Oh for God’s sake. WE DON’T NEED HIS SIDE OF THE STORY. There’s a motherfucking recorded video we can all see with our own damn eyes.

Common tactic used to try people in the court of public opinion, thereby swaying favor and diminishing the impact of any negative effects or fallout from questionable actions. Because the average American is an under-educated, short-sighted halfwit. Bought and paid for. Distract them with shinies, and they’ll lap up…

The media jumped on the reporting about Dao because the info is available and they need to keep a steady stream of related articles out there to get the clicks. They’d have to do actual legwork and put in some time to track down the officers who dragged the guy off the plane.

It was obviously his fault for not being the perfect victim with a spotless past, like all Internet commenters.
