   Carlson's hysterics make about as much sense as some man in the 1920s arguing that the bagel is the downfall of American civilization....

Hahaha!   

Thanks for the link.  I always enjoy Marcotte's puncturings of bloated ideology.   And pass me a bagel.

So I missed it -

did Lester Holt apologize last night?



Has the NY Times apologized for their deception re:  their Ohio shooting story?


Get better, press.

[barton]

Deception or error?   I haven't seen their reportage on the Columbus shooting,  so don't know what they said or what retractions if any were made.   Any documentation of "deception" mich appreciated.

[Oi!]

I cannot find anything except a brief tweet from the NYT  which didn't include details on the girl having a knife.   Twitter is not the paper's main report,  which is an article in the paper,  and did include those details.   So actually reading the NYT would not result in being deceived, and the tweet was simply to say that someone was killed by a police officer.  Pretty thin sauce,  Kid.

Here's a new case that poses real questions about using lethal force on someone when they attempt to leave and are not armed.  And has also raised the usual questions about transparency.

The Pasquotank County Sheriff’s Office is being pressed to release the body-cam footage of the police encounter that killed Andrew Brown Jr., 42, after declining to share much information about the events that resulted in the shooting. Harry Daniels, an attorney for the victim’s family, said Brown — whose death triggered peaceful demonstrations of hundreds over two nights — was unarmed at the time of shooting.

Pasquotank County Sheriff Tommy Wooten said in a video statement that the deputy fired at Brown when he started to drive away in a car as authorities tried to serve him a warrant on felony drug charges. All of the deputies at the scene, who have yet to be named, have been placed on administrative leave “until we know all the facts,” Wooten said...

If you think you’re sick of it LeBron James imagine what it must feel like for the human being behind the trigger forced to respond with deadly force.

Imagine what that sinking feeling in the stomach feels like in that split second you realize you’ve run out of options.

Imagine the moments after when you immediately start your path to PTSD, which begins with the second guessing of your own actions; because you know that the actions you just took will be second guessed by everyone – from your department admin, to your state attorney, to the FBI, and whatever entitled millionaire feels like tweeting about it; and despite knowing you did what was just, you had better have been better than perfect.

Can you even begin to imagine how tired you might feel then?”

Imagine they should have chosen a different line of work or at least cribbed from a better 70s police procedural script.

Fuck outta here with that bullshit.
