If the media is going to clothe itself in the language of the First Amendment, that sets the bar very high.

I doubt few of the blacks who were rioting and burning in Ferguson care that Officer Wilson was innocent. They still believe evil whitey has it in for them. Why else would they be getting so much more traffic tickets per capita than other groups?

As the latest shooting of a black thug in Madison, Wi. by a white cop shows, the same crowd is just itching for a reason to riot and burn some more.
