Ethics in journalism? You want them to start a new trend? What was old will be new again?

Family calling for the release of the video. Police say not yet, it's still part of an investigation. Although, I have to wonder how normal that is. Family also saying it's NOT a racial matter, and saying everybody needs to keep calm. I do wish they had told the NAACP to step back, but I suppose they have resources the family doesn't.
As for how fast they got there, this report says three minutes. also says he was "waving a rifle around, causing a panic" and "people were fleeing for their lives" so take a firm grasp on the salt shaker first.

you are referring, of course, to the allegations that the guy was being "SWATed" by this guy who made the call. That could very well be racial, even the shooting could be. I only reported the families statement, which is more responsible than most in this situation.

SWAT team responds to college staff member carrying umbrella
How do you mistake an umbrella for a rifle?
A SWAT team on the campus of California State University San Marcos surrounded a staff member equipped with protective rain gear this week.
The incident, which occurred early Wednesday morning, was prompted by a call to the San Diego County Sheriff’s office of a bald white male, wearing a black shirt and jeans and walking across campus carrying a rifle. This resulted in a shelter-in place order for some 400 staff and students going through orientation before the start of the fall session. Rapidly, facility and classmates banded together to barricade doors with tables and chairs, expecting the worst.
The situation resolved itself after 30 minutes when an umbrella-bearing teacher figured out he matched the description of the alleged gunman and surrendered to law enforcement.

shocker. Witness that started the whole thing, his story is blown by the video. WE go from "he was waving the gun around, pointing it at people" to "well, he did move a couple of things arounf on a shelf with it"

some retard freak out over a 'scary gun'
<---- Not Reallyfollowed up with a police freak out
<----- Not Really
Yeah, no bias in that story...
I don't believe the incident had anything to do with Mr. Crawford being black. Pretty sure it was all about some guy wandering around Wal-Mart with what appeared to be a shotgun. If you think that's a smart thing to do and falls within your 2A rights, I don't know what to tell you.

Never said there was no bias, but I"m reading around the bias to the facts they present. If those facts (ignore motivations, cant say what those might have been) are true, and the video shows what they claim it does, then the officers and the witness are done. Any officer who might mistake this for a shotgun should be assigned to a desk, one in say an insurance company office.

Now, does it look like it might be a scary "assault rifle"? Sure does to the untrained eye anyway. Good things officers are trai...... never mind. Even so, if the video shows him raising the weapon towards the officers, I would go with it being a good shoot. But I'll bet it doenst. Nothing to hang that on but my gut, but I'll trust it.

In other words this was a SWATTING.

Meh, I wouldn't go with that. To me, that term means that there is some connection, some payback being gotten by the person calling this in. This to me just speaks of an ignorant racist freaking out and making up what he was sure would get a response.
Connecticut School Locked Down Due to a Student in a Military Jacket
Allegedly a school employee noticed a suspicious looking male about 5 feet 7 inches tall standing in the school’s hallway. The strange man was apparently clothed in a “green military style jacket.”
Police were immediately summoned, and emergency alerts went out to all the parents advising them of the incident while police methodically canvassed the area.
Finally, sometime between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. police discovered the culprit who matched the school employee’s description perfectly. He was a JFK Middle School student hard at work in his assigned classroom.
Police then performed a secondary search of the area, and the student, and determined that he was not a threat. The lockdown was lifted shortly after 1 p.m.

That sure doesn't look like the Red Ryder BB gun I got for Christmas.
