he had himself a "people that annoy you" moment that his body was not equipped to handle.
He fought the law and -guess what- the law won.
And the family couldn't care less about the publicity- they see payday coming, and they'll probably get one.
I didn't even need to see the video to know pretty much exactly what happened. The guy had cocaine in his system (the media knew this the entire time, but good luck finding a news article over the last couple months that mentioned it... full disclosure and facts have no bearing on what the media vomits across your TV screen), was a homeless drug addict, was arrested on a warrant and fought with deputies inside the jail. The results are tragic, but that doesn't mean that blame should be put on everyone else other than the deceased, solely for the sake of blaming SOMEONE.
As expected, the media went apeshit (like they always do) and pasted the deceased's photo all over the nightly news and newspapers for the next 1/2 year (and not a photo of the guy in his normal state of being, which was a homeless drunk drug addict, but instead sought out the nicest smiling angelic sympathy photo they could find), referred to him exclusively as a "homeless street preacher" (it sounds sooooo much better than what he really was, doesn't it?), and then gathered up the typical group of ignorant raucous he-who-speaks-loudest-is-always-correct mouth breathers who always come out of the woodwork after a police incident to splatter all over the news talking about how that poor black man was murdered and blah blah blah yakitty yakitty we need a federal civil rights investigation bullshit something needs to be done OH MY GOD JEEBUS SAVE US THE POLICE IS MURDERIN MINORITIES UP IN HERE! Of course, none of these family members were anywhere to be seen when their loved one was out on the streets, homeless, smoking crack, getting arrested, etc. But the second they see dollar signs, oh lordy lord it's on. And lawyers jump all over it because the city will throw money at any-damn-one for any-damn-thing, so getting a settlement is the easiest payday around (aka "The Denver Lotto").
Just because someone stands on the steps in front of the jail and talks extremely loud into a microphone does NOT mean that that person has any idea what the fuck they are talking about... but it DOES make for great media sensationalizing, so you better believe that is what you're gonna see on the news that night. Remember: "If it bleeds, it leads!" The media has not given the slightest shit about actual journalism in decades, as all they really care about is causing controversy and MAKING news. The police have always been the media's perennial pincushion, and the local media in Denver have always been worse than average in that regard. The city of Denver, for their part, has only worsened the problem with their complete refusal to ever stand up for themselves and call out the local tabloids for their blatant bullshit.
This has been the case with all the other brutality cases the media has been monkey humping recently. The news talks up a whole lot of rabble rousing with their reporting, but have you ever noticed how completely devoid of factual substance the news segments are? If the "reporters" actually REPORTED the facts of the incident, there wouldn't be anything to scream and shout about. Instead, they intentionally bury the real story and replace it with sensationalism, because that is what gets the ignorant masses to actually tune-in every night. Can you imagine how utterly boring the news would be if it was just a variety of thoroughly researched and objectively presented daily events?
Hopefully you will never see a news segment on gun violence and hear about how guns are bad and kill people... you would obviously feel compelled to give up all your firearms and renounce your status as an evil gunowner.Cops seem to be thugs up in Denver, I'll avoid it whenever I can. Cops beat a guy up really bad, get fired & then city pays $795,000. These cops killed this guy, should be worth a couple million...the city sucks.
...
more brutality
Denver Ranks first in police excessive force
