“Man shot by police in Ferguson was friend of Michael Brown”-USA TODAY “State of emergency declared in Ferguson after police shoot and critically injure man during protests”-WASHINGTON POST“Police shooting, protests put Ferguson back on edge”-US NEWS“Police Shoot Man in Ferguson Following One-Year Anniversary of Michael Brown’s Death“-ABC NEWS I am sick and tired of main stream media headlines. I am fully heatedly behind people when they complain that terms are being reserved for use to certain races but the same goes for bashing police in a negative light if it means that the media can stir the social issues pot a little more. The first amendment is an amazing thing but the tabloid nature of media needs to stop. The man was not gunned down while protesting, he was not even qualified to be a protestor. He was sent to the hospital with bullets in his chest for being the violence at a peaceful march as he fired upon a crowd aiming for police who then returned fire. Don’t associate criminals with people that want to spark change, and if you feel you want to condone criminal behavior and call them martyrs, remember that you devalue everything the peaceful protestors fight for. People need to stop hurting and blaming their neighbors.Sensationalized media needs to start having creditability.The United States needs to get its shit together and stop finding it fashionable to vilify your local police, loudly and often, regardless of the facts. It is one thing to fight cases of police brutality and injustice courts, its another to say every person in blue is your enemy. -- source link
