Sorry, couldn't resist.

Anyway, here are the lowlifes getting schooled by the chief of police.

How trashy..this shows how déclassé the media have become. Hail to the Chief.

And that, folks is a demonstration of how the Chief of Police should act!

Congratulations, Chief! I wish you were here in Spokane, WA!!!

Don

It's beyond trashy. It's downright unethical and it's morally wrong.

Awesome, just awesome.

If it was me, I'd have them arrested for trespassing. Scum like that deserve no less.

I was hoping is was "Police rule it justified self-defense."

And they wonder why people hate the media?

An even bigger problem for me is their inability to own up their screw up.

"How would you feel if this happened to you?"

"I don't know."

You're a bold face liar or too stupid. Obviously both.

I had "reporters" knock on my door once wanting dirt on a city council woman that was killed in an accident.
She was my next door neighbor.
They found a "roach" in her car and wanted some kind of dirt.
I let them know what I thought of reporters and their hack job on Richard Jewel.
Then I demanded they leave my property as I slammed my door on them.

They are damn houseflies. Disgusting.
The Chief showed them what ethics and class looks like.

I once had a news cameraman, driving a fully marked news vehicle, show up at a crash scene.
And he was drunk!
I enjoyed that thoroughly.
I would be involved in something the night before and when looking at the "news" coverage, often wondered if I was even there.

I take it that "Deanna" is the assignment editor. Day to day, AE's assigns who goes where, who covers what. What's "news" for a given day is decided by higher ups, usually in a meeting in the morning, AE's at the bottom of that authority chain.

Some AE's are sharp enough, others sheep unqualified to do real work. However able, they can be called on to make decisions as the day's news changes. The idiots regularly make stupid choices. I had one AE who was totally unaware the St.Charles, Mo was a different entity than St. Charles County, Mo.

Don't think that news media are solely populated by thoughtful, aware people making wise decisions about what you need to know.

Sheriff Morgan of Escambia County, FL cut off the local newspaper from access to ECSO. Now they have to get their news from public press releases. Maybe this chief will do the same.

I don't think many of us make that mistake.

Scumbags. Both of them.

This was great work by the police.

I'll never forget Carter Evans, of CBS news, interviewing a brand new widow of a hotshot firefighter. He asked her something to the effect - So, what do you think was going through his mind, as he was being burned alive? I detest that guy!

These last few years, Chicago TV stations have somehow coerced rape victims to expose their identities on camera, using as an excuse that this will "increase awareness" or something.

One victim, I'll never forget. Facial scars, eye damage, injuries to her arms, all shown in Technicolor. I don't understand what possessed these lowlifes to ask her to go along with this.

I record the local news so I can fast-forward through their bullshit, sometimes watching only the weather report.

I've seen cockroaches with a better sense of right and wrong than those two

disgusting display

no wonder the media is so reviled these days

Maybe a newspaper or two ought to put that on their mast-head, you know, just so as not to confuse the poor slobs in the neighborhood.
