Please name the specific actions and events you were at and what exactly made them not peaceful. My and many others personal experiences is in direct opposition to your claim, so I assume you must have actual facts to back it up.

I'm pretty sure anybody who attempts to murder three people in a day has some issues that need resolving that have nothing to do with any particular cause.

They were mentioned in your comment but certainly not in the context of being innocent deaths that are equally deserving of mourning and equally as tragic as the deaths of the officers in Brooklyn. Maybe I could make different points if everyone on the other side of the issue had valid points to respond to. Sadly,…

Completely agree. It really frustrates me how the people who are genuinely a part of this movement and who have been taking brave, peaceful action over the past few weeks are now going to be completely drowned out by the actions of a violent madman, and Jezebel has offered absolutely no context or information to…

I'm not complaining about the deaths being covered. It is a horrible, horrible senseless act of violence and it should be mourned. I'm complaining about Jezebel's overall coverage of this movement and the various tragedies and injustices contained within it. The more context we have, the more rationally and…

They have not covered the violence against protesters in New York, Berkeley, or anywhere else. I'm not talking about crowd control, as I said in a different comment. I'm talking about weapons banned from being used in war, senseless beatings, baseless arrests, tear gas, pepper spray, sound cannons...it deserves to be…

What a useless question. If you want a list of those dead because of police brutality, google one.

He didn't say that at all. He said he killed them in anger over Eric Garner and Michael Brown's deaths. What does that have to do with the media? He didn't kill them because of media outrage, he was a mentally ill, serial murderer who turned his anger over a tragedy into senseless violence. To try to extrapolate more…

I hope one day you learn that name calling and emotional aggression will never, ever help you find peace or engage in meaningful discussion with others. Good night.

So we shouldn't get hysterical and make wild accusations and judgments based on emotion and not fact? We can mourn the deaths of these officers as the tragedy that they are and still acknowledge factual reality. I'm not going to respond to this anymore because you're clearly in an emotionally volatile place and I…

Because we should always take the deeply disturbed at their word. I've been on the street for almost every direction action here in New York and I know well the activists leading this movement and the crowds that have marched with us. Not a single person ever articulated or advocated violence towards the NYPD or any…

Yeah, nobody's asking them to cover crowd control. We're asking them to cover unprovoked attacks on peaceful protesters using weapons of war and chemical agents that have been banned in wartime for years. That's not "crowd control". LRAD cannons that can permanently damage hearing isn't "crowd control". A well-trained…

How do we know that though? This man was on a killing spree, we have no evidence to suggest that he wouldn't have killed others under a different guide if this movement didn't exist right now. Isn't blaming the media a similar line of logic to blaming video games and rap music for Columbine? Violent, mentally ill…

Is anyone suggesting police work isn't dangerous? How can you argue it is the most dangerous line of work without facts to back that assertion up? Cops need guns. I never said they don't, nor did I say they don't have an incredibly hard job that, yes, puts them in harm's way. I just don't believe in allowing emotion…

Not sure how one mentally ill person going on a killing spree (he killed at least one other, his girlfriend, who obviously was unconnected to the movement) invalidates the many lives lost because of police brutality and years of racialized violence and oppression against the black community.

One isolated incident doesn't invalidate researched statistics about which jobs incur the most fatalities...

Routine? Have you been out there? There is nothing routine about the police response to these protests in New York, Ferguson, Berkeley, Chicago, and many other cities. The police force is acting like a standing army.

So wait, Jezebel won't cover ANY of the violence against protesters over the past few weeks. Not the sound cannons, the beatings, the batons, the needless arrests, the pepper spray, the tear gas, none of it. But now you're going to cover the killings and expect your coverage to be taken seriously? The mounting…

Yeah, mostly since the script leaked about a year ago and that change had already been made. Though there was a lot in there (like "nice is better than good") that didn't make the final version.
