POLICE BRUTALITY CASES: WALTER SCOTT MURDER & MORE
(04-28-2015, 11:04 AM)HairOfTheDog Wrote: It was a source that had quotes from several pundits, along with the video (you posted it separately while I was commenting) in one place.

The quotes by pundits quoted therein are accurate to the best of my knowledge, and the video of Rawlings making the statement in context is authentic, so it's a suitable efficient source and there's no question of "objectivity" here.

The mayor is getting heat for not requesting heavy police reinforcement in advance and underestimating the volatility as well. There's also criticism of the city's decision to close schools today. I don't know if those criticisms are valid or not, could be. I think she must really be in a tricky spot trying to respect opposition while trying to restrict violence.

Here's a source for that criticism: http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/md-p...story.html

I simply did not interpret the mayor's words the way they've been interpreted by others and never said anyone "twisted' them.

Fair enough, it just seemed that you were laying the responsibility for her statement being taken out of context on conservatives, using an anti-conservative columnist as the source.

I appreciate the clarification.
