As someone of mixed ethnicity who, if I was there could easily be victimized by a senseless mob to whom I owe nothing and have committed no crime against.. yea I am not happy with how the mainstream media promotes and covers this story, downplaying the victims of the chaos and sympathizing with outpourings of anger even if illegal. To clarify, looters should not be shot, law should prevail, and the policeman involved in the original incident should be investigated.. but the mainstream media is to my mind basically behind the looters, and I know if by chance I or someone like me were to be caught in the crossfire and killed, the mainstream media, posturing as champions of justice, would just implicitly shrug. So yea I can't help but feel disaffected by this coverage, no matter how vile the originating incident.

Oh give it a rest. We saw him kill the man, he can sit a cell and prepare for his trial like any other killer. If you don't like what people int he media say find different commentators or stop listening to pundits altogether.

I am sick to the back teeth of people complaining about 'the mainstream media', when Fox News and Sinclair broadcasting are two of the biggest companies in TV.

The investigation lead to an arrest today. That's how the system works. And it worked in this case.

Where was your rage for Justine Damond? Shot by Officer Mohamed Noor from the passenger seat of his police cruiser, across his partner. Where were the riots?

Also, when people complain about MSM they are including Fox and Sinclair. It's all corrupted and meant to drive a narrative instead of presenting objective views from both sides. It's not up to MSM to tell us how to think about events. Their job is to report the facts. Hardly any of them do anymore, if they ever did.

First time hearing about Justine Damond.. But black officer goes to jail and white family gets 20 MILLION dollars... Maybe it's media bias but in a sick way that seems to underline bias in the system.

It's amazing to me how the system can send 4 cops to take someone into custody immediately over an alleged passing of a fake $20 bill, but when there's video of a homicide taking place despite the pleas of the victim and the intervention of bystanders, and more video shows that the initial report submitted by the cops in question was a lie, everything has to slow right down while we wring our hands over the rights of the cops.

Also, when people complain about MSM they are including Fox and Sinclair.

Please don't insult my intelligence again.
