Sorry, media: Black Charlotte chief says suspect had a gun, which is why black officer shot him
CANAda Free Press ^ | 09/21/16 | Dan Calabrese

Witnesses corroborate, and no book was found anywhere -- Police Chief: Officers Warned Scott to Drop Gun

Not that there is ever a good reason to have a riot, but the Charlotte rioters might be interested to know they bought a line of crap from the media, which just sent 23 people to the hospital and unleashed hours of chaos in the streets for no reason whatsoever. White-cops-shoot-unarmed-black-man? Don’t think so.

As the video below demonstrates, the media caused all this. More than 1,000 people heard on the news that a guy holding a book was shot by police, and even though these people didn’t know the guy who was shot, they came out anyway and rioted.

And yet none of what they heard was true. A man with a gun was told by police to drop his gun, and he did not comply with that request. I hate to tell you this, but that is going to get you shot every time. Not only that, but in this case - contrary to the media’s racist-white-cops narrative, it was a black cop who felt threatened and fired his weapon, and a black police chief who backed up what his officers had to do.

We don’t need no stinkin’ facts: just whatever provides an excuse to raise hell, destroy property, and loot. This all redounds to the benefit of Donald Trump.

The individuals at the head of these liberal 'news' organizations need to be identified, mapped, and held personally accountable for the loss of property and life that they instigated.

It is a common understanding that the First Amendment does not grant the freedom to yell 'fire' in a darkened theater when there is no fire--and that's exactly what these professional liars are doing.

Same thing in Milwaukee, when they burned down Sherman Park last month.

Black police chief says black police officer shoots armed black crook. Which makes America racist HOW, exactly?

Their answer; "It don't matter. He were blue."

Way past time to revoke broadcast licenses and lock-up “reporters.”

Liberals have been trying to do that for years...except only to conservative media outlets...

How about we just stop watching them on TV and let the market forces drive them out of business..

........there are, by my count, 69 different licenses required of individuals in Texas. Everything from cutting someone’s hair to selling real estate, insurance and on and on.

I think it is time to “license” journalists. And, every 2 years they have to re-certify like a guy that sells houses!

The test for this license should start out tough and get tougher, just like the Real Estate license does.

To start, they should have to know the Constitution inside and out. 2nd, they should have to be in a reserve component of the military if they want to report on the military. They should have to pass a 200 question history exam as part II of their test. I could go on and on with some “regulations” for these bastards.

The number of times that a shooting turns out to be an egregious violation by the police, in my opinion, is quite low.

That is true for many kinds of events, including most crimes, terrorist attacks, etc. But as humans we tend to be concerned with injustice and suffering even if the probability of the event occurring is very low. And we tend to prepare for situations that are in actuality quite rare.

Well, now that the truth has come out, I am sure the thousands of Little Trayvons that looted, stole, robbed, burned, and vandalized will make amends.

Uh, oh, Hillary. They got out ahead of the news and ran with a story before the facts were in. That's what you mistakenly ripped Trump for. Don't you think you should go after the news people who ran this story since they helped cause the rioting and looting?

Oh, she's sleeping? Well, will she be up before Saturday?

Perhaps when Trump loads up the Supreme Court with conservatives, we can get the NY Times v Sullivan case overthrown, and begin tossing these lying “journalists”.

If the media keeps this up we will re-live the 1968 riots, which damn near resulted in a race war.””

And if this war comes, let the old media liars be the first to go down. Put a bullseye on all these instigators and get em in the ground.
