What is with the media love for black cop killers?

[HomerJS]

The color of his skin is reverent because there is a history of the media circling the wagons around black cop killers.

Davis is just the latest, before him it was Mumia Abu-Jamal who has become a celebrity. In his case like this one there are people who SAW the murder happen and yet people proclaim him to be innocent.

You don't see this type of coverage for any other death penalty case. No one is making a celebrity of Scott Peterson for killing his wife (other than what was already there) they didn't make a big deal out of the racist in Texas that was killed a few days before Davis. Nor has was there this much cover of the other 10 people executed in Texas this year.

But for some reason Troy Davis is nearly a household name, why?

Boy you are really missing the boat on this one. It's got nothing to do with siding with black people when cop killings are involved. It's two things largest audience and largest controversy.

The media circles the wagons when white people go missing. There has never been a national media story of a missing minority that I can recall. The Jon Bene Ramseys and Natalie Holloways and Lacy Petersons go on for months.

Stop trying to create a divide when there isn't one.

It is interesting that nPJ has no problem with incresasing his post count, but has not made a thread about that convicted murderer Amanda Knox going free.

In fact, looking at some recent post history of him:

1. Black Man convicted of murder, with some issues about whether he is actually guilty - PJ blames the media and says they "love" black cop killers, ignoring the issues raised.

2. Cain vs Obama - states it's "Black vs Black violence", when there is no violence at all.

3. No comment at all about the "media love" for letting convicted murderer Amanda Knox off, but then again, she's white.

4. Recent Norway attack, PJ quickly jumped on the Muslim terrorism bandwagon, but then when it turned out to be a White Christian, he quickly did a 180 and claimed he was just crazy, and bailed.

nPJ looks to have some serious issues with race and religion it seems. Stereotyping FTL. More evidence to show how "faux balanced" he is, LOL.

A bullet costs at most $2.50. Put that in the back of the head of the felon and fire. Damn liberals try to make these things as expensive as possible. They love to punish the American victums and glorify and reward those that attack innocent Americans because they hate us.

Yea, this whole justice system sure is complicated. Or it is to ignorant rednecks like yourself.

Nice revisionist history there dude.

1. There is NO DOUBT at all about his guilt in legal circles. He had a dozen different appeals and the case was looked at by multiple judges including the Supreme Court and none of them found reason to believe that he was innocent. (have you read the ruling that I linked to in this thread multiple times?)

2. A black Democrat is attacking (verbally) a black Republican for things he said. My use fits with the dictionary definition of the word: "rough or immoderate vehemence, as of feeling or language: the violence of his hatred." or "b. to distort or twist the sense or intention of: the reporters did violence to my speech" Google "violent speech" and start reading the results, you might learn something.

3. She WAS convicted and then found not guilty thus she is innocent. Certainly someone as smart as you can understand that concept. If not perhaps you can understand that even lawyers in England admit that the case would have never gone to trial there due to lack of ANY reliable evidence connecting Know with the murder. (see below)

4. I suggest you go back and read the WHOLE thread. Before I made any comments in the thread it was being reported that it may have been carried out by Muslims. Multiple people in the thread were talking about Muslims terrorists as well. My 1st post in the thread was 3 hours after the thread started and after the media had reported that Muslim terrorists were taking credit for the attack. (see link below) As for the mental state of the killer, multiple experts say that he suffers from some type of mental issues including narcissism, megalomania, schizophrenia, delusions and that he may be psychotic. So I would say yes he is crazy.



There were 8 people who saw Davis shot the police officer vs the Knox case which was based on a little bit of DNA found on a knife that was too big to be the murder weapon and which had none of the victims blood on it.
