My problem with this case is the way the media handled it. I wasn't there, I don't know what happened. All I know is, cops kill White guys now and again, too. And you can't tell me that it would have been met with nearly as much mock outrage from the media if the victim was White.

And I realize that's neither here nor there, as far as Eric Garner goes. But the media is just so culpable in fanning the flames in these cases that it makes me wish that these news anchors here in New York would be put out of their Upper West Side apartments and forced to live in Brownsville for a week or two.

You had to see them by Rockefeller Center earlier (I wasn't there, I'm a little sick anyway, but I was watching on television). They kept going on and on and on about how it wouldn't be surprising if people showed up to protest because tonight was the night they light the tree. They were literally taking it upon themselves to invite a protest down there. Peaceful or not, the media should NOT have any say in where and when people are going to protest. They make me sick to my stomach.
