Subscribe"Without context, the information conjured up by the different racial images implicitly endorses mistaken assumptions about the relative behavioral tendencies and values of the two racial groups. Even if the reason for any racial differences in news images is that Blacks tend to commit more violent crimes than Whites, it would remain true that the divergent images are conveyed without much explanation. Lacking context, the messages provide grist for unreasoned stereotyping and negative emotions toward Blacks.Not surpisingly, the authors found that representations of black crime were more extreme on television than in print, as befits the sensationalistic nature of the medium. Compared to tv, Chicago's newspapers presented more context and less imagery. But at the same time, they reported more actual violent events and referred more often to governmental attempts to control violence than did the tv. And the newspapers buried local crime stories in the inside pages, which downplayed the significance of the crime.
Just as important, when we looked only at those accused of crimes associated with violence, the differences persisted, albeit in some instances at a lower level of statistical significance. And similar contrasts show up in the research on local news in other cities that we have cited. Blacks in the news tend to look different from and more dangerous than Whites even when they commit similar crimes."
While "Freelance Photographer Mike Anzaldi" stood by and DID ABSOLUTLY NOTHING! Way to go bitch, just keep on clicking away! What if it happens to you or yours Mikey, you want us to just stand around?
He was RWOC'd by the way! The "Great Victim” was adamant about NOT SIGNING COMPALINTS! She wanted her stuff back, and wanted to go home. She could have cared less about the bad guy, or the fact that the offender fit the description of a strong-armed robber who his that area twice before. She, the VICTIM, was on the phone with HER lawyer, crying that the Police wouldn’t return her belongings fast enough. The Officers and bosses involved DID try, and attempted to do the RIGHT THING, alas, it was all for naught. I will actually feel sorry for this shitheads NEXT victim, because that time, its going to be this bitches fault!
he's a habitual offender in the loop and metra ,cta property. he challenged me to a fight in the subway while in uniform and lost. of course i didnt have all that help but one flex of my MUSCLES he was down for the count, and yes this was prior to J-FED. today i would have just ran away. no call- back and no law suit, no feds. if you do encounter him he is as strong as the photos show him to be.
I work in 021 and was there when the victim came into the station. She bitched and moaned the wole time that she did not want to stick around for the dicks and S/A to arrvie. The P/Os who handled this were trying to to charge him with strongarm robbery. But in typical 021 victim fashion, all the victim ated was to get her shit back and go. The P/Os and the W/C tried to explain to her tha if he wasn't charged with robbery he would be back to do this again to someone else. She would have none of it. Called her "attorney" and was telling him that the polic would not give her her property back. Then pulled the "Ihave a headache. I have to go" bullshit. She was offered medical assistance but refused. Then thry were going to try to put a hold on him but couldn't even get that without the dicks talking to her so they had o other option but to charge him with theft and battery then hope for an upgrade at his court date, which we all no won't happen because the offender and vicim, either both or at least one of them won't show. This is why I'm all for holding their proerty until charges are approved or their court day. You know damn well all she wanted was her stuff back and screw the hard work these officers did to try to get robbery approved. And they did try hard. One of them, E.J was a tact officer for years and knows his shit. But they exhausted every option they had and finally had to go with the misdemeanor charges. F@*&king victims are worse than offenders when it comes to dealing with them. Don't want to be put out for a minute.
