Humanity or Hannity That is the questionOn Russell Brands latest episode of The Trews, he tackles the controversy that has swept the nation in the wake of the police brutality at the McKinney pool party incident last week.
While Brand says many things that the Free Thought Project may disagree with, this rant is spot on and we like to give credit where credit is due.
In this episode, Brand dissects the interview in which Fox News Sean Hannity interviews the young woman attacked by rabid cop Eric Casebolt at the infamous pool party. Luckily, the girls father was there to shut down every asinine statement made by this ignorant and condescending political blowhard.
Brand lambastes Hannity and Fox News for defending the actions of the violent police throughout the video; pointing out immediately that hes not surprised.

(10,495 posts)is up to. How they subtly, and not so subtly, manipulate , twist, and propagandize all of their crap to enrage white people with misinformation and fear.
He is right about the militarization of the police and what it is for. OWS caught the Plutocrats off guard, they were not prepared for the relatively small, but widespread protests. Ferguson showed us how they will respond to protestors from now on. They will have agent provocateurs make otherwise peaceful protestors look bad (not saying that all protestors are peaceful). They incite destruction, some property damage such as leaving an unattended police car where the protestors will hear the DA explain that the Grand Jury refused to indict the murdering officer so they can justify heavy handed tactics. The media only cover the violence to give the impression that all of the protestors are bad.
When things get really bad here, and it is not just poor and minorities of who is being gored, a lot of Fox viewers will be shocked! It won't just be Fox viewers shocked either!
