How come the MEDIA and that weak simp DON LEMON hasn't called them "thugs"?

Don Lemon had no problem calling black protestors in Ferguson, NY and Baltimore "thugs", but yet he's silent on this. Not just him, even the Daily Mail is watching how they refer to them.

You gotta know that if all those cops had rolled up surrounding the restaurant the bikers would've been scrambling to hide whatever stuff they had or beating feet for their bikes so they could leave. Why wait until a gun came out, why wait until something jumped off? They knew odds were great that something would happen.
Why not just roll up, show yourselves and watch 'em?
That's crime prevention...

NYPD would have had the city on LOCK had they pulled this mess over here.

You're completely clueless.

Well..... your mistake here is putting any kind of faith into the USA MSM, and especially that of any cable "news" channel, CNN included. They are race hucksters no doubt about it.

As for the Daily Mail, it routinely uses the word "thug" to refer to non-black criminals. A quick search will prove that.

We finally agree on the media being race hucksters.

Thankfully the MM and Don lemon are not ME nor I'd bet are they any of the people on here.
Marilyn, you've got to remember that the media (as a whole) has NO connection to the reality of the average person rather, they try to create their own reality. They put bigoted,stupid people from both sides of an issue on TV and in the paper that they think will draw the "right" eyeballs (the proper demographic), the more outrageous the better it seems.
ALL of them are guilty of this, they pander to who they think their audience is so please don't judge those on here by what the talking heads do or do not say.

"I" certainly think some of those involved in the incident in Texas are thugs, just as I think those who loot,riot,burn and injure innocents are thugs/sheeple as well.

Doesn't matter a whit to me what color they are, although I can't speak with certainty for others on here I'm betting (hoping) it's the same with them.

You don't know how much this makes me happy that "some" folks on this forum finally get what's happening.

At this point, it really is beyond "race".

The police beat up this man white man either last week or a couple of weeks ago and all it got was a small paragraph blurb on the DM. His face was a mess!

He wasn't armed, on drugs or a big man. The vicious beating he received was unnecessary and made no sense. This is why many people in the urban communities are starting to say that cops across the nation are getting a "new" type of training when dealing with the public. They don't seem to care about repercussions or going to prison.

The cop who jumped on the hood of a car to empty 15 rounds into the windshield of people who were not moving is another one of those "proof positive" things that shows many of them will never be punished. Eric Garner's killer cop is STILL on the force. The NYPD doesn't seem to have any plans on firing him either.

You're right, as would many major metro areas. That is what makes me wonder "what don't we know" about this whole deal.
It just doesn't make sense, the PD goes to the Mgr of the restaurant prior to the arrival of the bikers and tell them "bad people are coming and we offer our services to help out so bad things don't happen". Mgr refuses (as has been reported ) and instead of showing a huge LEO presence in the lot around the place to dissuade trouble they hide snipers on rooftops and cops down the road.

Could anyone imagine the response from Sheriff Joe in AZ if something like this was about to go down? He'd be in front of every news camera available with spittle flying,hair slicked down and surrounded by legions of deputies and posse members (mounted and in cars) as well his Mobile Command RV and of course armored cars.

Further thought: It seems to me the LEO's that have been the most outspoken about criminals,thugs and such and are regularly derided in the news are probably the ones that wouldn't let things like this happen?

I'm really not understanding this thread and the need to find these mangy animals "innocent".

In the thread on Freddie Gray, many of these same posters caping for these bikers were doing back flips trying to say how Gray ripped 80% of his spine from his body and CRUSHED his own voicebox. They were supporting the police to the fullest. Even said that Freddie eating lead paint as a kid made him damage himself as an adult.

It's the complete opposite in THIS thread.

The bikers are the "heroes" and the cops are the "criminals".

Hmmmmmm....
hahaha exactly...!
