So, what were they trying to hide?
The fact that most of the people there were not actually students at the university.
Also, the fact that the kid leading this protest is the son of a multi-millionaire railroad owner.
Lol fox news was trying to twist their protest into being about micheal brown. Thsts why they weren't having anything to do with the media.
ABC is the local news affiliate and was not really covering the news story. None of the local or national news outlets really had much in the way of reporters on the ground.
The pictures came from a few of Mizzou's own media students - such as this one - who was a reporter for the school paper.
I did. When I say I don't know why it was made into such a big deal, I mean I don't get why there needed to be an argument and yelling and chanting. The second they said "We don't want to filmed," he should have said "Okay" and walked away and found other people who were okay with being filmed. His insistent "FIRST AMENDMENT SAYS I CAN FILM THO" just made the entire situation so much more stupider than it should have been.
It's a public space. No one has the right to deny him free passage, nor is he prohibited from recording in public.
Also, after watching it a second time, what the ****? They said the students were walking in that direction and he'd need to move, so what does he do when a large group of people is walking towards him? Well, what any reasonable person would do and just stand there like a moron and say "UH YOU'RE PUSHING ME."
One who is interested in documenting the event that is supposed to be raising awareness to the issues experienced by the people in the protest.
Seriously, whoever is behind that camera seems like they realized they found trouble and instigated it further because it gave them a story and knew it'd give them views.
He was one of the only reporters there.
The fact is that these protesters were doing this to everyone. They just formed a circle and pushed everyone out of the way to make a 'safe space' for 'blacks only.'
Frankly, if you don't understand how that's trouble in and of itself, then you're a grape ripe for the press.
