Waco "thugs" - GMDino - 05-19-2015 http://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2015/05/18/407741060/heres-what-people-are-saying-about-the-waco-shootout-and-race?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20150518 Quote:The biker gang shootout this weekend in Waco, Texas, that left nine people dead, 18 wounded, and as many as 192 facing organized crime charges has sparked a lot of scrutiny over how police and media are treating this incident compared with how they approached the protests in Ferguson, Mo., and Baltimore. RE: Waco "thugs" - michaelsean - 05-19-2015 What are the tweets referring to. Who isn't calling them thugs that should be? Who isn't condemning it? Capital murder charges are going to be filed. Not good enough? RE: Waco "thugs" - michaelsean - 05-19-2015 And to answer another tweet. http://www.fox4news.com/story/29095371/mugshots-released-of-motorcycle-gang-members-arrested-in-waco Comes right up if you use that google thingy.

Let's go riot in the streets boys. RE: Waco "thugs" - Johnny Cupcakes - 05-20-2015 If bikers take to the streets and start looting over this issue, and there isn't a similar police response, I'll probably complain about it. Until then, there isn't really a reason for police to respond in such an extreme way. These are two vastly different issues being played up to be similar to help the media play the race card and divide people even more than they already are.

Which is unfortunate because minorities are still disadvantaged in society. But you're right, a lot of media sources find a way of totally illegitimizing a lot of the points/arguments to be made.

Disadvantaged and taken advantage of, of course, but the wrong issues are played up and it desensitizes the average person to race issues. |
