Somebody needs to tell the yutzes at AP that "disrespect" is a noun, not a verb. I dare you to walk down into compton and tell them that "to diss" is not a proper verb, but is rather a noun.

The difference between Compton and AP is that the Associated Press is a large, significant, and formerly well-respected publishing house, and Compton is the native territory for speakers of Ebonics.
Both have standards, but they should differ.

True, to do that would cause an uproar like a troop of chimps throwing branches and making all mannar of chimplike noises.. I can hear it now.... Pretty funny really.. Would be the same thing in Chicago, Detroit, Harlem.. or most any JAIL.. or prison..
