Timeline: Police Activity Since the Michael Brown Shooting
Written by Ben Pugh
As the media has narrowed it’s focus on the town of Ferguson and the actions of one police officer, many cop haters have used this incident as a rally cry, pointing out all that’s wrong with the police in America. If those people would shift their eyes to the full picture, they’d see a helluva lot of police officers doing good for their communities.

The day is early, but here’s my prediction: Some good things have happened today and some bad. Chances are, if you tune into the first five minutes of the news tonight, you’re only going to see the bad.

Thank you, Thonie, for sharing! Great stories you won’t hear on the first ten minutes of the news. I’m a TV junkie and can safely say, probably won’t hear about any on the national news.
