Nov 2014

Keep the media out? The media was on the ground all over Ferguson. There were constant daily reports from the media about Ferguson. It's obvious why they didn't want non-police air traffic... because it obviously wasn't safe. And the police sure didn't need to be thwarted by news choppers putzing around the skies and getting in the way. That shit is dangerous.

This is stupid. The media was all over Ferguson. Nobody just imagined all those photos and interviews and videos up close and personal. What possible good does it do to try to keep the media out by only resticting the air space but not the media on the ground who not only weren't restricted but some got in the middle of a shooting fight between the police and two scum in a car shooting at an apartment building who the police had to rescue because they were really that fucking stupid. Even after that fiasco media was never restricted other than from the air which is normal procedure whenever police are doing a helicoptor chase or whatever.

Illogical dumbassery yet DU just eats it up.
