Why is media not reporting PROTEST/RIOT in Brooklyn?

New York Daily News has this report:
http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/7-nypd-bullets-killed-teen-kimani-gray-article-1.1287452

New York times has one tiny article buried in an obscure corner of their sit, which mentions 46 arrests on the second night of "vigils"

No national news agency is reporting on these events. I can't find reference to them at CNN.com or NPR.org. A google search for "Brooklyn Riots" confirms these events are ongoing but also shows no agency more significant than NY daily news carrying the story at all.

 

Thanks for posting that, would I have known about it otherwise?

 

This.

 

dont need another travon..

 

IIRC an innocent child was murdered. The NYPD hates when their many misdeeds come to light.
I hope they find the bastard that killed her and....

 

This isn't surprising unfortunately. and I have a good idea as to why no national networks are covering it...same reason why they almost always ignore situations like this towards minorities until the news spreads and people demand for them to act like they care

 

Why are they not reporting on it? Because in the grand scheme of things, it's irrelevant.

 

It's much more relevant than a great deal of the nonsense that does get airtime.

 

Many would like to think that.

 

Perhaps it is more relevant but how many shootings occur in the US on a daily basis?



I read a little about it here...

True.

It's still not a big deal.

I hope the cops get in trouble. They won't. I hope there's social change. There won't be. I hope the NYPD starts being transparent and stops harassing, and sometimes murdering, everyone from legal protesters to people who they think look funny. But they won't.

In the grand scheme of things, I think there is much bigger news. Anyone who cares at all knows that oakland PD, NYPD, LAPD, and well, most PDs, are very corrupt, brutal, racist, repressive, militarized, unilaterally-acting, unaccountable cartels. One more or less story won't change that.

 

"most PDs, are very corrupt, brutal, racist, repressive, militarized, unilaterally-acting, unaccountable cartels"

The thing about broad generalizations like that is they are impossible to prove and ultimately, I believe, only serve to hurt the point you're trying to make.

 

Is the fact that it is unreported based on an objective judgment by media that the events are not newsworthy? In our 24-hr new cycle EVERYTHING that can take up screen time is reported on. At the very least, I think the lack of reportage proves the media's disinterest in the corruption and brutality you describe...in fact, the wealthy interests that control news-dissemination probably have an interest in subduing social unrest against institutional power. The fourth estate is not doing its job... ...but that is not news, either, unfortunately.

 

ya, who cares.just another black kid huh? how could the life of a black kid be rellevant ? i wonder would you be saying that if he was white.naw,did'nt think so.

 

I met a couple of Brooklyn nypds when I was in New York. They hung out at the same bar the person we were visiting frequented. They shocked me with their racism and hatred of black people. I'm from the south and.I've never encountered that level of racism here. They said Brooklyn should be caged in like a zoo and shooting the apes should be a sport.

I don't doubt many of their colleagues share their views.

NYPD is rife with corruption. I don't know that I would call it irrelevant.

 

Well yeah, it's hard to prove any of those without a conviction, and obviously, nobody is convicting them. Which is the whole problem.

It's a fact. Actions speak louder than words, and if you watch the money going to them, the increasing militarization of them and their weapons, etc, it's all a fact.... watch what they do to anyone from ows to this kid, and yeah... Look at that little town where they did nothing against the rape of that girl because it was football players, all that sort of shit. From little towns to cities, there's abundant brutality, intimidation, and militarization.

So, why does it hurt to say it? Because people don't want to think it? They either need to smell the coffee, or they may dislike me, because if they don't smell it I don't hold them in high regard anyway.

 

You guys don't know what happened! This kid probably really was armed! Here he is flashing a Blood gang symbol, (CK- crip killer) but of course the Liberal Media cut his fingers out, so all you see is a young looking black boy, and not see him as the thug he was...

 

And you do?

 

It's ironic that you got that image from the Daily Mail - which is hardly the 'liberal media'.
It looks like you Googled his name and picked an image to suite your theory.

I couldn't find that particular cropped image in other places.
I did notice the uncropped image around the neck of one of the mourners.
I also noticed a picture of him on graduation day and another of him goofing around.

Do you want to see pictures of my brothers black friends 'throwing up' all manner of hand gestures when they were 15-16.
Do you think they are all cop killers/gangsters etc?

To be fair, my first reaction was that the 'liberal media' didn't want to run a story about a black kid that actually DID wave a gun at cops. I was going to go with that theory, too. Then I thought: Hang on, how much do I know? Not very much at all.

 

And, all the racist treyvon shit again.

It doesn't matter, at all, what "gang sign" he "flashed" for what picture.

So what if he was armed?

He was shot by 2 plainclothes officers. They say he pointed a gun at them out of the blue. That reeks of bullshit.... why would he do that? If he couldn't tell they where cops, it sounds like they where on the aggressive and he was simply trying to defend himself.

I really don't care why the liberal, or conservative media don't report shit, I care that it's fucked up.

You are one of the nutters who thinks that guns are all about defending yourself from big government and police overreach and all that, but when someone is killed in an act of big governmental police overreach and he had a gun, you blame him for having the gun.... how ironic. Oh wait, he's black, he shouldn't have a gun anyways....

Why where the cops trying to detain him in the first place? What did they say? Couple of white guys in a black neighborhood, NOT in uniform, going hey boy, but your hands where we can see 'em? Do you think you would comply, in his shoes? For all we know, he just tried to run, and they shot him, and happened upon the gun he was carrying (if, indeed, he was carrying one. If a cop doesn't die, I find any story without absolute proof that someone they shot was carrying a gun, VERY suspicious).

You don't believe the media on anything you don't want to, it's all a NWO setup, but when the NWO thugs (you know that the NYPD is integrated with the CIA, and has gotten into (quickly dismissed) legal trouble for the extent of it? You know they have agents the world 'round? like when something goes down in palestine, the NYPD has a guy there) shoot a fucking child, you start blustering about how he was a thug and no good and had it comming and blah blah blah... He was ARRESTED a few times (in a police state), he MUST be no good.
