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?

who said it was his car or in his driveway?

Where, in your "plausible explanation," does he keep all that equipment and colleagues ready to go, but none of the other paraphernalia of a major network journalist?

Or perhaps, being black, they just don't pay him enough to own a suit?

Re: Police arrest CNN reporter on air Reply #62 - May 31^st, 2020 at 3:34pm John is your "plausible explanation" that this black man, who is a talking head for a major news network, turned up to work on what might be the biggest news day of his life, wearing his trakkie daks and a baseball cap, and a riot kicked off without warning while he was enjoying his morning coffee?

Re: Police arrest CNN reporter on air Reply #65 - May 31^st, 2020 at 5:37pm So why did you automatically assume that the black man is a hapless victim of circumstance, lacking the intelligence and situational awareness to act in his own interest?

I haven't denied black people anything. You asked for 'plausible' , I gave you plausible. Did you use that word without even knowing what it meant?

It appeared that way. 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.

I see. Well, that's CNN's fault then, not the cops. They were just doing their job, arresting journalists not dressed properly with dodgy video, fake press passes and oh, tinted.

Is that right? I don't want to misquote you, dear.

Perhaps he just blows his paycheck on broads, booze and craps, like the rest of them uppity Niggra-rich journalists.
