How does a "press ID" clearly identify anyone if it is just something dangling from your trousers that people make for themselves?

they're issued by local law enforcement FD. I've already told you that.

Do you still think this is true John?

Bloody oath it's true. Unless you think the NPAA is lying

It is important to realize that you do not need a press "credential" to take pictures or cover events in public places (streets, parks, sidewalks that are not closed off to public access).

How do you know it is true?

Did this journalist have a police-issued press ID?

I know that press id's are usually issued by law enforcement. I can't speak as to the specifics of this guys press id.

So your ignorance of whether it is true makes it true?

or alternatively it might have something to do with the quote you've been given multiple times by a credible source. Cheesy

But you keep pretending fd, it's all you've got these days

So, can you think of a more plausible explanation for his uncharacteristic presentation?

I've already given you two plausible explanations

Quote:

maybe he got caught in the riots unprepared and decided to go live? Or maybe he was supposed to remain behind the camera. Who knows why. We don'thave all the information

So the most plausible explanation you can think of is that he managed to get several of his colleagues and all that recording equipment together, but forget to get changed out of his trackies and baseball cap?

Do you acknowledge that his dress was uncharacteristic?

What is it with you and making things up John?

Back to the original question. You acknowledge that his dress was uncharacteristic for a journalist from a major news network. You also acknowledge that this press pass you made such a big fuss over may have no value at all.

So, can you think of a more plausible explanation for his uncharacteristic presentation?

He's asking if he was tinted, JS.

Better stay away from this one. FD's managed to avoid it thus far.

no, the plausible explanations i gave were that he got caught in the riots unprepared and decided to go live? Or maybe he was supposed to remain behind the camera, everything else is you pretending i said something else.

You're getting to the stage where you lie with almost every post FD. Not a great look for you

Unprepared in the sense that he was wearing his trackies and a baseball cap, but not in the sense that he had several colleagues and all that recording equipment ready to go?

Quote:

Because he is black?

It was a bit hard to tell because apparently CNN don't give black reporters decent quality gear, so the video was a bit dodgy, but they did say his name was Omar.

In the sense that he didn't have time to get changed. I would think news crews have their equipment loaded in their van or car ready to go at a moments notice. But you keep grasping those straws fd Cheesy

I'm sure that if it was up to you that would certainly be a consideration.

So he has several colleagues and all that gear just sitting in a van in his driveway waiting to go, but nowhere to place his baseball cap and no jacket, and none of the other stuff that white journalists wouldn't be seen dead without? A good white female journalist can apply makeup while chasing an ambulance at speed, but a black man cannot remove his cap?
