Is the media trying to get Ferguson police office Darren Wilson lynched?

CNN broadcast a report Friday that showed the house, including the street number, of the Ferguson police officer who police say shot Mike Brown. The officer has been in hiding due to death threats since the shooting last Saturday. His name, Darren Wilson, was just released Friday morning.

Another news outlet apologized for broadcasting video of Wilson’s home while others have virtually drawn a map to Wilson’s house for those bent on vengeance.

Yahoo News named the community Wilson where Wilson resides and published a photograph of the officer.

The UK Daily Mail also named the community, posted photos of the officer and gave a description of the house.

USA Today also named the community and reported a local police presence.

The Washington Post named the street where Wilson lives.

In the video report, CNN reporter Ed Lavandera is seen walking in the street where Wilson lives. The CNN video shows a wide view of Wilson’s house and then pans around the street to show its relative position in the neighborhood. While Lavandera does not name the street, he gives its approximate location.

Every news report says neighbors told them Wilson has not been home for several days.

A version of the video being aired by CNN affiliate Newschannel 13 in Orlando, Florida (and likely other affiliates around the country including the St. Louis market) shows a brief close-up of the house number by the front door such that someone could freeze and enlarge the image to get the address.

The version of the report available online at CNN has that footage edited and replaced with a close-up of a front window of Wilson’s house.

I bet they wouldn’t enjoy it -even though the media isn’t fomenting a mob to lynch the media.

“If anything happens to this officer “

They got away with what they did to Zimmerman, they will
get away with a lot more than this.

In most areas where a person resides in a taxed home it is in the public records as to address and other pertinent data.
As earlier an Freeper stated in Florida and some other states LEOs can request anonymity.
I do not know if a person in the press has that benefit.

Let’s see....Officer Wilson is home on administrative leave.

I guess that would put me on security watch with an AR in my lap.

Media does stuff like this and wonders why they don’t get much benefit of the doubt from cops.
