Exactly.

Photo's of all six finally showed up later.

By not showing them earlier and going with pictures of 3 white officers dragging Freddie into the van, they were encouraging and hoping for a race riot.

Were the other three known at that point? The three officers dragging him into the van WERE white so what would you like the media to do?

Looks like 3 so-called white and 3 so-called black. In reality they are just 6 Americans, but some people feel race is important? Strange. Go to any other country and there are just nationalities, not a subdivision of race. Both sides love to keep it alive I guess. Goodness, "African American"?????? What, their great, great, great, grandmother was from Africa? lol What a joke.

Do their research and report the facts. It is the "media's" JOB to investigate, not to report only half of the truth. They kept the black officers pretty well hidden until yesterday.

Right, exactly. They repeatedly showed a clip of the three white officers. But the other three -- including the charged with murder -- are black... : smack::s mack::sm ack::sma ck:

Do you think the initially outrage and rioting would have been as bad as it was had people known the other three officers were black?????

Did they? Seems to me that those officers caught on film were the ones who were broadcasted. Those three officers happened to be white.

As it turns out 3 of the 6 are black, with the 2nd degree murder charge (absurd in my view) being against a black LEO.

The driver of the van, who is black, can be seen in at least one video, he goes to the back of the van and opens it. I'm not going to go hunt it down now, if I run across it I will post it but it shouldn't be hard for you to find.

How is it possible that 3 black police officers can be at fault, but black drug-addicts who disobey police orders can't?

I'm just waiting for the "black community" to claim that the charges against the black police officers were racially motivated.
