They’re trying to combine several issues into one meaning that none of them will be dealt with.
I'm not trying to diminish the significance of the ghetto riots and the events that led up to that.
But the minor thing that caught my attention was the detention of the Huff Post reporter.
The reporter videotaped the LEO and LEOs don't liked to be videotape or photographed. The reporter refused to give the LEO his ID, and LEOs don't like to have their authority challenged.
So the LEO processed the reporter and as it always is, the processing becomes the punishment, in this case the punishment for videotaping and refusing to ID.
Did you actually read the article?
Our police are becoming more like the military and vice-versa.
Interesting.
