this might be giving people who don;t deserve it too much benefit of the doubt.... .. but sometimes i think the main stream news media just flat out gets confused by what people like president trump.. and members of law enforcement... say, because they ....(the news media).... just don;t understand the meanings of certain phrases and definitions of certain words......
case and point.... . this morning a cnn news crew in minneapolis was arrested because they appeared to not know the difference between the words talking and walking.....
they were ordered by an group of armored and battle ready police, who were advancing through an intersection, to move away and clear the area.... ...the cnn reporters, with the cameras still running, could be heard clearly telling the officers they were complying and moving away.... but while their mouths were moving to say all that their feet remained where they were..... right in the middle of the street..... and while they stood there with cameras rolling and jaws flapping... the police walked up to them and promptly arrested them.... ..the cnn reporter apparently being unaware that acknowledging what you have been told is not the same thing as doing what you have been told.... ...
i;m not a reporter and i have never been in the middle of a riot.... and i;m certainly no genius either.. .....but i do know, that,.. no matter who you are,... when the troops move forward the wise move back.... quickly.. .. unless.. of course... you are bent on confrontation.... ......and if that;s not the case, then in the face of armored riot police on the move, you shouldn;t have to be told anything at all... ... moving away should be an instinctive act of self preservation.. ... . ....so all i can gather from what i saw is that either this particular cnn crew was just too stupid to realize that... ...had no sense of self preservation..... or else they wanted to be arrested... ......when i hear some of the statements, assumptions, and accusations against police that it was racism.... being thrown out by the anchors in the cnn studios...., i am beginning to believe the latter is what happened.. ... the whole thing was done to grandstand and make a political statement.... as in....once again cnn makes themselves the story in the news...
......but at the moment i;m still leaning... slightly.... toward giving them the benefit of a doubt, and assuming myself that they really were just that stupid..... .. ....afterall.... .it wouldn;t be the first time.....
