White Plains PD Shoot, Kill Elderly Vet who Accidentally Set off MedicAlert.

[newspeak]

115. has any officers ever faced actual murder charges?

if the average citizen lied and murdered someone, in most cases they'd be arrested. But, it seems that's not the case with the police when they lie and kill. How much faith does one have in those who are supposed to protect and serve the public when some will lie in a heartbeat to protect their arses for doing something so heinous?

I think our media aids whipping the fear and contempt for the "other" people. And, I think they've been doing it for a long time. Back in the eighties, in my psychology class, we watched a film of people in a bus and a white woman's purse is stolen. We were supposed to determine who stole the purse. It was right there on the film who stole the purse, but the majority in the class put down that the black guy did it. Instead it was a white guy who stole it. It's like how african americans were portrayed by the media during katrina. I think some of these networks aid the divide and distrust.
