The ‘actor’? Unless it’s a SAG member who didn’t get a part, the actors of America would probably prefer they go back to the term ‘gunman’.
Smoke from the structure? And then tear-gas authorized with an innocent supposedly in the basement of the structure? Doesn’t sound like a good combo there...
No-one flame me on this, please... I fully admit I have no experience or training in these types of situations, so I’m not attacking the officers here at all... I don’t hate all police officers or anything like that, and I am saying prayers for all the officers and their family members, as well as everyone else effected by this...
I just hate remembering what happened with all the women and children at Waco being burned... Hearing the smoke/gas authorization immediately brought that to mind.
I also am keeping in the back of my mind at this point that if things keep moving the way they have in just the last 24-72 hours we can expect these things to happen more regularly. Whether it’s cases of terrorist actions (which we’ve already seen covered up by the media — like OKC), or true nutcases, or disgruntled patriots acting out of self-defense, it will most likely all be treated the same... It’s a good idea to remember that the media is at times totally complicit with political agendas (like gun control).
