Didn't officials know that "thug" and "criminals" would blow up the problem?? [View all]

I noticed yesterday that those who spoke on behalf of authority had been trained in framing the episode. They continually deflected any mention of Freddie Grey and instead reverted the conversation to the "criminals".

This is a propaganda war too, and Lakoff influence was surely heard.

But didn't they KNOW that calling them "thugs" would set things off?

If they are inciting violence with words, perhaps some are also shooting black men just to start the race war that would profit the Law Enforcement community and its investors.
