats.

    Well it certainly wasn't CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post or New York Times. Or ANY of the Big 5, other than Fox.

    If you find that normal, Chris, I don't know if I'll be able to get you to understand; she is using the fact that she expects police to be over-aggressively racist towards a black man, & clearly believes that her neighbor understands this to be a fact as well. She is using that institutional racism, among the agency that is meant to enforce the law, to serve and protect, as a weapon, to threaten some guy, who is NOT threatening her, only irritating her by filming her on his camera as she breaks the leash law, which is clearly posted. If you you don't find that utterly ironic, extremely telling as to the state of affairs, at least in the public opinion, about police behavior, as well as a demonstration of a very concerning ramification of this police bias, in this totally unexpected way a person, if she's enough of a bitch, can use it against any black man, in an extortionist way, then I don't know what to tell you.

    maybe in your country, not in the USA

    that is unless your watching FOX, MSNBC or Newsmax, then you have partisan news

    we get it though, other countries want to divide the USA up based on race, party and anything else they think might help destroy America from the inside

    Why the hell would media in MY country be in the tank for Democrats?

    And CNN, and Washington Post, and NY Times? So all of the GIANT media corporations then?

    What does this have to do with your argument that the media are NOT in the tank for Democrats?

    That sounds like the playbook that Putin has been using against the US for years, most recently with trump's help.
    The orange dotard did more to destroy America from the inside than any foreigner ever could from the outside.

    you tell me, you're in that country, and you seem to post here almost every day, is your country in the tank for Trump?

    The thugs pursued Arbery because they thought that he was breaking into houses. What is racist about that?

    Well, this is simply your assumption.

    Exactly, 'institutional racism' is the media's narrative. And that story fit that narrative PERFECTLY! Stories such as this one do not.

    Even if she thought that the police treat black men more harshly, this does not mean that the police treat black men more harshly.

    Be honest. Do you really think that it would have been treated in the EXACT same way if it was a white man?

    Sure. Because he was black. Simple!

    And yet, you cannot say either way if all media is obsessed with race! How telling that you aren't even saying that they DO NOT obsess with race, even though you say that you see "plenty" of media! If you do see "plenty", then you should be able to give an opinion either way! How sad for you. :roflol:

    You're assuming that Chauvin's actions killed Floyd. What would be the purpose of the trial if we knew that for certain?

    Give me one other reasonable explanation for her actions-- including warning him that she was going to tell the police that a BLACK MAN was harrassing/ threatening her. Her belief, her expectation of his belief, and so her tactic is EXTREMELY OBVIOUS to anyone who is not being willfully blind.

    This is a public interest story that, as I said, demonstrates this woman's impression of the NYPD-- which matches the expectation of much of the story's audience-- thereby using her attitude as a proxy for the public, at least in NYC; the noteworthy part of it being that most would not use that police bias purposely against a black man who they knew presented no danger, but just out of spite.

    Yes, this is a media narrative, one which this video would, at least superficially, appear to support.

    I did not say it was proof. I have, this entire time, been talking about PUBLIC IMPRESSION, and Expectation/Belief. It is both interesting, & telling, just on that level.

    That is ONE purpose of the trial, which seems to have effectively done this, but it is only the jury's verdict that really matters.

    The other purpose of the trial is to determine which charge, for killing Floyd, is most appropriate: 2nd degree manslaughter, 3rd degree murder, or 2nd degree murder.

    Alright, I grant you that. I had forgotten the details of the case. You will know it better than me given that you read the story recently.

    What "expectation?"

    Perceived police bias.

    Yes, a narrative based on a lie.

    Oh, so the trial hasn't revealed a BUNCH of reasonable doubt?
