At what
point in time did our press and our media file objectivity and fact in the
trash can?
The AP, Yahoo, CBS have all
presented the header above in one form or another. For those skimming the media, as a source of
their information, this is just another case of law enforcement run amok. This use of miss-informational highlighting
to grab attention is a disservice of the highest magnitude.
It serves our nation and our society nothing
less than one individual person serving arsenic to a school full of children. This practice of using the nomenclature of
news reporting as a hidden editorial commentary is reprehensible. Unless you take the time to read below the
header, and you are already inclined to distrust the police, then that headline
only serves to increase your resentment, frustration and anger.
The police
in this case were justified. Rather than promoting a false narrative why not
encourage a discussion of why a 13 year boy would be involved in the
situation. Why not encourage a
discussion as to why he would think pulling a weapon in that situation would be
a safe thing to do. Once again we are
able to witness the effects of the law of cause
and effect.
In the last couple of years, starting with the Trayvon Martin
tragedy, the media has made an effort to portray the victims of police
shootings as innocent victims. They take
pains to show pictures of the victims that are misleading in order to gain
sympathy on one hand and the probable injustice on the other. I have to search hard to find any pictures in
the news of the 17 year old 5 ft. 11 in. 158 lb. pot smoking, man most often
shown as a quiet demure 13 year old boy, real Trayvon Martin at the time of the
incident. It is time we demand truth in
reporting because we cannot form our society based on deception.
Our society
has gained, from this disservice, a movement full of dissent, anger, revolt and
anarchy. The BLM originated as a result
of the misrepresentation of facts. This
misrepresentation has cost the public thousands of dollars resulting from
riots, and more importantly, the lives of many in the law enforcement
community.
The blood of our fallen
police rests firmly on the heads of those who spread false narrative using the
megaphone of news reporting media.
Pray for our
Country. Love your neighbor. Spread hope not dissention.
God Bless
the USA
