[QUOTE="oldngray, post: 1388572, member: 45230"] The fact that civil disorder grew far worse in the wake of the video's release, and only 24 hours after relative calm when the Missouri highway patrol assumed jurisdiction over the case, has repeatedly been cited as evidence that putting the footage in the public domain was sheer folly.[I][B] [/B][/I] What has been lacking from media analysis of the situation in Ferguson is a cool-headed appraisal for the actual reason that release of the video -- in response to FOIA requests from the media -- led to more violence and upheaval. There is a misconception out there, until the video is released, [B]the misconception is that a gentle giant (as Brown was initially described) was walking down the street, eager to start college classes, and a murderous racist white cop came up and for no reason, without much provocation, shot him. [/B]And then this video gets released on Friday and it shows that the gentle giant was not innocent. He had shoplifted. [I]More[/I] information was added, not less. Nothing was changed, no lies had taken place, they just released a video and [I]this[/I] is enough to cause looting and riots and so forth? Why? When are these looters and rioters going to figure out that all they got to do is move five or six blocks and they can destroy other people's stuff, instead of their own town. But why would the release of the video -- now I'm talking about in a sane world -- why would more information, hey, this changes things a little bit. [B]Because it destroyed the myth, folks! That's why, because it destroyed the myth, the phony narrative that had been created all week long, all of a sudden destroyed because now the gentle giant could no longer be seen the way he was originally portrayed.[/B] [url]http://newsbusters.org/blogs/jack-coleman/2014/08/19/rush-limbaugh-outrage-over-ferguson-video-it-destroyed-myth-about-mich#ixzz3AtKwQLc1[/url] [/QUOTE]
