Gee, they neglected to include pictures of the peacefull march and protest...pictures before the police attacked...hmmm...maybe if the public saw who the police shot upon there would be more of an outrage. The next day I visited various sites of newspapers and if there were any pictures they only showed ones like these.........The public didn't see pictures of average Americans protesting...no pictures of moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas. People who look like your high school teacher, or someone from your church.
.....even when american citizens are attacked by police and there is tons of video to prove it is unprovoked we only see BULLSHIT..in the paper...excuse me, I mean propaganda. I do wish to say thank you to those who marched and a very heartfelt thanks to those hit by the police for marching for my democracy and my freedom.....my sign has a picture of the girl with the words...marching for your democracy and attacked by Oakland PD
Which sounds more powerful? { #1. or #2. } ?


#1. "stung by a wooden pellet”

OR

#2. “Shot multiple times by huge solid wood bullet munitions”


A different spin, can and does make a big difference to the TV audience that is watching and listening at home to what the nationalistic, see no evil, hear no evil, for the entrenched, we can do no wrong government go along to get along, minions, who try to minimize, trivialize or marginalize the horrendous and unconscionable actions of the thugs, the cops and the so called, higher-ups, who caused this to happen.

How far up the power pyramid scheme does this go? Does this go up to the police Chief, the Mayor, the Governor, and the President?

And who will be complicit in this blatant law breaking, the Media, TV channel 7, 3, or some other channel, or newspaper? We hope not.

So lets hear some, truly, “FAIR and BALANCED”, reporting, like example number, #2. above, not number #1..

You can bomb the World to pieces, but you can’t bomb it into peace.
