Pretty sad when you have to get body armor to report in your own city.

Throughout the night, Carson got calls and emails from news stations asking if they could use his photos “for credit.” Or how about $75? “No,” he told them and tweeted. “I’m a professional. The last time I checked, you can’t eat a credit.” The money for his photos goes to his newsroom, but newspapers are struggling, Carson said, and “I don’t think newspapers should be subsidizing national TV news organizations.” He doesn’t mind sharing his work with local TV stations. The sharing usually works both ways, he said. But this is his profession. It’s insulting to be asked, by people who are paid to do their jobs, for free work. Joel

He was probably wearing the gear so he would't get shot by one of the Ferguson cops. They arrested several reporters who were just sitting in a mcdonalds recharging equipment and using the wi-fi. They need to fire the whole department and start over.

ralff Senior Member 766 posts Joined May 2008 Location: Asheville NC More info | I know this doesn't apply to all cops, my father was a police officer and a nephew is an officer, but the culture of some departments is not alway to protect and serve. Ferguson has had a racist attitude since the 60's.

I just read that Anonymous posted photos that were on social media which showed a confederate flag hanging on the wall in the police chief's house. So yes, unfortunately your assertion seems very valid.

One black kid being killed by a white cop tis indeed sad, but what about all the black kids in Chicago being killed by other black kids each and every day? The things you do for yourself die with you, the things you do for others live forever.

Let me preface this by saying that I have six adopted black children that have had the advantage of being raised in suburbia The things you do for yourself die with you, the things you do for others live forever.
