Maybe not 180 degrees, but the major court cases lately:
The media largely only showed the video of George Floyd being knelt on, not him freaking out about not being able to breathe before that happened.
The Kenosha stuff was quite obviously at least possibly self defense when the whole incident was shown.
Both of those may or may not have affected the court cases, but the riots that happened? People’s opinion on them?
Oh, just thought of a better one - Nicholas Sandmann. There’s a full 180.
- Wolfenstein98k 5y agoAll in one direction, too. Curious.
- Blahah 5y ago> The media largely only showed the video of George Floyd being knelt on, not him freaking out about not being able to breathe before that happened. Are you implying that restricting someone's breathing by kneeling on them would somehow be less bad if that person was already complaining of breathing difficulty?
- Auracle 5y agoOf course not. But it makes the whole thing a lot less clear cut in the absence of other information. Would he have died anyways if someone wasn’t kneeling in him due to drugs or other causes? Should they have believed him more or less that he couldn’t breathe when he was on the ground? I’m not saying it at all excuses their actions, just that the media was pushing a narrative by not including that.
