Is the cop not really black? i thought that when his name was disclosed he was also determined to be a very capable black officer?

But if he is black, they don't report it as such. If he is white, they would most assuredly mention that in every story.

Id like to know why someone who works to become a journalist decides not to report the truth. The motivation to become a journalist is to promote your own importance. This implies, not telling the truth, but selling the idea that you, and all journalists, tell the public everything important. Why would you restrict yourself to the truth in that process? You know that everyone else in your profession will go along, as long as you do not compete on the basis that you are more factually reliable. Do that, and you put a target on your chest.

It looks to me like Eric the Holder plans to pin the cop with civil rights violation.The fix is in.

Tonight ABC and PBS used “teenager” while CBS used “man”. Good for CBS.
To: mandaladon
Cause if they used “boy” their cover would be blown.

Why Does AP Refer to Michael Brown as Teen Despite Style Guide? Even the AP knows that they could not get away with calling him a "child".
