    African Americans are four times as likely as whites to be killed by police according to U.S. justice department. Public protests arise from unnecessary deaths.   Perhaps, fearful police risk shooting first as a precaution in the most well armed population in the world?

    Damn, what a dumb@ss.  

    Whether you're right or wrong, anyone with a half a brain knows you don't threaten an officer.

    If you ask me, this guy had it coming to him.

    {Relatives of the African American man told media he was a good father to his eight-year-old daughter and seven-year-old twins and that the killing appeared unjustified. They said they they knew nothing about the gun, which was not registered to Robertson. Members of a small crowd which gathered at the scene shortly afterward shouted at police. Robertson’s nam

    e became a Twitter hashtag, as did that of the movement Black Lives Matter.}

    Early stages of this, but just you wait. This guy will become a hero, city of L.A. will pay his family $5,000,000, "Rev. Tweedle-dee & Al Tweedle-dum" will show up, and the city of Lynwood will be on fire by the end of the week.....

    I refuse to watch cbs news the  program on that channel might be worth watching well nothing comes to mind.
    sad to find the only true investigated journalists left bbc and aljazera..... I realize fox is biased right and nbc biased left abc owned by Disney is still very liberal I grew up watching walter kronkite. then I endured rather, by the time Katie showed up well I very little respect network
     now scott does nothing to even remotely measure to a kronkite standard. this era has gone from reporting to a david hume standard to almost entirely feature section to now the editorial page of a paper.

    You're right, as the taxpayer ultimately foots the bill.  

    These simpletons try to make him out as a martyr.  Portray him as a law-abiding, taxpaying citizen.  

    I'm sorry, but I think a lot of African Americans do it to themselves.  Another example of uneducated @ssholes with a mob mentality.

    I really feel bad for honest, honorable American blacks.  These box-muscles give them a bad name.

    The likes of soft  people like Swish and Detox may call me a racist, but this is the reality of the America we live in (or any other Western nation that blames Whitey for their inadequate problems).

    All I can say is this:  Stop making excuses and get off your lazy @ss Stop complaining.  No one hands out success stories; you have to earn it.  

     This is not a a fairy tale or a utopia gentlemen, this is the real world.

    love it when republicans diss california for being liberal. juss saying

    california brought u guys most of these websites. apple, yahoo, and all other tech companies.
    the movies u watch are all based in california. a democrat state.

    most actors are left-es.
    so stop watching these movies if u are right-e. avoid the race wars.
    avoid star wars. x-men and all the other left-e movies if u want ur kids to be right-e.

    it will only get worst. their will b trannies on tv. gays. and more black-es.u right-es will be super scared to turn on the tube soon!

    for instance watch "master of none" on netflix. this show has blacks, whites emailing racist emails. busta rhymes, indians and more indians.

    so stop watching these movies if u are right-e. avoid the race wars.
    avoid star wars. x-men and all the other left-e movies if u want ur kids to be right-e.

    it will only get worst. their will b trannies on tv. gays. and more black-es.u right-es will be super scared to turn on the tube soon!

    for instance watch "master of none" on netflix. this show has blacks, whites emailing racist emails. busta rhymes, indians and more indians.

    It's not that we "diss" people from the Left Coast, but personally, in my experience, I've met some self-entitled left wing puSSies from CA.  Not saying that everyone born, comes from or lives there is a soft person, but the majority of the guys there would be crying to mommy if they lived in a city on the East Coast.  

    As for the riots, look at what happened in our nation's capital in the 60's. Philadelphia,  Newark and Camden (NJ), Brooklyn, Lawrence, Mass race riots and more recently, the Baltimore, MD riots that occurred earlier this year.

    Historically, the riots in CA were weak compared to what happened here on the east coast. 

    Don't get me wrong, they were brutal, but sh!t has been going on over here since our ancestors came here.  

    Ever hear of White Flight?

    And yes, California has done good for the USA, it's just a lot of their male natives weren't born with testes.

    Yep.  If you went by tv and movies every black person is a law abiding super ethical genius, the white man is evil, and females are capable of kicking every man's behind.

    Several years ago it started out as wanting to more accurately reflect society by having a minority sprinkled in here and there.      

    The media has since totally discarded that and now half of people in media are represented by blacks.  I am sick to death of coming across some sports show or NFL pregame consisting of 3 black guys (2 of which are felons) and some jewish guy with a face for radio.

    Speaking to the choir over here!

    Pointless, meandering journalists who like to hear themselves speak

    They are the same pr!cks who "objectively" break down a play but have never played a down of football or played a shift  of hockey for that matter.

    Skip Bayliss and Mike Green come to mind.

    Stephen Smith is another one who likes to hear himself speak.  Mr. self-important. He might have been a basketball player, but he played a sport where it's more likely to get injured by hurting yourself rather than someone else.

    Basketball players are the worst.

    I'm hoping that much like everything else in the media world, that this B.S. cycles out and the bleeding hearts move on to the next topic du jour.

    Remember like 25 years ago when SUV's first hit the mainstream and every other news story was "How your SUV will roll over, blow up and kill your children!! Film at 11:00!!!!!!"

    How about a few years ago when it was all about pitbull attacks. Every other story was "Another vicious pitbull attacks child!!!!" "How to protect yourself against the pitbull menace!!!!" Pitbulls, pitbulls, pitbulls!!!!!

    When's the last time you've even seen a small blurb about either of those topics.....
    The Occupy Movement, the 99%'ers, etc., etc., etc

    My prediction, much like everything else, the extreme liberal left (read:Media) will finally come to their senses, realize that #AllLivesMatter and that this s#!t happens to everyone that runs from the cops, and pick up on the next big thing

    And after Paris, and San Bernardino, I think we may have a front runner. I've noticed more time is being allotted for things like the FBI dredging that lake in San Bernardino, funeral coverage of the people killed by that couple, and a couple of Mosques have been defaced, so, it's only a matter of time. One more Muslim attack on the Western World ought to do it......

    Sensible people who have an original thought is our only hope. 

    There are too many people out there that are easily convinced of what the left-wing media preaches.

    You just want to scream at them and say, "Pick up a book, comprehend and understand both angles to the topic, and derive a thought of your own!  Be original!  Stop regurgitating someone else' opinion simply because you agree with him."  

    I know it's wishful thinking

    One good thing that scares the left to death is that people can vote with their money.

    For example Chick fil a.  The owner spoke out against same sex marriage which incensed and outraged the leftist media.  They attempted to shame and destroy chick fil a but it backfired beautifully.  Loads of people bought chick fil a to show their support.  The leftist media doesn't represent the views of a majority of people in this country, especially the people who are the largest consumers.

    When we are constantly force fed this crap about Bruce Jenner and same sex marriage and black victimization and on and on there isn't much we can do besides avoid media all together.  There is one easy thing we can do though, and that is support or boycott companies with our dollars, and those dollars are what drives the media.

    Chick fil a is the best run busiest fast food restaurant around these days.  Everyone has seen it have a wrap around line at the drive thru while Arby's or McDs next door is dead.  Them standing up for something that goes against the leftist agenda is a big factor for me and a lot of other people when eating out.  The same goes for a company who promotes the leftist bs.  It's hard to boycott all the companies, but when one shows a commercial egregious enough, I stop buying their product never to buy it again.  Maybe eventually economics will sort out this media cancer we have right now.

    A problem with the boycotting though is some times it's hard to know what to boycott

    For example those lovehasnolabels.com commercials.  You have probably seen them, where two people are behind some kind of xray curtain and then come out triumphantly and the douches in the audience smile and clap.  They aren't selling anything, and I have no idea how or why they are getting commercial time.  Why do they lump in a sister loving and accepting her special needs sister, with two females making out or an interracial couple?  It's fu**ing stupid

    I'm not writing this because you're agreeing with me, but its comforting to see that someone has a brain.

    Bill Maher, Whoopi Goldberg, Alec Baldwin and their fans need to be added to the list of self-righteous, elitist Hollywood softies that deserve a nice uppercut from Mike Tyson.  I'm talking about the guys whose doctors were shaking when they performed the circumcision; missing tip of  the penis and accidentally cutting off the family jewels.

    More people who ought to be added to this list:

    -Spoiled, ungrateful teenagers

    -Vegans or vegetarians

    -And most of all, 90% of the heterosexual males who live or come from San Francisco, CA.  

    Let's be real and drill this down, females and any guy male coming from this area have more b@lls than your typical yuppie, left-wing douche who's testicles haven't been dropped yet.  

    These are the same @ssholes who voted for Nancy P and sucker-punch people who can't defend.

    Medias have a history of promoting racism.  During second world war, Germans, Italians and Japaneses were enemies.  Today, Muslims are stereotyped as monsters.

    I cut my cable a long time ago and use radio or streaming but I notice a practice of the Mediaista that I welcomed but they aren't consistent.If a white cop is involved in a shooting and the victim is black the reporter will harp on the point over/over.If there is violence or riots or shootings resulting from this shooting the perps are never cited by race. Also when have you heard reported 'two black males held up a downtown drugstore and fled with cash'.Forget about any case of 'black on white crime' referencing race.
    Don't withold information but the Media doesn't want to be redundunt?

Its how bad trump is so I went to youtube and watched his stumps speech for the past week by trump
    you would swear we are watching to different altered universes.
    What is it about trump that scare these "independent" news coverages.
    I guess its because Les Moonves statement
    "PACS are great for business"
    and THE Donald doesn't have or need one.

    There's more media people in Baltimore today for the 1st of six hung juries or acquittal verdicts in the death of the deceased multiply convicted heroin dealer Freddie Gray. Fortunately, the police department woke up and are prepared this time around instead of being as surprised as Obama when everything goes sideways...
