Baltimore

Unless the source gives it to them in a parking garage late at night.

 

Step 1: Blame the media
Step 2: .....

 

A big part of what any news organization does is decide what NOT to publish.

 

Every situation is exactly the same as every other situation.

 

At least she's finally taking a hard stance on something. It's the wrong thing, but it's something. For most of the week she's sounded like she was in a medically-induced coma.

 

Benghazi, Baltimore, what's the difference?

 

Wait, so all this was really in response to an anti-African American video?

 

Your point of clarification is in fact a point of confusion. The officer files his own affidavit for probable cause about what he has learned in the investigation and discloses to the court his reasons for believing he has met the standard necessary for a warrant. It is the officer swearing to the truth of his investigation, not the prisoner.

Whether or not the officer misrepresented the prisoner's statement is well worth continued investigation by the media, but that does not mean the Post should sit on this - a court document outlining a significant part of the state's investigation - just because some people might question the prisoner's version. The Post did what it was required to do, ethically, which was verify the authenticity of the document and attempt to contact those whose words are represented in it.

Legally the Post is fine. Ethically the Post is fine.

 

Step 3: Profits!

 

More absurd drivel from a guy named John T. Reed on Facebook.

I can't for the life of me understand how or why somebody would or could try to hurt themselves that severely in Gray's situation.
The "Hurt yourself so you can claim police brutality" is total bullcrap that does not happen and even if it did, nobody doing it would hurt themselves that badly.
And I'm pretty sure the President made it very clear he did not condone the riots.

 

Police are now conceding as part of the investigation he was injured in the van, and that he struck and exposed bolt in the back of the van that caused serious injuries. The Sun — despite what the mayor believes — doing a great job on this. I want to see Fenton win a Pulitzer for beat reporting, even if Pulitzers are pointless bullshit.

Gray suffered head injury in prisoner van, sources familiar with investigation say - Baltimore Sun

 

Gonna be awkward when all the reporters vote to re-elect Rawlings-Blake.
