Why are we letting the media get away with this? Why is the media basically inviting the protesters, looters, etc... then these journalists have enough nerve to act like they are the victim.

Is anyone else tired of this?

I no longer can watch this anymore and switch the channel. All this is doing is reenforcing negative stereotypes. I'm tired of this and the last few years I feel the media has instigated all of this to the point of more ratings at the expense of the general public.

Oh Uh!
The Blacks and Hispanics are rioting again.
It's that damn Liberal CNN Fault that they are rioting again.
I wish the Blacks and Hispanics would just stay in their place like in the 60's.

I might be missing something, but I haven't seen that Hispanics have burned down any cities, haven't looted and destroyed business, haven't demanded that Whites can't use certain words in the English language, haven't gone on a crusade to vilify the police in the USA, don't riot and shoot people over $250 clown shoes, etc. etc. etc.

Hispanics, IMO, have instead joined the mainstream and avoided such nonsense and instead work with society in general instead of against it.

The media instigated the rioting. Has nothing to do with the ethnicity and i'm offended you stereotypically brought individual races into your comment. But you know the media is responsible for all the rioting, protesting, etc...

They will take a story, report it over and over and over and over and over and over again. They WANT more racial tension because it is good for ratings. They do not care about how they are brainwashing people or purposely only interviewing protesters that fit a certain stereotype.

It is very sad they are doing this.

Lets keep this post about the media and not about attacking other nationalities. The real issue is the media is instigating all of this.

Oh, for goodness sake! This reminds me of the Civil Rights movement when southern segregationist cried about Northern agitators and the media "stirring up" their Negras(sic) who were previously so happy to live under Jim Crow. I'm sorry but the media goes where the story is and the story is that there are a lot of angry folks who are just sick and tired of the state of American policing and who would be taking to streets even if the media didn't exist much less report on these stories.

You really need to stop putting this group on some sort of pedestal.

When the Lakers won the championship a few years ago, it was the HISPANICS that were rioting and acting the fool.

Not even the media would go as far as to compare the riots, lootings, cutting fire hoses, etc in places like Baltimore & Ferguson, to the Civil Rights movement.
