(the tear gas thing is a rabbit trail anyway. They were gassed, regardless of the type of gas, shot at with non-lethal rounds, flash banged and otherwise forcefully removed to allow the president to without permission (trespass?) use a church property for a grossly inappropriate photo op. Not only that, military helicoptors flying low to generate powerful rotor wash - a dangerous maneuver -were also used later that night to disperse protesters

For the rest of time every time someone wants to whinge about left wing news sources I'm going to bring this up because it's just so egregious that it will never be lived down. And Sean Hannity et al. still have their jobs!"Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment. And it’s an embarrassment to evangelical Christianity that there appear to be so many who will celebrate precisely the aspects that I see Biblically as most lamentable and embarrassing."

Originally posted by DivineOb View PostYes. Faking a news report about finding a tear gas canister and accusing the government of covering it up is the kind of lie which will end your journalistic career. Just ask Brian Williams. Just ask Tom Brokaw. And neither of those are anywhere near as incendiary of examples as this one.

So the Park Police are starting to walk things back
https://www.vox.com/2020/6/5/2128160...ar-gas-protest
A US Park Police spokesperson said in an interview it was a “mistake” to insist in a statement on Tuesday that it didn’t use tear gas the day before in Lafayette Square to disperse a crowd ahead of President Trump’s photo op, explicitly noting that pepper balls shot by officials irritate the eyes and cause tears.
“The point is we admitted to using what we used,” Sgt. Eduardo Delgado said. “I think the term ‘tear gas’ doesn’t even matter anymore. It was a mistake on our part for using ‘tear gas’ because we just assumed people would think CS or CN,” two common forms of tear gas.
And we also have an admission that *some* cops had gas masks on
“If we had shot CS or CN, every [Park Police] officer there would’ve had a gas mask on,” said Delgado, who was present the forced dispersal on Monday. “But what you saw were very few officers with gas masks walking through the quote-unquote tear gas with no effects. Now that would be impossible if that was CS or CN and you had no protection.”

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostNothing about the crowd behavior has surfaced so far can justify the level of force used.

We are talking about justifying a man that wants to deploy active military into us cities against american citizens exercising their first amendment rights on the anniversary of Tiananmen square.
Keep it up mountain man, and you'll be a captain in a police state yet. A traitor to everything this nation stands for.

Here is one I remember where the reporter was exaggerating the wind to sell the seriousness of the hurricane, but you can see people walking casually by in the background
And there was a similar one where some reporters were sitting in a rubber raft, showing how bad the flooding was, and again, people just walked by in the background. And recently you had the reporter making a big deal about how nobody was wearing masks and endangering people, and someone walks by and says "neither is your cameraman"
ETA: vido of the raft fake news
