Media's telling the truth for once. If you ask me it's a rare instance of journalistic integrity. Now how soon before the entire thread gets called racist and the source is derided?
When you start an article out talking about "a thousand blacks", you are obviously pandering to a very specific segment of society with very specific opinions on minorities.
You'll never read an article from the AP start out like that.
Just because you think the word "black" is racist doesnt mean it is.....
Get over it man your Political corectness is out of control.........
The reason some of the media wont use the word "black" is because of PC bullsnip......
We are the only country in the world who puts the word "African" before American do you know that? There are no African Englanders, there are no African Scotts.....theres no such thing as African Irish.....
I actually know a white guy HERE in the US from AFRICA , immigrated, he actually was joking with me in a pub about how technically he could be considered an African-American now because he is actually FROM Africa, we almost got in a fight with two black guys who have never even BEEN to Africa, because he had the nerve to say he was African American......
This crap needs to stop, and people like YOU need to stop perpetuating it

So ......not saying that it was all blacks.....
But what if it was? Is that insensitive or is it just reporting the story?
Why was it every time we hear a story its "white cop, black teen"? Is that appropriate or do you conisder that pandering as well....

My guess is social media. Maybe a flash mob?

I thought the new police state could keep tabs on this sort of thing. Maybe they planted the seed. Who knows. It's hard to get up 900 people without notice. Why wasn't that in the story?

The media sure as hell makes sure to report the race of both people every time it's a white cop shooting a black suspect though...kind of a double standard there don't you think?

The article labeled the disturbers as "Kids". These are young THUGS, plain and simple. Time to move my Mossberg 12 gauge from the gun vault to the back car seat.
