This part of the report I find most sickening.....
Otavio Silva, the husband of Kansas City Star reporter Jill Silva, said he received a face full of pepper spray while he and his dinner party were walking behind a large group of young people.
Silva said the youths were walking down the sidewalk and he hadn’t witnessed them misbehaving when a police car pulled up and officers told them to “move on” before unleashing a blast of the chemical spray.
No I'm sure he didn't witness them misbehaving.....but from a police perspective all you need to see is another group with "attitude" heading into the mele instead of away from it.
And by including this short paragraph the media has now injected "racism" into the police action and inflamed the situation.....and they know it!
Lately I have been clicking through to more and more articles so that I can read the comments and find out what really happened. Now I notice that some papers are disabling the comments whenever there is a rakefight so that local commenters can't inform the reader as to whether it's the Amish or the Mennonites causing the dustup.
May have had something to do with the police car which was tailing the group.
The Silva's didn't mention the 'reason' they were following this 'group' of innocent angels. I'm sure it had nothing to do with being an investigative reporter concerned about the unfair treatment of 'minority yutes' out on an innocent evening stroll. Absolutely nothing. It was just a coincidence that the Silva's ran into and followed this 'group'.
“Otavio Silva, the husband of Kansas City Star reporter Jill Silva, said he received a face full of pepper spray while he and his dinner party were walking behind a large group of young people.”
Maybe that will teach Otavio to leave those helpless, innocent yutes alone and quit following them all over the Plaza.
