In reply to the discussion: ‘F*ck the Media’: Morgan Freeman Goes Off on Cable News over Baltimore [View all]gordianot
(15,300 posts)20. Remember the old cop shows where they chased the suspect?
They would come to an alley the runner then jumped the barrier and police would follow. That is not going to happen today with a 15 lb bullet proof vest a utility belt that rivals Batman and a high powered radio you may have added 25 lbs. Don't forget the jelly donuts you ate an hour ago. Probably on a sugar high. So what does the Police do they shoot him and do not break a sweat. In the immortal words of POS wannabe George Zimmerman "They always get away". Never mind you really did not commit a crime, run you are dead.
An overweight angry sweating cop on a power trip is one of the deadliest hazards any one can encounter in 21st Century America. Add to that the courts for the most part say that is OK even to wannabe non cop.

I watched CNN for the first time in over a year yesterday, and their Baltimore coverage was superb.

The American CNN does focus on American news. But really, it should--it's broadcasting to USA.
