    people use “journalism” as a catch-all for feature writing and criticism sometimes, lump it in with reported stuff. makes sense for quick reference

    The amount of mental gymnastics people go through to defend officers using excessive force “because someone was breaking the law” is astounding.

    Edit: not talking about the pic they’re taking about above just a general statement

    yeh, agree that it's a real photo. but also agree with your last sentence.
    ...knowing that, i duno why the photographer is most proud of this one. must be a s--- photographer, or is just proud of pulling a fast one on people.

    it's really not. it's actually the opposite of his job. assault results in arrest for obvious reasons. in this case, there was restraint, given the circumstances.

    You guys aren’t looking at the big picture. No one looks at riots independently. Historians reflect on them in context of the movement they were apart of. In 20 years, no one is going to be talking about a playground being on fire. The history is going to talk about the progress & change that came from all of this.

    are business owners protecting their shops/property covered under law? i'm guessing it's essentially the same as if someone were to break into your home and you were to s---t them??

    This is like equating a corporation who dumps hundreds of tons of toxic waste into the environment to someone who throws a gum wrapper on the floor. Like, these two entities are not equal. There are different standards here.
