Also it's a literal fucking child, fuck the pigs.
The word "accused" seems a little redundant when they post photos showing that exact thing along with their headline.
We'll never know. The officer's bodycam malfunctioned just before the incident began.
I think they're not doing enough to emphasize the 13yo's role in this event. Something like "Alleged maybe accusations of teenager having neck wrapped around alleged officers alleged hands".
New york post hire me.
Allegedly accused of, in spite of video evidence. Let's be fair and balanced here.
It's the new trend in journalism where you never try to determine facts, you just repeat what others say.
The boy, his family, his lawyer may all say he was choked by the cops, and the video may indicate that, but it's not the author's place to make that call. They'll just wait for the judge to rule that strangling little boys is actually perfectly fine.
If you don't think that's fucked up, you are wrong. Also, this only seems to crop up with cops, to the point where it's a meme.
No, it's not just with cops. This is a trend with all reporting. Political coverage often decends to "People on Twitter are saying this is bad." Anything that happens outside the US is covered as a statement from a government official or think tank.
Journalists have no confidence anymore. Every statement, fact, analysis, opinion, and conclusion has to be outsourced. You cover what people said rather than what happened. This is why every news article takes the same stance as the State Department and CIA. They're not investagating or gathering information themselves. They're having the government do it for them.
Not even a year since Floyd and I’ve heard at least 2 other similar stories this week. Depressing as fuck how nothing has changed.
I'm sure the abuse and murders will stop if we start putting woke leftists in charge of the police department. Surely we couldn't get rid of the police department, that would cause chaos. Who else will arrest drug users and stalk sex workers in our post-capitalist, post-racial utopia?
A child's neck was in an officer's-arm-involved incident. Anyway, here's a picture of a cute German shepherd.
