2. How can you support this? What did the reporter do to justify this?

4. Reread the post

He didn't try to justify anything. Quite the opposite.

6. I was talking about the people who she was referring to, not her

13. Understanding how something can happen

doesn't mean support for it. Can you imagine a scene where the police have just killed your kid, and then some dapper reporters, all business, maybe smiling and obviously indifferent to what you are suffering show up to 'tell the story' and maybe you don't like reporters, or maybe you don't like black people, or maybe none of that has anything to do with it and the reporters just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

5. "Grieving mother has racist meltdown during the worst week of her life"

I'm not sure why the article calls her "unidentified" yet identifies her as the mother of a man killed by police

Regardless, it's clear that she hasn't suffered enough.

An article discussing this story. They sound like a lovely family. Well, they were at least.

8. Those poor fucking reporters.

Accosted by a distraught woman (who must be a racist) whose son had just been killed by police, and she even called them names. My god, they'll probably need counseling. Wasn't there restraint commendable? Maybe the mother should be brought up on charges. She could spend her kids funeral in jail. Serve her right.

14. Reportedly they did not know until after the situation she was the mother of the killed man.

Not sure why we are jumping all over the reporters. they were there simply to do their jobs. They said nor did nothing to the woman at least that we can see.

I do understand the woman's grief, but not sure that excuses her racial slurs.

15. The reporters did nothing wrong.

The damn TV station did when whoever runs it decided they'd turn the incident into something sensational.
