Really dont care nomore, reading this stuff its like so what.

Civilians get shot cops get shot,

So what thats life
 
I feel bad for the guy that got killed, but the last thing I want to see is Pat Lynch's face
 
-R.I.P to the cop


-Sadly this is porbably gonna be used to push the "war on cops" nonsense even more


Hmm, some people consider the "war on black people" campaign to be nonsense, just saying. 

Ok, Fair point

But there is no proven war on cops. It is purely a talking point

Where as systemic racism/bias against the black community is real
 
^ Is there really a war on police in the media? Or is it that they're being held accountable by the media for actions that seem questionable? I say the latter, but if you have legit proof of said PR war, please do share.

That's YOUR interpretation. You think those cops are being held accountable because you already hold a bias. This is an issue on both sides of the argument, I'm not even singling out police haters. A lot of these media outlets don't wait for any of the facts to come in before hoping on stories with captivating headlines. Many media sources immediately paint whoever got shot by the police as some sort of choir boy to manipulate the public. They know the public doesn't give a damn about facts.

This is true.It happens with all news stories though. Look at all of the false info that was originally reported on the bomblock boy hoax.I believe that the media has a different agenda. I find it interesting that the stories that make it big are always about a white cop shooting a black man, even though police kill more whites each year than any other race.It polarizes the issue. I believe that this is intentional and deliberate.

There is proof that there is a PR war on the police fueled by media sensationalism. Now the irony of this is, less police are getting killed in the line of duty yet murder rates are increasing across the country especially in the big cities. Call it a coincidence.

-Website showing a pretty steep drop in police killed in the line of duty since 2010. The drop in deaths from gunfire is impressive

I wasn't talking about a PR war.

I was talking about the talking point of the far right that the police are being targeted.

I don't think there is a PR war against the police either. Just that some in media are shedding light on a problem what was always there.

Anyway, apparently we were referring to different things. So lets agree to disagree (I dunno if we even disagree acutally :lol:) because I'm not up to argue semantics

Dog, that's what the media does. They sensationalize. WITH LITERALLY ALMOST EVERYTHING. This isn't anything new, so no, there isn't some newfangled war on the police in the media.
 
War on police.:lol:

The way some of you guys' brains work is fascinating.

Agree to disagree bro. This isn't the thread for this debate.

RIP to the officer who passed.
 
Unfortunate situation, however, when you look at the state of affairs today, all the crooked cops that he didn't snitch on caused his demise.

All of the cops who killed unarmed men and women caused his demise...with help from the media of course
 
This will be covered some, but not as much nationally because the cop was black

Plus this is Spanish Harlem, it's a good chance and looking at that pic it looks like the suspect was latino

It's sad for him and his family
 
I'm not anti or pro anything.
Yall dudes love labels. Sounding like everyone of my ******* when I'm not trying to wife.
I could tell I hurt gamble before. You'll be aight, papi.

This is a big story because it's a big story. There's no sensationalizing here. An officer was killed in a major city where it shut down a major highway for hours.
Should this news be buried?
