&nbsp;What NBC () described as “more aggressive tactics” included firing paint ball rounds at residents as they stood on their porches.“After Curfew, Detroit Police to Disperse Protesters Who Refused to Leave” (Detroit Free Press, )“Minneapolis Officers Use Against Protesters as Rallies Flare Around US” (NBC News, )“An Agitated Trump Encourages Governors to Use on Protesters” (CNN, )“Police Against Protesters and Bystanders Alike, Adding to Disorder” (Washington Post, )“After Curfew, Protesters Are Again Met With in New York City” (New York Times, )“Six Atlanta Police Officers Charged in of College Students in Car” (ABC News, )“Despite Curfews and , Protests Persist Across the Country” (NPR, )“Low-Flying Helicopters, Used to Disperse Protesters After DC Goes Under Curfew” (Washington Business Journal, )“While Tensions Between Police and Protesters in Some Cities, Other Officers Joined the Movement” (CNN, )“’Rush the Crowd’: Protesters With Officers at End of Peaceful Rally” (WDJT, )“Fiery Erupt Between Police and Protesters Over George Floyd Death” (New York Times, )Between Police and Protesters in Brockton Brings Out Fireworks and Tear Gas” (WBTS, )“De Blasio Denounced After Police With Protesters” (New York Times, )“Mayor Downplays of NYC Protesters” (AP, )“Floyd Protests Suppressed in NYC as Police ” (KIRO, )“Retreat or ?

Click the button below!Thank you..Unbelievable. They’re coordinated to use the same terms (“aggressive tactics” etc). Who coordinates them?Excellent report.Got it. Police – bad, protesters – good, looters – no such thing/they are just misguided, they deserve to be treated with love and respect.Thanks. Useful to see protection of police aggression.On other hand, a hazard if media further inflames current climate of revenge a/g police by simplistic headlines, . . . . but in text of article should document (as best possible)the police motive and excessive brutality of action.Aggressive, clashed, boiled over, deploy, rough, enforce? FAIR considers these weak words for headlines in mainstream press?This is FAIR playing the click bait game and then not even offering to comment on their quoted headlines for content.Is this ‘weak’ reporting of the events in one of the headlines they complain of? I’d say there is a whole lot of fairness and accuracy in this reporting.“As the group proceeded down the street, a row of armored officers on bicycles blocked its path. The officers shouted at the protesters to move back. When 8 p.m. arrived, a second group of officers came in from behind. They played a recorded message over loudspeakers advising the group that the curfew was in effect, and that the protesters needed to leave the streets.But the protesters were pinned in.Officers charged into the crowd and began to arrest people who had been protesting peacefully moments earlier. With no apparent provocation, officers shoved protesters onto sidewalks. Many people tried to leave, shouting that they would willingly go home. But with officers on all sides, they had no way out.Around 8:30, officers charged in again, swinging their batons and striking protesters. Dozens of people were arrested, and then forced to sit on the street with their hands cuffed. One person was taken away on a stretcher.”Did you just search for a list of keywords “aggressive”, etc. in recent headlines?All the state capitalist news networks are complicit in this-merely different outlets for the same Big Brother franchise. Still, the internet and what we can dig up here, there and everywhere with just a bit of effort will save us for the meantime, that is, until they get to control the Internet. At that point, it will be xeroxed copies of info left nailed to trees and under the windshield wipers of parked cars, all the best, Mike Liston.Sorry, but I don’t view the word “clash” as the least bit mild. It very clearly implies violence, and doesn’t make any implication (either way) about whether or not it’s justified, or caused by the protesters, etc.Also “rough police treatment” is what it sounds like; it’s also not flattering to cops, in any way.FAIR’s 4-page, ad-free, newsletter publishes ten times a year bringing you the media analysis and activism that you won’t find anywhere else.
