Last night, Shep was trying to ask a police officer questions...the police officer wouldn't answer him...he just kept walking away.....and that's in front of a camera....

Imagine what people are being treated like with no cameras? (Not saying there's any abuse...)

Maybe Shep/Fox figured this is the only way to get help brought down to the people there...the people who are asking for direction/help, water/food....and being, literally, ignored about what to do.

I saw that too, when the police officer wouldn't talk to him. It exasperated Shep( as it should have) and I liked that he was persistent. I thought he did an excellent job reporting from the field. It was the officer who came across as a jerk.

It actually happened earlier in the day, and was replayed later n....but here it is 24 hours later and the question has STILL not been answered.

I would have done exactly what he did had I been in his position.

I don't know if that's the same interview I saw w/Shep & a police officer or not. What I saw was a police officer that had no answers to his questions and work to do - he did tell Shep there wasn't any water to give to people. After that Shep started yelling at him - why not? why not?, why stay for cr*p like that?. Like the police can do anything about that.

Shep likes to stir trouble up and I don't appreciate his anti-administration comments.

I have no problem with the showing of dead bodies...that is news, sad as it is. It's the personal comments that I find to be out of line, and I don't mean personal observations, just the ant-Bush type comments and that we are all going to die stuff.

I believe that, if you looked closely, that 'officer' also had a video camera in his own hand. "Don't bug me shep, just down here videoing some yuks for the next station party..."

Pardon the sarcasm, but my first thought was, "In that situation with lots of folks needing help -- or, even information or directions -- what was that "officer" doing taking pictures instead of trying to help?"
