Yes it does.
When they start censoring what people can see, stopping news coverage of it, by force even, should be enough to make all Americans recoil...
That’s an extremely slippery road...
Am going to agree again ... but then comes a what if ... What if someone was able to utilize a weapon or several weapons and then placed the media into the line of fire. The gas canister or canisters might have been a subtle reminder from the police that the media could be in danger?? Doubt any of the media, in Ferguson, was or has been truly dressed for the occasion if violence should place them in the middle or heaven forbid they (the media) should be harmed by the mob.
