This is one of those stories that will really polarize people I think. Of course Brown had just robbed a store and maybe the cop felt scared and threatened. But if you're the family, it's just got to be excruciating. Imagine how they feel. Their sun was shot multiple times, then left in the street for 4 hours, then hauled away in the back of an SUV (no ambulance), then the cop gets off... all this in a town with an all-white police department....

I don't know if he's right or wrong... I was just noticing the amount of "hate" he seems to have. The video I posted is just one example - he seemed to be someone who was trying to defend himself by jabbing and prodding anyone who didn't agree with him. His face seemed more annoyed than I've seen in the past.. It was the first time I had watched his show in a while and I found how he was acting to be really interesting.

How could anyone, except you of course, expect to form an opinion from multiple sides without at least sampling those multiple sides?

Because unlike you, I happen to care. I care about people, animals, and the environment. You care about yourself, yourself and yourself, and how good you make yourself feel by trashing others in a public forum from the confines of your moms basement. Good for you big fella... maybe try contributing to a thread instead of drive-by trolling it. Think you can do that big man?

Or maybe thats not how the story breaks down, but instead its how the news presents the story? MSNBC's Maddow and Hayes present it as a person / personal / family issue, while Sharpton presents it is more of a black injustice issue. Fox's Hannity and another person who's name I forget seem to present it as "There' goes another black person bitching and moaning".

No. I was saying that on the Shep Smith show on Fox, the coverage was impressive. They had multiple cameras in multiple cities and Shep was running around from one giant video wall to the next showing what was going on. He did it all without personal commentary or opinion too. I hate Fox News but Shep's reporting of it seemed interesting.
It was Sean Hannity, who has always been an asshat, reporting I was commenting on.

Agreed.
