Ever since Obama weighed in, I think the media has pushed further and further to the position that "the white guy screwed up". There seems to be a lot of talk about police training, and sensitivity classes, and procedural changes. There is the sense that "maybe the cop could have done something differently so that this didn't get out of hand".

I really don't see anyone in the media speculating that maybe having a citizen acting disorderly and yelling at the cop, and saying "your mama" to the cop, and being uncooperative with the cop -- maybe that Harvard professor could have done something differently so that this didn't get out of hand.

But as the days go by, I see fewer and fewer people entertaining the notion that the black guy made a mistake, or even that it's a two-way street and that perhaps both parties might have been wrong. Nope. It's now frozen by the media: the white guy screwed up.

Gag me.

NBC Nightly quoted a Cambridge city official saying punitive action against the cop “had not be ruled out.”
