I'm not sure whether to post to this thread or start a new thread altogether: has anyone seen what's going on in Palmdale, CA? A young Black man, Robert Fuller, has been found hanging from a tree near City Hall. Police are quick to label the death a suicide, but Palmdale has a history of white supremacism and there are questions about why no-one heard or saw the hanging in so public a place. Many suspect a lynching:

My brother is a LA county deputy and was driving a van transporting inmates. The bus in front of him, also transporting inmates, was swarmed and ambushed by protestors. Threw rocks and bricks at it and jump on top, it was completely stuck. My brother turned around and passed some reporters a few blocks away reporting on another protest. He pulled over to tell them what was going on a few blocks away and they told him they have been instructed by their networks to not report anything violent and only cover peaceful protests.
i have little doubt we aren’t getting a very accurate story of what is going on in some of these cities.0 -

"You can't believe half of what you see and none of what you here."-Lou Reed (possible an original saying by Edgar Allen Poe?)So all we can do is read widely, talk to a wide range of people if possible, observe when possible, and be skeptical of anything you read, or hear about, including stuff here. Including what I say. Question it all."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

A man driving a busload of criminals pulled over to get out and talk to reporters?
Reporters only report on good news?
Strange days, indeed.The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -

I hesitate sharing any Th omg personal because the cop haters are always going to hate. Believe me or not, just sharing some info. Because news reporters out on the corner in one of the largest cities in the world during massive protests is hard to believe you could stop at an intersection, roll down a window and have a 6 second conversation waiting on traffic.0

Call me a skeptic.
In the age of twitter it would be kind of hard to hide all this secret rioting. Maybe your brother should start recording all this troubling behavior to share it with the world.Post edited by dignin on0 -
How long does it take for you to say “you should cover the LA county buss that got swarmed 2 blocks over” “We can’t, our network said to only cover peaceful protest, no violence” ?
If that takes you more than 8 seconds you should see a speech therapist. I stutter since I was about 4 and I can still get that out in less than 6 seconds.Post edited by mace1229 on0 -

Maybe your brother should start recording all this troubling behavior to share it with the world.They called for backup, he witnessed the first moments live and listened to the rest on the radio as backup arrived and Several patrol cars dispersed the crowd surrounding the bus.
But whatever, you’re also the one that didn’t believe me when I said they are about to release most of the jails for due to Covid because I wouldn’t provide leaked secret documentation, then a few days later every major city was reporting they did. Either you think I made the whole thing up, or my brother lied to me, or that maybe the news isn’t reporting on violent protests. Since just a week ago they were looting stores in broad daylight in front of cops and suddenly you don’t see that happening anymore it doesn’t seem like a big stretch. Or maybe they just all decided to do better? Whatever.0 -

Last time you accused me of the same thing when I shared my same brother warned LA was about to release most of their inmates. Turns out most major cities did within a few days. I guess it’s a better schtick than just personal attacks every time I disagree with someone.0

I don't think we need to not take you word for what your brother told you. Yes, more verification would be helpful but lets take yours and his words for it and move on forward from there. At which point I would say, assuming your story is 100% correct, does this prove that the media is only reporting non-violent protest and that the violence is being hidden by the media? That's pretty much a rhetorical question.
