Best comment I’ve read all week. You fucking nailed it, sir.

In most instances I’d agree, and to some extent I do, but in this instance I think his point stands. His beef is with this holier-than-thou attitude from those within the media media, where one video of a reporter being treated inappropriately led to an inodrinate amount of pieces from Fox News to the Washington Post…

Excuse for using your joke as a jumping point, but it’s no coincidence that two of the more thoughtful, provocative voices on police violence are Greg and Bomani, two journalists who are nominally in sports, for the same reason it took a threatened boycott by a football team to make Mizzou a national story.

However, cops (and, really, the entire criminal justice system) very obviously considers a black/brown person’s life to have less value than that of the racial majority.

It’s not silly. His point isn’t about comparing the situations, it’s about the mindset of the media. In Missouri journalists were angry about being denied access because they wanted to report on it. But if you’re gonna complain about that under the guise of, as a journalist it’s my responsibility to cover these…

Someone somewhere else on Gawker pointed out that you can test positive for PCP but not actually take PCP. There are other drugs - including cough syrup - that can result in you testing positive for PCP. Not saying this kid didn’t actually take PCP, but given how they’ve handled everything else with this case, I think…

So what is your reason for acting like an idiot?

I think you missed a ‘k’.

Because the police erased security camera footage of the execution from a nearby Burger King, and lied about nearly every aspect of the encounter?

Because it took them 13 months to even bring charges, largely because the department was trying to bury the case, including trying to get this video sealed away from public view.
