I was bored last night and watched some of CNN’s coverage of these events. It was so transparent as the “reporters” kept pushing their own personal agendas and making inaccurate statements instead of simply reporting the events as they occurred.
They continually referred to Police Officers who were wearing basic helmets and bullet proof vest as Militarized-Police. The interesting thing is many of the reporters wore some of the same gear and traveled with armed security. As stated before the issue isn’t the gear, but how the gear is used. While I realize it was a small percentage of the overall group throwing objects there was still a real risk to the Officers safety and the gear was appropriate.
