i love the show counterspin every friday they do a weekly critique of bs in mainstream media. they tore apart this piece from the AP. at first i couldn't see anything wrong with what the AP said. it seemed fine to me. so i was eager to see how counterspin ripped it apart. see if you can spot what's wrong with this AP quote...

Quote:
Incidents involving white law enforcement and black suspects have raised concerns across the U.S., in particular since last August when a white police officer fatally shot a black 18 year old in Ferguson Mo, fueling sometimes violent protests and a nationwide black lives matter movement
can you spot what's wrong with that?

answer in spoiler
Spoiler:
they used the word "suspect". freddie gray was not a suspect nor akai gurley. tamir rice and john crawford held toy guns. and ferguson officers suspected michael brown of not walking on the sidewalk. a number of those killed have been "suspected" of being mentally ill and needing help. and the article is mainly about the rampant police killings of innocent black people, but the only thing he describes as "violent" is the protests

someone who is arrested and being transported in a police car is actually the definition of a suspect

the police obviously suspected them of something, so that technically makes them suspects. yes. but the police were wrong to suspect them. that is the point


"victim" would be a more accurate word here than "suspect"

you could also change the word "incidents" to "murders"

freddie gray was chased without probable cause, and arrested after the fact. which is why the officers were charged with false imprisonment, among a whole slew of other felonies.

they were wrong for suspecting the guy who robbed a store of robbing a store?

My guess is that the Jurassic movie involves greedy misguided people underestimating the danger of large dinosaurs.

i don't know the robbing the store story. but if i try REAL hard, i MIGHT be able to come up with a scenario where the cops made a mistake and shot someone they shouldn't have..... oh, maybe the kids with toy guns?

Looks like Daniel Barenboim, conductor extraordinaire. Probably still funny.

Barenboim is omnipresent. He conducts everything but Amtrak.
