For a “conservative” message board, I’m surprised at how many are assuming that the news media is giving you the straight story here. Especially when the first red flag that should go up is that the story follows the “cops are evil bullies” line.

Ditto that.

If it's a bad story about someone "we" like, we're all about how biased the LSM are.

If it's about a bad cop, it's Gospel.

I don't get it, either.

I’m not saying that the officer was not guilty of improper procedure and clearly that was a contributing factor with disastrous results.

However, the media is known for trying to elicit a knee-jerk, emotional response by “spinning” stories the way they want them and rarely reporting the entire facts.

As conservatives, we are the ones who usually wind up being on the short end of the stick when it comes to the media’s shuck and jive hustle.

That’s why I’m so surprised that so many on this thread are seeming to take the news media’s story at face value and not reserve judgement.

Have we learned nothing?
