re: #25 Hoodies for Justice. T

This death HAS to be played out in the press, because otherwise it would have been swept away bad cops and all. Why people are upset that this is happening and questioning every instance? Because, as always, they are safe in their lives, they’ve got theirs. No empathy at all.

It’s not simply a lack of empathy, it really isn’t. Many people, myself included, are deeply skeptical of having a criminal case play out in the press, due to the American news media’s long history of trying to shape opinions and interpretations of cases to fit the interests of media organizations.

Further, with Florida having appointed a special prosecutor many worry that continued press leaks jeopardize the ability of the special prosecutors office to do its job. Those are concerns driven by the interests of justice, not by a lack of empathy.
