The story-line is 2 idiots accidentally kill a kid pursuing someone they probably shouldn't.

Why didn't you just link to the "liberal media" story that blog post is based on, versus this downtrend site, which sure doesn't seem to love black folks too much obviously has a particular bias.

The Michael Brown "hoopla" started from the unrest of people in Ferguson at that case in their community, and then broke national. Think what you will of Brown, the protestors, or the media hoopla. But are people protesting in Marsville LA about this?

I'll have you know that personally as a filthy N-word liberal, I took a wait-and-see approach to the Ferguson case. However when the Eric Garner case happened here in my home city, that is the case I personally felt a connection with, and I joined a protest or two because of that particular case.

Maybe the difference is that this Louisiana case has these two cops arrested for murder and attempted murder with no bail because of evidence from a body camera worn by a third cop. Would that cop have had a body camera on if the Ferguson hoopla hadn't happened? Is there no protest or hoopla because the justice system seems to be on top of this?

Im down on police in general. The incident in Ferguson to me if it was reported accurately is one of I have mixed emotions about. M Brown was NOT a good guy. He just roughed up a convenience store owner just minutes prior to this incident--and in fairness I cant say what I would do if someone was trying to get my gun I guess with the intentions to try and kill me. We dont know what psychological process might take over there but I felt the whole incident was provoked by Brown and if Brown had not done the things he did--he would be alive. Some other incidences--namely the one where the officer got behind the fella and choked him down--that was insane. I felt horrible for that man and it just showed the unbelievable leeway cops feel they have when interacted with society. Ive posted before on this issue and the subject of the post really is African Americans are NOT alone when talking about abuses by police. I do NOT think police randomly discriminate as much as its portrayed but rather they are equal opportunity abusers. You should here hoopla in this case--because that kids life MATTERED but we wont here much about it ever again. Im starting to feel that ALL police need to wear bodycams at all times and they should be held accountable immediately if the camera is disengaged/distorted etc.. Im sick of hearing only a few bad apples because I dont think that is the case.

On one hand, I think we haven't seen more hoopla over this because of the fact that the cops were indeed arrested, and as far as I know it didn't take very long for that to happen. There's also the fact that 'the media' is a tool, not a service. As someone who has studied how media works, I can tell you there is no doubt that there is no such thing as 'Liberal biased media'. It's a myth, like the unicorn. You can put a horn on the head of a pony, but it does not make it a unicorn. The main purpose behind 'mainstream media' in this country, and probably most if not all of other industrialized countries, is to confuse the hell out of people, further dumb down people who may not have gotten the best education, scare the hell out of people, further divide people and make divisions where there may not have been divisions before. You know what to expect from networks like Fox News, because they're very open about it. The dangerous networks are the ones who pretend to be something they not-so-clearly are not, like MSNBC. To put it simply, they don't ever want to really make things better. They usually want to make matters worse, or at the very least more complicated by confusing you or over-simplifying the situation. There's a reason why they're mainstream.

So, circling back to the non-hoopla of this particular story: They want to feed the paranoia that 'brown people are taking over this country'. Plain and simple. HOW they're doing it is not so simple.
