(777 posts)this whole affair is nothing but an overblown media circus . Absolutely disgusting ! Why has every trial and incident have to become public entertainment material ? To distract people from the real problems we have .
People being murdered by LEOs isn't a real problem?

(16,172 posts)If it was your son that lay baking in the street 4 hours after he was shot, would that be a real problem?
Or if you were waiting a month for the police to get their stories together before issuing a police report, would that be a real problem?
I'm sorry, but I don't quite see the media circus you are referring to.

There are lots of other things we can worry about at the same time: the environment, workers rights and fair pay, figuring out a good health care system.
I don't think this is for entertainment. It is real. People need to pay attention because if they don't we will head into a police state, and then there are going to be a whole new set of problems.

It's heart breaking that I have to worry about strangers just because of the color of their skin in 2014!!

(12,769 posts)There is no MSM coverage. If it weren't for the live streamers we wouldn't know anything. And they supposedly will be blocking cell phone coverage in the city after the grand jury verdict is released so the only way to get real coverage will be Firechat.
Police corruption and abuse SHOULD concern everyone. I am sorry you don't get it.
