John Heilemann to Ice Cube: Ferguson, Baltimore Were 'Police Brutality'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/12/2016 6:23:37 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Question to John Heilemann: what's your proof? On his With All Due Respect show this evening, interviewing Ice Cube of NWA, Heilemann flatly stated that the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri and Freddie Gray in Baltimore were instances of "police brutality." In the Brown case, the grand jury, which included three African-Americans, declined to bring an indictment against Darren Wilson, the Ferguson police officer who shot Brown. And President Obama's Justice Department under then AG Eric Holder cleared Wilson of civil rights violations in the shooting.

In Baltimore, the the only result to date has been a mistrial. So what does Heilemann know that the judicial system doesn't about "police brutality" in those cases? Or was this just a case of Heilemann trying to prove to Ice Cube--who by the way displayed more equanimity than Heileman in his comments on this and other issues--that he was down with the struggle?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

I mentioned in the original article that Ice Cube displayed more level-headedness about the issues than Heilemann did.

Ferguson and Baltimore were Soros operations, coordinated through the Obama White House.

Ferguson was police brutality.

The Genius gentle giant brutally attacked an armed citizen who happened to be a police officer.

Einstein woulda got shot even if it hadn't been a cop that got brutalized.

BLM, LBM kaopectate anyone?

Cube is actually a smart guy. He and his group was getting totally hosed by Jerry Heller, and he went solo. One of my favorite rappers who’s arguably the greatest story-teller in the business.
