I agree with that Syrah, but how the nation sees that is decided upon by the MSM.And let’s not forget that those cops walked away free from those police brutality charges against them.
And frankly, so far, the MSM is playing this as an organized astroturfing (which it most assuredly is not) and being fairly dismissive of it. Could the MSM change it’s coverage? Sure. Right after someone pries them out of Obama’s pocket - his BACK pocket.

The internet, with things like Youtube, changes the dynamics somewhat from the days when the media could just pretend that the other side of the story did not exist.

Even in Iran, they could not completely suppress everything.

One thing to keep in mind about the media is that they are a little bit like sharks. If there is blood in the water, they will feed in a frenzy, forgetting friend and foe.
