The problem was not that the media "reported" the event, but that they deliberately MISREPRESENTED what happened and did so because of their AGENDA. Holliday should have realized this and what would happen. He should have thought about what was in the best public interest. Would his actions serve any public good? Instead he just wanted to make a fast buck for himself. It was all about him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-32483505962181162022012-06-21T22:07:30.616-07:002012-06-21T22:07:30.616-07:00peterike:

He should have realized that the media would use and manipulate his footage to advance their own anti-white agenda. Or maybe he did realize but didn't care? He seems to have been motivated only by financial gain, of which he actually received very, very little. I guess Rodney King never felt the need to share any of his 3.8 million with the man who made it all possible for him. Without Holliday's actions, no L.A. riot, no 53 dead, 2,000 wounded, and no 1 billion in damages. <br /><br />I hope it was worth it to him....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-70182750447049495862012-06-18T16:30:23.960-07:002012-06-18T16:30:23.960-07:00pat said...

The study's author, Walter Hunt, a recent graduate of the University's Executive Education Doctorate in Professional Leadership program and an assistant principal in Houston, explained that he wanted to take a good look at the preconceived notion that the staff make-up of a school "should resemble the student body population," since this often directs "recruitment and hiring efforts among principals."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-74780776277285673952012-06-18T11:57:49.958-07:002012-06-18T11:57:49.958-07:00I had said for years that the real story was one o...I had said for years that the real story was one of media bias. Now I'm not so sure.<br /><br />I had read Lou Cannon's biography of Reagan and then his account of Reagan as governor. I liked them so I decided to read his account of the Rodney King riots. Cannon is a very good reporter - very through. His King riots book is more than 800 pages.<br /><br />In his account everyone in America had seen the twenty second video of the cops beating up King. But what no one knew at the time was that the full video was ten minutes long. According to Cannon when the jurers saw the whole thing they were shocked and outraged. The full video, he writes, tells a different story. It shows that King attacked the cops. It shows that King attempted the so called "Folsom Roll" a technique by which the man on the ground attacks a standing cop. It showed that King shook off repeated tazer strikes and behaved in a very aggressive and dangerous manner.<br /><br />According to Cannon the jurors conclude that they had been lied to. They felt that they had been manipulated by the news media though deceptive editing.<br /><br />Cannon's theory was that it was something like inducing a foul in the NBA. You foul someone out of sight of the referee and then when he retaliates it is seen by the referee. The jurors when they saw the full clip saw the full context and blamed the media. The jurors reacted to what they thought was an attempt to fool them by acquiting everyone.<br /><br />I wrote this story in an email to a friend yesterday and he suggested that the full video must be on YouTube now. It is.<br /><br />I reviewed the video and I am not so sure about Cannon's account. First of all the opening minutes are really bad technically. The camera jumps around. The networks claimed that they cut out those minutes because they were so poorly filmed. The conspiratorially minded think the networks didn't want to show anything that would tend to exonerate the cops.<br /><br />Certainly we have seen in the Trayvon Martin case that the networks will edit content to make an ideological point. But in the Rodney King case the first minutes are so chaotically filmed that they couldn't be shown on the air.<br /><br />More seriously, I don't see King actually attacking the cops. I see him absorbing an unbelieveable amount of punishment.<br /><br />Cannon also claimed that King's size, muscularity and imperviousness to pain scared the cops. That I can believe. Sonny Liston also scared the cops when they arrested him. King was even bigger than Liston.<br /><br />The last part of the video is also interesting. After King has been subdued and everything is quieting down, one cop leads one of the other guys who had been in King's car across the street to his patrol car. It is a very calm and proper arrest. The cop is gentle with him and has him ride in the front. The contrast with the events that just transpired could not be greater.<br /><br />Go look for yourself. Now that everyone on the street carries a movie camera in their cell phone we all need to get in practice at reviewing crime footage. <br /><br />AlbertosaurusPat Boylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477950851915567863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-3474671621676932532012-06-18T09:05:26.576-07:002012-06-18T09:05:26.576-07:00"
