I just don't think it was necessary to show that same damn video over and over, it's like kicking someone when they're down. In my opinion that doesn't make us as a country look very good either, but HEY we're all entitled to our opinion. I am told frequently that I care TOO much about people, so maybe this is why I feel like this. Either way, don't flame me guys, please.
Ditto Kiki.

I think the media is showing this clip over and over to dehumanize the guy and make us view him as an animal. But I think that in some cases it's actually going to backfire and make some people feel sorry for him.
