The Breakfast Club radio show had people from Alabama calling in giving more details. The racist people went to a local hospital afterward and were upset that there were (to paraphrase) a bunch of black people working in there. They called the police and the police told them they can either get treated or leave, LOL.

There was a time in, before Trump, where these fucks weren't so blatantly open about their bigotry.

This open bigotry is NOT right. And people shouldn't become desensitized to it!

Agreed. This should not become the norm like it has. I remember after Trump got into office, all of the racists started screaming at Hispanics for speaking Spanish in public. The uptick was very noticable

How it was reported in MSM. Actually, Fox News had the most detailed coverage with the longest edited video.

W.T.F.

We are really living in a weird timeline lol. Of course, they only showed the guy getting beat up. CNN waited the latest to release an article with a still image or something like that. NPR somehow made this out to be about Trump (again, wtf)?

Black Twitter had me rolling laughing all day :)

At least they're giving Reggie Gray a chance to surrender himself, if it comes to that. I don't think he's an imminent threat to the community - just a threat to drunken racists on Alabama docks.

NPR mentioned Trump because he spoke just a few hours before in the same city. Where in this paragraph is it "make this about Trump"?

The incident started just hours after former President Donald Trump joined his supporters at an annual Republican Party summer dinner in Montgomery, which is credited as the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement.

Reggie's getting a restraining order keeping him 300 feet away from a chair during any type of dispute. Kind of got carried away that last time...

It cant be that hard to read simple sentences. I swear sometimes people just make up **** to be offended by just to be angry. I AM IN NO WAY DEFENDING ANYONE. The POINT WAS the footage was edited and I detailed the edits of a few outlets as a matter of fact. Thats not even really a point of discussion.

I just thought it was crazy that you almost have to go on alternate media to see the whole thing. You will not see any footage of the young man swimming to save his friend on MSM, for example, and that act of bravery is one of the few positive take always.

So actually, Im pointing out a vast percentage of Americans know of less than 1/8 of what occurred and that should be terrifying irregardless of any commentary.

That's because the only footage comes from people's cell phones who were there and couldn't capture everything. This wasn't some televised event where there was the best angles to show everything. It's just they only have so much footage and only from certain angles. Coordinating everything into one piece of film wouldn't be feasible. That's not worrisome at all.

So in the NPR article I linked earlier was "improperly edited"? You mentioned them "making it about Trump", is that your criticism?

I thought about that at first. I checked for a while before posting. They just *only* showed that portion of the video and cut it off before the guy received meaningful help but they also did not show him trying to reason with the people before getting jumped. So when you look at it, it just looks like random people fighting and not a worker getting beat up for doing his job.

Did they present the video without commentary? I haven't looked at MSM but everywhere else I've seen it directly stated what happened, even if all the different videos weren't shown as there's a lot of them.

Kinda you can only expect so much from Fox News. Remember, they are legally an entertainment company and not a news organization. But they played it about as down the middle as they could get away with. I was shocked tbh.

According to The Root, the swimming guy is a minor (16) so they only released his first name "Aaron". He works on the docks and is a good "colleague" of the security guard who got attacked. AFAIK he's not wanted for anything.
