I don't approve of any editing like that. But one bad turn never did justify another. And FOX makes a habit of it. Remember when they intentionally edited footage of the DC tea party rally to include crowd shots from the Million Man March, to make it look like there was massive attendance?

Iv also remember the less shout racial slurs used at Tea Party rallies that never happened. Did this outrage you as well.
Now to be clear I am all for calling these people out for this if it happened. It appears it did. All I am asking for us equal outrage.

I'm always outraged, Danny! And when we meet up we can be equally outraged while consuming massive amounts of alcohol!
But for the next few days, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone. |

"Reuters interviewed 25 African American male officers on the NYPD, 15 of whom are retired and 10 of whom are still serving. All but one said that, when off duty and out of uniform, they had been victims of racial profiling, which refers to using race or ethnicity as grounds for suspecting someone of having committed a crime.
"The officers said this included being pulled over for no reason, having their heads slammed against their cars, getting guns brandished in their faces, being thrown into prison vans and experiencing stop and frisks while shopping. The majority of the officers said they had been pulled over multiple times while driving. Five had had guns pulled on them." http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/12/2......20141223 |

New York City is very much on edge right now. The mayor, the police unions, the protesters, the newspapers, are all on a high alert status. I don't think I've ever felt the tension in the air here any greater.
Here's part of what's happening: http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/12/24/rot-in-the-big-apple/

I love New York City. I hate it when I hear this crap. High Alert Status. What a concept! During the holidays! My gosh...(wiping tears) New York City could be a shining beacon, a most desirable city to visit. It's cut violent crime by HOW much? Now this? WTF??

Another shooting and this kid is dead. He pulled out a 9mm and aimed it at the cop.

The other side of it of course is that the protestors with nothing in their hands would prefer not to be part of that test.
Looks at first glance the the shooting was justified, but there are some interesting questions: http://www.commondreams.org/news/2014/12......-killing I'd like to know more. Surveillance videos seem pretty sketchy. The police officer's body camera was "inoperative" at the time. . .

Bottom line: The thug pointed a loaded GUN at a POLICE OFFICER! What is there to protest? I'd have blown his EFFING HEAD OFF, myself! Color, again, is irrelevant!
Martin's mother, Toni Martin-Green, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "This doesn't make any sense for them to kill my son like this." What doesn't make SENSE is why this 18 year old had a GUN! Why was he OUT, thuggin'? Coulda been HOME! And NOT thuggin'! Where is his FATHER? Right. No sympathy from ME! One less THUG to worry about! Doug |

Not clear he had a gun. Take a look at the article above. "Surveillance footage released of the incident has drawn much scrutiny. However, both a body camera and police car dashboard camera were reportedly not on to capture the exchange." Because...?

Oh, I don't doubt he had a gun. And, I feel if Mr. Martin had not been BLACK, we wouldn't even be talking about this. That saddens me...
