It would be nice if news anchors delivered the news without editorializing...

I just heard this,"These policemen were viciously attacked while protecting the people..." on the live feed.

I'm wondering if those same anchors delivered the news of Freddie Gray with,"Freddie Gray was viciously attacked, shackled and thrown in the back of a police van without restraints..."

Somehow, I doubt it.

Gee . . . I wonder. The cops there seem like such sweet people when they aren't killing you.

It is horrible what happened. What is more horrible is the editorializing for one...and not the other.

Thank you for getting the point.

And I'm yelling back at the TV, what about the dead man! Where's the outrage, the indignation and concern over Freddie Gray's death?

"It's hard to believe we are seeing this unfold in a major American city." WHY? When you kill and shit on people for years there is a lot of anger out there. When it comes out it is ugly.
