The mayor of NYC was shown a video last week of 2 or 3 NYC officers being attacked and besieged by a mob. DiBlasio could only say, after seeing the video, that there was an "alleged" assault. He wouldn't go further than that. Yet when the Garner grand jury refused to indict, DiBlasio said it was "painful and shocking".
PaulS and Spence, why is that? Why do you suppose DiBlasio refused to say that the cops were assaulted (while seeing it on video), yet he was more than comfortable saying that the Garner cops should have been charged?
Words matter.
