If it had been Fox News what would your reply have been?  That was obviously not a slip up in editing. 

Obviously, Fox News has a rich history of irresponsible journalism.  NBC doesn't. 

Here's the explanation from NBC as to what happened:

NBC News president Steve Capus has finally come out and explained the full story behind the edited tape of George Zimmermans' 911 call while following Florida teenager Trayvon Martin. The producer of the edited tape has been fired already, and Capus said that others who were involved in the editing have been properly disciplined. He admitted first off that airing the edited call was "a mistake and not a deliberate act to misrepresent the phone call."

Somewhere in the editing process, Capus said, something went wrong because the people who are supposed to normally review material before it airs somehow missed the selective editing. In fact, according to Capus, NBC news executives did not even know the mistake had taken place until it was reported by NewsBusters and Breitbart.org.

Does anyone else think this cop is nothing more than a pathetic liar? 




(CNN) -- The Florida police sergeant fired for possessing shooting targets resembling Trayvon Martin defended himself Sunday and said the targets were meant to be used as training aids for "no-shoot" situations.

Sgt. Ron King was fired from his job as a firearms instructor for the Port Canaveral Police Department on Friday after an internal review determined he possessed the paper targets and offered them to fellow officers for use during a firearms training session earlier this month.

"When informed of the basic facts, (I) found the entire situation unacceptable," John Walsh, the interim chief executive of the Canaveral Port Authority, told reporters Saturday. "It is not the type of behavior that I want a police officer to have on both a personal and professional level. I find his conduct intolerable and I demanded that the chief immediately start procedures to terminate this employee."

The paper targets show a faceless black hooded sweatshirt with a bull's-eye on the chest. In one hand is a can of iced tea and in the pocket is a pack of Skittles candy, the same items Martin was carrying when he was shot and killed last year in a case that has drawn national attention.

King, in a video statement posted online, said he bought the targets because the two items -- the Skittles and iced tea -- were not threatening, which meant the target could be used to help train officers when not to shoot a suspect.

This is an example, to me, of the "dark humor" that police officers have a strong tendency to gravitate toward.

The cop is trying to cover his ass, and lying to do so. He needs to get into the unemployment lines and see what it is like to be a "scumbag".

That's the exact point I was making.  It's obvious he's lying and he's not smart enough to see it.

If you're going to be a liar, you at least should try and be a good one.

  If a person is a liar, he or she shouldn't be a cop.   :rant:  But as the judges and prosecutors think its legal for cop to lie and they do all of the time.   :rant:

Get ready to be inundated!   Trial starts today with jury selection.  I'm sure Nancy Grace and her smarmy southern accent will be in Orlando to pounce on any detail.  :roll eyes:

Oh goody.  I hope they don't run this into the ground like they have a habit of doing with some of the others.  I see a lot of History Channel and DVD's in our future is they do.

It is too bad it is getting all of this national attention........I hope a good judge and jury bring all of this to an end....and justice is served.

Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

That guy is fuckin' liar.  :yes:

Yep.  The evidence suggests he hurt himself after shooting Martin to bolster his claim of self-defense.
