Washington Post article calling attention on how “Women are being shot by cops too”

The headliner for this article was how 250 Women have been shot and killed by the police since 2015...which doesn’t seem like a whole lot. Then they start breaking down numbers and this is their punchline.


Of the 247 women fatally shot, 48 were Black and seven of those were unarmed.

So 7 unarmed women in 5 years got killed by the police. In a nation with well over 300 million people.......And?

The worst part is these stats are completely dishonest because in most of these cases, the unarmed woman was staying with someone who had warrants, was armed, and started shooting it out with the police. They give examples of this in more than one scenario and try to paint the woman in a sympathetic light when they were only being a victim of making poor personal decisions.

There were one or two situations that occurred from no knock raids which I do disagree with. When they bust into someone’s house in the middle of the night...something bad can happen. There’s no need for that. Better to surround the place and announce yourself. Way less dangerous for everyone involved.

Well it looks the media will not stop with this agenda. Civil War is coming soon. Be safe out there.

How is it that the media cannot be held accountable for incitement? The media needs a wake up call. Charlie Hebdo anyone??

I sit and overhear truly smart and educated people that are so against Trump and his 'evil ways' and I can't help but be surprised that they are so easily navigated by media coverage.

"He's trying to tear our world apart!"

"There's going to be a civil war if Trump wins!"

I'm not talking about super left snowflakes with too many face piercings and rainbow colored hair and no job, I'm talking about truly intelligent, successful people inciting this rhetoric and it just baffles me. How do they not see that the media is controlling their mind?

I dunno, man. It's pretty sickening, isn't it?

The thing is, most of the information they report is factually correct. They just drown out the context and nuance and make things seem a certain way when they're not.

I'm not entirely sure that painting false narratives is illegal so long as the actual information reported is factually correct.

Sucks ass. ****.

A lot of ‘successful’ people are basically just hard working bureaucrats tbh. They show up on time and take orders, do what theyre told and they get promoted up a corporate hierarchy. Theyre not necessarily the deepest thinkers. My dad is one of these people. Well paid, white collar guy with a college degree... but he has no real depth as an intellect. People would probably assume from his salary he must be a fairly smart guy, but he really isnt. Hes just motivated to fit in and live a safe, secure life in suburbia. It doesnt really serve his interests to question the world around him.

Thats the essence of the bureaucrat, and there are a lot of those types around. The Nazis depended on them heavily. People who arent gonna ask the difficult questions, just accept the popular dogma in exchange for certainty and predictability. Most of humanity is bureaucrats if we’re being honest. Thats why mainstream media is so enormously powerful.
