Guys did anyone actually read the police report? I noticed 3 things right away, 1 just proves how this is a whole big joke..
#1) They only released a report because they were sued, notice how it was "filed" 11 days later by management, as if there was no police report, they had to make one to release one
#2) More info on a parking ticket, read this, nothing is on it, Page 2 is a complete joke
#3) This one is CRAZY... look at the top where it says printed by.... #rubme1 ??? Really?

I WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO FERGUSON
Posted by ryanschuessler on August 21, 2014 · 138 Comments
I had been on the ground helping Al Jazeera America** cover the protests and unrest in Ferguson, Mo., since this all started last week. After what I saw last night, I will not be returning. The behavior and number of journalists there is so appalling, that I cannot in good conscience continue to be a part of the spectacle.
**A clarification edit: I am not a full-time employee of any Al Jazeera branch or network. I am a freelance journalist who contributes to several media platforms.
Things I’ve seen:
-Cameramen yelling at residents in public meetings for standing in way of their cameras
-Cameramen yelling at community leaders for stepping away from podium microphones to better talk to residents
-TV crews making small talk and laughing at the spot where Mike Brown was killed, as residents prayed, mourned
-A TV crew of a to-be-left-unnamed major cable network taking pieces out of a Ferguson business retaining wall to weigh down their tent
-Another major TV network renting out a gated parking lot for their one camera, not letting people in. Safely reporting the news on the other side of a tall fence.
-Journalists making the story about them
-National news correspondents glossing over the context and depth of this story, focusing instead on the sexy images of tear gas, rubber bullets, etc.
-One reporter who, last night, said he came to Ferguson as a “networking opportunity.” He later asked me to take a picture of him with Anderson Cooper.
One anecdote that stands out: as the TV cameras were doing their live shots in front of the one burnt-out building in the three-block stretch of “Ground Zero,” around the corner was a community food/goods drive. I heard one resident say: “Where are the cameras? I’m going to go see if I can find some people to film this.”
Last night a frustrated resident confronted me when he saw my camera: “Yall are down here photographing US, but who gets paid?!”
There are now hundreds of journalists from all over the world coming to Ferguson to film what has become a spectacle. I get the sense that many feel this is their career-maker. In the early days of all this, I was warmly greeted and approached by Ferguson residents. They were glad that journalists were there. The past two days, they do not even look at me and blatantly ignore me. I recognize that I am now just another journalist to them, and their frustration with us is clear. In the beginning there was a recognizable need for media presence, but this is the other extreme. They need time to work through this as a community, without the cameras.
We should all be ashamed, and I cannot do it anymore. I am thankful for my gracious editors who understand that.

But for some reason they'd rather talk about Dorian's criminal record or some other BS.

Cool details but by doing this and announcing that he's leaving he's also making the story about himself...
And if was really passionate about his outrage he would expose the scumbags by naming them or the networks they or representing (but as a free lance journalist, I'm sure he wants to keep the doors open that some of these immoral businesses will pay for his work in the future)..
Or even better he should stay there and challenge them as his peers to do better.. He kinda sounds like a puzzy...He probably just wants to go home...
