We HAVE to TALK about racism and police brutality

54. I have been watching a great deal of the live streams

I don't know that I have watched regular tv in two months.

Just yesterday, one of the live streamers was in a local ST Louis restaurant and two people were discussing the "asshole" protesters. When they started talking about what happened at the Rams game, the live streamer, who in this case is an activist too, got up and joined the conversation.

The initial participants had stated that the woman who was arrested at the Rams game had hit a fan with a flag, had spit on someone. They got that from the MSM who portrayed the incident in complete fabrication. He explained that the woman didn't hit the guy with her flag. He explained is was her flag that the fan had stolen, she was trying to wrestle it back from him. He explained that the MSM only showed the second picture and not the first where the woman was desperately trying to hold on to the flag as it was ripped from her hands. That the woman that spit, did so on a person that was raging about her being upset. That it was her mother that had just been arrested for trying to get her property back. That the fan was let go without arrest, without charges. That throughout it all, these fans were yelling horrible things at the protesters.

The initial participants had also said that the flag in distress was an insult to Vets returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Most military are very unhappy about the treatment of the people in Ferguson. There is even video of one Vet saying, "I come back from Afghanistan fighting for our rights only to come home to this. My government violating civil Rights of its citizens" There has been much criticism of the police and their weapons. Especially in how the guns are held. They have stated that you never point your weapon unless you intend to use it.

So a great deal of the problem is the press lie. They outright lie.

I have had a conversation with a local reporter there that has done stories on the loudest, most vulgar protesters and their anger. But when pushed and pushed to do a story that shows why the anger, that talks to the cops about the obvious racism and why they continue to do what they do, the answer was, "I believe you are saying we should have balanced reporting. I believe we do that." When I asked for a link, I was given a story about black on black crime.
