98. Hmm, well, if pointing out your reliance on word of mouth as proof
is a disconnection from reality, then Im guilty as charged. Im funny that way. I usually expect people to come up with something other than word of mouth when they are alleging that a crime took place.

Thats usually called evidence.

So far, you guys have cried and cried about police brutality and yet, you cannot recognize that what you are saying has no support.

The U.N. Report - rehashes the complaint by two people. There is no independent finding of fact by the UN. Its allegedly, reportedly etc. It is an echo.

The video - grainy, badly shot, no images of the cops doing anything out of the ordinary even when its alleged they brutalized protesters. When there is video of the cops, its out of focus, wobbly, distant etc. Why wouldnt you get in close with the camera especially if you are expecting trouble? Of course, no mention is made of why people were shot with rubber bullets etc. I imagine that it might not mesh with the concept that all protesters are benign and all cops evil.

Pictures - no context, just like the above mentioned video. Ill take a picture of you with a kid sitting in your lap and distribute it over the internet saying its you molesting a kid. I can say what I want without context. get it?
