soo the first cop's radio didn't work, the security cameras didn't work, the trains weren't stopped, $10+ billion dollar nypd budget bigger than most other country's entire military, cops supposed to be all over the subway stations, yet some dood wearing a gas mask still shot the place up and walked right out still at large.

better give even more money to the cops, I guess.

Do you want cameras or body armor, tanks and machine guns?
Can’t afford both

A black person was the shooter so it is getting top billing on FoxNews as they look for the "masked madman".
Other than for identification purposes what does it matter the color of the shooter?
It shouldn't.

But fox covers it more when it's a black or brown shooter....and cnn seems to cover it more when it's a white male shooter.

Agendas, audiences, and such.
Really? Because CNN covered this one extensively as well.

I am sure they did a fine job covering it...and yet you were unhappy it got top billing on fox.

Unhappy? No. But terrible guess, though. I was just surprised because they typically give these types of events lower tiered coverage. Then I saw a description of the shooter and was not surprised at all.

Illy is a slave to them and yet it doesn't seem to slow him down at all when it is regularly pointed out that he is wrong.

You got some sort of data to prove CNN covered this as much as fox? Or that fox usually gives these "lower tiered" coverage? (Whatever that means)


Sounds like you're giving your opinion and I am giving mine.

I'll try to remember to screen grab the FoxNews coverage of the next mass shooting by a white person. Unfortunately, I'll probably only have to wait a week or two.

Fair enough. I find both stations to be highly agenda driven.

Suspect taken into custody.

Of course, the guy who caught him was not one of the 35,000 NYPD cops, but some bodega clerk named Zach.

Might as well just get rid of all the cops then, right? since a crimestoppers tip is what got him. That's all we need.

And then sat around waiting for the cops to actually show up, for so long he eventually got bored, and started walking around the hood, at which point ol’ Zach finally did the police work for them.
