Or maybe they don't care? Hi JP. They don't care. Hey Ragin. I guess they don't. Enough time has elapsed that they would have shifted gears by now. Not only does the situation on the ground seems surreal but frankly, some of the media analysis and postulations sound just plain crazy from the outside. All this bum rushing talk, the third party account, I mean no one in their right mind buys this. What you are witnessing is the art of war. Robbery vs shoplifting. Walk here, don't walk here. Go home now, stay as long as you like. Move faster, you're rushing at me. From the curfew to telling people that they cannot protest in place, the entire thing is meant to constrict, confine, confuse then arrest. Yes, I understand this. It's just that there are some theories and interpretations that come out from American media that I really don't think would fly here in our news. Some of the stuff that even pundits are saying sound just plain stupid. I'm not sure if it attests to just how deep white American biases run or if the American public is just simply that gullible and easily swayed. I'm trying to be as objective as possible here but the police version makes absolutely NO sense whatsoever. most of our ppl know whats really good here JP. Its the yts (and respective cooning blacks) that live in the fog of their own privileged funk who just cant seem to connect the two dots that clearly show that the cop shot an unarmed man and therefore is a murderer. They arent the brightest crayons you know

Yes, I was thinking of the white reporters and the white public when I said this. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of racism here but I don't even think the white reporters would look straight into the camera and dare talk about some bullsheit bum rush theory when they guy already has 5 bullets in him. No one would buy that, black, white, brown or yellow. It's just too damn outlandish. Only in America.

Is it weird that I feel like I'm watching the Hunger Games? I want to fly in some gas masks to the protestors...

Don Lemon putting on a bulletproof vest saying CNN management told him if sh*t goes down, they better protect themselves (lol they aint tryna have no lawsuits)

@texas, you'd think them crackas would be like mofo it's time to give it up. i could be home with my wife and kids watching football or whatever sport is in season right now. but nah, they in it for the long haul. this is why i will NEVER even give even the SLIGHTEST impression that i side with them or blame my people for their shortcortcomming when its either or.

LOL, maybe Don Lemon is not the right person to follow this. Dude is in over his head. They should have sent in Christiane Amanpour. She's used to covering war torn places
