That was five weeks ago, and was reporting from the immediate aftermath of a major violent event — when little is known conclusively about what happened. Nevertheless, even the early findings and suppositions of the investigators is worth reporting to the public. Even if findings and conclusions change later, which is common and unalarming.
And it’s total crap. Watch the videos. There’s no need to doctor the narrative.Quite the jump here
BTW, this is the NYT’s update. The investigation is ongoing and further changes in the account of Sicknick’s death are virtually certain.
What was fabricated? The guy is dead, along with a handful of other people, and 100s more injured. Of course it was violent. Did you watch it?
This is where you start conflating two different issues.
This is absurd, but I think hearing how the media is overhyping the US Capitol falling 1 month afterward from Mr Benghazi himself makes this perhaps the richest post in FFA history.
That is not a good update and doesn’t do a good job of clearing things up. It says “One Capitol Police officer, Brian D. Sicknick, was killed, and investigators are increasingly focused on whether chemical irritants were a factor in his death, according to a senior law enforcement official. The Capitol Police said in a statement that Officer Sicknick died from injuries sustained “while physically engaging with protesters.”
Imagine if Minneapolis police had not evacuated the 3rd precinct (the one that burned down) and instead there were two dozen of them barricaded inside. Now imagine a hundred protestors had gotten inside the precinct and were smashing the windows and doors with shovels trying to get access to where the officers were. If one of them got shot trying to crawl through a smashed window as the two dozen were radioing for backup because they were overrun...well, you are nuts if you think the lead story would be about the unarmed protestor
The official Capitol Police statement - from day 1 - only said that Officer Brian D. Sicknick died Thursday night "due to injuries sustained while on-duty,"
First, you shouldn't keep using the phrase "beaten to death" when it's not in the NY Times articles.
Kyle Rittenhouse? Dude killed an unarmed protester and he’s been in prison for months.
Umm, he has been out on bail since November. And he killed two people, and he wasn't a cop
Very fine hair I'll split here: At this point, all we know is that:
Not dying of blunt force trauma doesn't preclude having sustained blunt force trauma.
Yes you are correct and I am wrong. I missed it at the end of the article. They do do a good job of explaining things. Colossal waste of time in my part.
sorry folks.
Read one post upYes you are correct and I am wrong. I missed it at the end of the article. They do do a good job of explaining things. Colossal waste of time in my part.
I quoted the relevant sentence -- the article acknowledged:I can't help that it's not yet an investigatory hammerlock -- this stuff can't always be sussed out quickly. And for a scene this chaotic, new info and contradictions of previous info will be rolling out for months. Years down the road, there will likely be investigatory volumes written about the Capitol insurrection that will disagree with each other in the details ... not too different from, say, writings about Civil War battles or the JFK assassination.
Thank you for pointing that out. CNN's details differ a bit from those of the New York Times, then. We'll stay tuned and see if investigators can reach a supported conclusion, which is not yet guaranteed.
Which is exactly why I pointed out that we dont know how he died yet. And not just investigators, the ME as well.
But you didn't just do that. You said he could have died from COVID. Which directly contradicts the official police statement.
What is sickening is anyone giving a pass to armed domestic terrorists attacking the capitol with the intent to maim and or kill police and lawmakers, including hanging the Vice President of the United States, all in the name of supporting the fragile ego of one man who can't come to terms that he lost in a landslide and instead has been fear and hate mongering for weeks, whipping this crowd of true believers into a frenzy of blood lust. Unbelievable.
Rittenhouse is not in prison. not even in county jail. He posted bail and is awaiting trial.
I never made a single post about Benghazi. I never paid attention or even really know the dtails of what it was about. But nice distraction and lie. Still no explaination of why it was absurd just 100 percent trolling.
1. What armed terrorists are you talking about? There were zero shots fired by the so-called insurgents and as far as i know no one inside was charged with possession of a gun, but there probably were a couple who carried. Several charged who were outside and one pyschpath a mile or so away with an assorrment of weapons. But your characterization is false, the so-called insurgents were not brandishing or using guns in any way as your rhetoric clearly implies.
I am 100 percent certain the lead story would be that an unarmed black protester was shot by a white police officer and the medua would endlessly discuss how the protester would not have been shot if he was white. That is the only angle the woke media cares about. It is all about being a hero for so-called social justice.
I've seen a bunch of your posts on an array of subjects in this forum. You should probably sit this one out if your going to make claims about other posters being absurd. Maybe do some reflection and come back a better poster.
Chris Cuomo has stated multible times that Sicknick was "bludgeoned to death" with a fire extinguisher. How could he report that, then double down a number of times knowing it might not be true?
Oh..I guess it is OK then to broadcast it numerous times. My mistake.
He’s not a journalist. I don’t think he deliberately got it wrong. He’s relatively fair, IMO, for an opinion guy. But that’s what he is.
An opinion guy went with the initial reporting. And Im no fan of Cuomo (or his brother).
I agree. The problem is CNN, FOX and all cable news are so anxious to run stories that will fire up their base audience that many times they are not properly vetted. In his bio it states Coumo is a television "journalist"
It's very misleading of you to use the word "girl" to describe a 35-year-old woman. If you're truly confident in your talking point, then you shouldn't need to mischaracterize the facts.
all of what you said here is a complete fabrication and/or exaggeration. First off, "girl", "woman", who cares? You're doing it simply because you're trying to distract from the point. Fail.
Describing a 35-year-old as a "girl" is not just misleading, but it's a deliberate attempt to minimize their culpability. It's also sexist (we wouldn't stand for using the word "boy" to describe a 35-year-old male business owner and veteran) and paternalistic.
Talk about misleading
We need to cut the crap and label CNN as GUILTY. Enough of the opinion writer BS. If you watch his show it doesn't say OPINION at the top, it says CNN NEWs complete with "Breaking News Alert" tickers scrolling at the bottom, the whole 9 yards. People turn into CNN to watch the news, not Oprah. People turn it on, suck it down and take everything he says as fact. Just look around the PSF the last 4 years.Summer Wheat said:
