Media complicit in U.S. violence?
On the front page of a recent TFP was a photo of an unmasked protest leader, Jamar Johnson, followed by mostly unmasked protesters shouting hatred toward police and others. He is presented as a hero.
On the front page of the next day’s was a photo of unmasked police attempting to bring calm and protect lives and improperly masked demonstrators. The article is criticizing the police (who usually wear Plexiglas shields) for “endangering lives.” It is the protesters who are endangering lives.
Again, in siding with the lawless, our newspaper is joining the one-sided national media and holds major responsibility for the murder in recent days of several police officers, the vandalism, looting and burning down of innocent business and the causing enormous financial cost.
All these demonstrations will not bring back the life of George Floyd. The officers involved are being held for murder. What else do you want?
