Chris Matthews Is Showing Pictures of Brown at Chuck-E-Cheese and As a Kid

I have been pretty critical toward the police and have actually understood the anger here in the Michael Brown situation. I have a real problem with shooting him 6 times.
However . . .
Chris Matthews is doing the Trayvon Martin approach where he is showing pictures of Brown at Chuck E Cheese and with a toy cowboy hat on and with his little brother or something about 5-6 years ago and other pictures like that.
Soon, he will put up baby pictures.
Here is the thing: I am actually sympathetic toward those who are upset. HOWEVER, when I see blatant media manipulation occurring, it causes me to question my previous judgments here because I start wondering what is true and what is manipulation.
Media needs to do its job and stop sensationalizing.
We need the truth, not emotional hype. People are going to get hurt here.

And now it really is Trayvon 2.0.

Matthews has to do that because he knows the type of person that watches his show. If he showed the video of the robbery, the guilt-obsessed whites would stop watching the show.

It is so sad what our media has become. I haven't watched cable news shows in at least 5 years because of BS like this.

As far as cable news, it's truly the BBC and PBS and thats it.

What is insane is they will spend the next 2 years destroying the cop for shooting the poor innocent baby while spending no time discussing the thousands of black on black murders that will occur over that same time frame.
For instance the 7 murders and 29 woundings that took place over the NORMAL weekend in Chicago.

And don't assume black people don't talk about this already. You just don't hear about it.

Mathews was showing a pic of him in a tank top looking big as frick the past ten minutes. And he totally grilled the black lady that was calling for an arrest and made her look a fool.

I despise Michael Brown because he has made this board really, really boring.

Yes. I saw that later. Good point. That picture balanced things. Kind of made my thread irrelevant after that.

I was watching his friend Dorian give an interview and 2 things stand out.
1. It looked like he was reading it off teleprompter or something.
2. In his interview he states that his friend big mike was shot in his chest or upper region then they started running. Almost right after he states the officer exited he vehicle to persue.
Is anyone familiar with how often cops fire their gun at suspects while still inside their vehicle.

Assuming the cop's life was threatened, how many shots does a person get to protect themselves?

2, after that you are on your own.

Hell, Charlie Manson probably ate at McDonalds. What's Matthews point? Heathen like to eat too?
