And yet they want to cry when people start to think they are the enemy of the people.
Selective editing/reporting is the oldest trick in the book and it isn't just 7 that does it. Sometimes agenda, sometimes to get interest on a story.Quote:

They had seconds to fill the gaps, had a noncompliant man with a gun (probably in shock and struggling to deal with what happened himself), and fired.
Situation really sucks.
Only good come out of this is Mr. Black's public service in taking the BG out.
ETA: More good... Public awareness that a naked tweaker-shitstain could break into your house at 1:30AM to murder your children and you might just need a firearm in spite of your politics.
That is a very broad statement, I know because I make broad statements too.Quote:

Im fairly floored about reports that Aurora PD put the bad perp's relatives in the same holding cell as Mr. Black's relatives, and then had to separate them when a fight started breaking out. What on earth were they thinking (or not)? It does seem the responding officers were very uncertain about who was a perp and who was a victim in the aftermath. Handcuffing Mr. Black as he is bleeding out seems pretty extreme, but seems to indicate the cops thought he might be or was a perp.
Oh, yes I can see that too, and in that case the majority of the media IS the enemy of the people.Quote:
