You'd think the Brits would bone up on that given they're on CNN late night. Then again they don't seem to know where Missouri is located, mentioning "it's been said that black people are upset with the way police are treating them in that part of the country"

I wonder if CNN London is News Corp affiliated.

on edit:
I should add that the two American journalists for CNN early morning coverage (anyone remember their names) are all over this agitator bullshit, they were agressively repeating the line that all the trouble was being caused by agitators on the protestor side of the line, and even making the distinction between "ordinary citizens" and "angry protestors".

They had no problem with the idea of police wading in and arresting everyone in the crowd for "congregating" who did not have a "reason to be there" i.e. black males, non-media. Just confirming what is going on here.
