So, it was black-on-white violence, and then mainly black-on-black (or gang against single guy)? I struggle to see how this can be creatively cut to make it fit current narrative?

by leaving out the justice served part they could try and use it to demonise black men or men in general.

I considered that, but first of all, that is not the current white-on-black narrative, and second of all, the revenge does not make the original perpetrator less of a jerk.
replied 2004d
Maybe. Main stream media do seem to have chosen a white-on-black narrative over a cop-on-anybody narrative.

Now you mention it, I suppose it's both. The extreme lefties in Pennsylvania after all both want the whole policeforce abolished and set up this already-falling-apart police free thing

BTW, even with the footage, I am skeptical whether we have the whole picture. I bet I could dream up a scenario where the violence against that woman could appear understandable

The point is, basically, not to try judging a situation based on a random video.
replied 2004d
The situation seems rather easy to judge here. A little skepticism is still warranted I think, but to not dare judge anything because there could be a larger context in effect, ...
replied 2004d
that just leaves you unable to judge anything at all. Not only videos can be taken out of context after all.

There is more to every story. But punching someone already on the ground and no longer fighting back is pretty low.
