So there was more violence in Philadelphia this past week where a cop was killed. One of the men who decided it is ok to kill people and cops is missing and can't be found. My problem is that when a cop kills someone or as they say uses unnecessary force the news reporters are at the house of the victim where the family always gets to bash the cops and talk about how they are going to seek legal action. the reporters also find it ok to go to the home of the cop and harass him or her and their family. I wonder why no reporters have been interviewing the cop killers family and camping outside of their homes.
In a related story also this week cops were caught on tape beating a couple thugs on the street. The cops saw these men pull out guns and fire them at some other men. The cops then chased the men and caught them an beat them. Maybe it's just me, but I see just cause in this beating, but guess who doesn't the reporters. As I watched the news today the families of the thugs were being interviewed by the news. One of the mothers had the audacity to say the police had to explain themselves and that there was no reason for the cops to do this. What a joke!!!! Why didn't any of the reporters say hey, your son was shooting at another man, what do you have to say about that and do you think that him having a gun and shooting it at someone is RIGHT?
Personally I think the news people are in the wrong. The news reports how much violence there is and how it's wrong, but on the other hand make some of these people look like heroes. It's like the school shootings. When they happen it is reported on for days and sometimes weeks. If you stop giving it so much attention I think they will stop or at least decline. If a kid is thinking about doing a shooting at his or her school he sees how much attention it gets on TV and thinks hey I can make myself famous and be talked about.
Well that's my rant thanks for reading.

News Reporters!
I agree with you. Most times they seem to be a bunch of hate mongers. To make the "story" sensational the reporters always seem to side with the poor and underpriveleged who are being persecuted by the system. Cops are NEVER in the right.
SO anyways .... :-)
How are you guys doing? I can't wait until August to meet up with that little cutey Brandon!
I don't like the news reporters because they are always featuring the wrong people. Like you said, lovey-dovey, they side with the bad guy...
One of our local papers was featuring a series on the heating oil crisis this winter and how many families can't afford to heat their homes. They featured this one family on the front page: the mother said she couldn't work because she had diabetes (what?!?), the father kept bouncing from job to job, and they were complaining because they couldn't afford heat, food, ec... Meanwhile, in the picture, the whole family was wearing t-shirts. Well, if you can't afford heat, at least put on a sweater!!!!
Donna, hope you're enjoying your very first Mother's Day!!
