No to any legislation.

Anyone can protest, just don’t bullshit saying one cause is ok and the other isn’t. Feeding kids, paying rent, is important to a lot of folks....just as the police brutality. It’s dishonest how the media picks and chooses who to criticize...don’t feed me bullshit that this is a terrible disease two weeks ago but it’s not now. That’s bullshit and dishonest. There aren’t Rona exceptions

I said "Force the news outlets"

That includes all outlets that present themselves as news.

Embarrassing, even for you Chico.

All of a sudden coming into contact with people was okay again. Not sure what to make of that.

They did? You're basing this on what exactly

Even though we mention cable news, NBC and CBS have been terrible.

Yeah no legislation or even forced doctrine...my bad Mooby.

Journalism has a standard of ethics, some publications even post it. It’s certainly gotten out of hand and social media has made it worse. Opinion have been elevated...they are all tabloid. Some clearly racist and anti Semitic.

I highly doubt he was in full compliance. But it doesn't matter if he was or wasn't. He should not have ended up dead.

The media is the enemy of the people???

solution - read various news sources from different platforms then make your own personal decision on what you believe.

Id also recommend not considering people like Jimmy Kimmel or Adam Carrola as media or a source for you to get your news.

Thats the easy one. Be an adult. Use your adult brain. Make and form adult decisions and thoughts.

The hard one is trying to understand or brace for the coronavirus effect to all these protests. Even George Floyd tested positive for Corona.

You don't see that? I won't even mention most media leans left, but most of all media sources report with bias and only tell one side of the story. It takes quite a bit of digging these days to get the whole story and most people don't do that. The media divides people these days, plain and simple.

That guy could die. Shame to those police officers.

I like and respect police officers, I am white dude living in white suburb. Unless i am speeding the cops never bother me. I do recall a time when i was a youth between 16 and say 25, i lived on a small island (Newport, RI) and the cops would look and harass young males in groups or what ever. Definitely not to the extent African Americans feel on a daily basis, still even at the level they were bugging us it was a sicking feeling every time you saw a cop you knew they were going bug you about something.

Anywho, last night i went to Rita's and two police officers walked in for some odd reason i got that feeling again. My son (12) immediately pulled at me and nodded his head towards the police. When we got in the car i asked why he had pointed out the cops. He said i don't know they make me nervous (he has never had any run in's with cops). I wondered if he felt my anxiety.

The whole situation sadden me. One i was like what has this world come too and two its got suck to be a person of color and have to deal with that feeling everyday with the police.

Ok done rambling.

Pretty sure no one here is advocating for any Police to be shot chico or endorsing it. There is good and bad on all side of this discussion. I will say right off the bat I get upset at the treatment of blacks by Police in general and that includes Black on Black treatment by Police ,I have a black grandson and I worry about him constantly. I all so believe that BLM's is a racist organisation and if they truly believed in the change of Police culture would change the name. Right ,wrong or indifferent many White Americans becuase of the name will not listen to them . BLM's needs to condemn the killing of anyone Police bystanders anyone and make pleas against the violence if they want all of America on their side.
