One officer told Dillon Taylor to get on the ground, while another told him to put his hands on his head.

Lose, lose situation.

RE: retaliation?

Actually, this incident took place approximately a day after Michael Brown was shot.

I don’t think there is any relation between the two incidents.

“Honest journalism is dead.”

Honest journalism was never alive to begin with... an oxymoron if ever there was one.
