Corporate Media And Other Race-Baiters Have Incited More Violence Than Trump Ever Did

Not only did journalists kick off the Toledo narrative with the same racist-cop rhetoric, but when officer body camera footage was released, showing what appeared to be the boy holding a firearm right before the officer shot him, CBS News cropped out that part of the video and failed to note that he was armed in its write-up of the incident.

While the ruling class gets whisked away to broadcast from their New York City high rises or to watch and tweet from their secure second homes, outmanned police officers and innocent store owners are forced to defend themselves against agitated Americans whose sole mission becomes to get attention and destroy.

The Department of Justice said "Hands up" was inconsistent with the evidence, with then-Attorney General Eric Holder calling it a "Strong alternative version of events" that "[took] hold so swiftly," and eyewitnesses said Brown charged at the officer, who then shot in self-defense.

Officers had discharged their Tasers twice at Blake without successfully subduing him before Blake reached into the car, where a weapon was recovered on the floorboards and three children were in the backseat - another fact officers knew because their mother allegedly "Kept screaming that." Whatever Works But race baiters don't just manufacture or capitalize on police brutality.

Although the events of that day were awful, the ruling class lied about and amplified them to the point of repeated falsehoods, with The New York Times peddling a false story that rioters bludgeoned a Capitol Police officer to death with a fire extinguisher, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claiming Sen. Ted Cruz tried to have her murdered.

The biggest lie is that the entire United States of America - with its white people, police officers, institutions, and norms - is irredeemably racist and evil to its core.

Just Wednesday night, NBC's "Nightly News" clipped the 911 call that drew officers to Bryant and deceptively edited police bodycam video to mask the knife Bryant was wielding and instead highlight it lying on the ground later.
