However, yellow journalism has been and always will be the most popular method to convey news and control the medias perception on any news event.
The image shown View post on imgur.com depicts what the media does not care about nor does it want to focus on. Because in the midst of all the negativity going on, two of the largest black gang members have come together for a greater cause than their own mission. They are standing together to stop the rioting and looting of their own people. There are plenty more images of this floating around, but that does not get ratings up, that's not confrontational, that won't cause a thread to be made on e90post, nobody really cares about the good being done in the midst of a storm.
I will reserve my comments in regards to the case because that is pointless here.
It's a very important image, but I doubt any of you have seen it and if you did wouldn't care to share it. |
That is a good story. Whatever you might think about gang members, clearly in this situation, they are demonstrating some smarts. They realize what is in their best interest, and the best interest of their community. There is some long-term, big picture thinking happening here. They probably engage in more risky/dangerous activities on a regular basis than Michael Brown did, but they still have a pulse today, and he does not, because they were willing to use the muscle between their ears.
Michael Brown elected to not use his, and that's not the officer's fault.
