Cop Killed By Food Protesters

If the cop had HURT one of freaks at this protest the story would be all over the news. But even though the cop died the freaks were not hurt thus there is no coverage of the story. I guess the MSM wouldn't want to hurt the credibility of protesters.

According to the Philadelphia Daily News there was a biotech industry convention at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Food protesters who were there to cause a scene protesting the genetic advances and treatments of biotech on food were on hand. Well, actually they were "protest everything" types...they were actually a part of Summer Solstice celebrations and decided to move to the Convention Center.

And then...

The peaceful "Summer Solstice Day of Action" that began simultaneoulsy in various places at about 9 a.m., heated up when protesters moved in front of the Convention Center after noon. They blocked Arch Street, and a line of police tried to move them back, holding their bikes and nightsticks.

A protester poured a bottle of water down the back of an officer. The officer spun around and grabbed the protester, said a protester who wanted to be known only as Nathan.

"It was like a tug of war. The cops pulled the protester, and protesters grabbed him and wouldn't let go," said Nathan, a tall lanky 16-year-old Alaska native, who wore a bandanna that covered the lower half of his face.

A scuffle then broke out, and Williams rushed over and bent down over protesters in the street. Police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson said he didn't believe Williams was involved in the scuffle.

Within moments, Williams stepped back, with sweat covering his face. He looked as if he felt excruciating pain in his chest before he collapsed.
...
Paris Williams, 52, who worked in the Civil Affairs Unit, lay motionless on asphalt as cops bent over him on Arch Street and performed CPR, trying desperately to save his life. Those protesting the biotech industry convention held at the center bunched together outside and moved towards the fallen cop.

They pushed forward, forming a human barricade. Some cops swung their bikes at demonstrators to move them away from the fallen officer, hitting some people.

Did you catch that...a cop is dying, other cops try to move in to save his life and the mob is not cooperative. The cops try to clear a path and hit a few of the uncooperative mob members. And the story will be about the ones who were hit.

Ian Cox, 16, of Moorestown, N.J., said he was standing taking pictures. "One cop turned and just punched me in the gut," he said.

Gotta get the anti-police allegation into the story.

So, now these punks are uncooperative and they initiated the contact. What do they do now that someone died? "The protesters walked to the Convention Center steps on Arch facing a line of cops gripping nightsticks."

They shared a moment of silence and then what?

After the officer died, some protesters headed to LOVE Park at 16th and JFK, where they danced and pranced in the fountain, and skateboarders pounded their boards on the edge to the beat of the drums.

The skateboarders were protesting the city ordinance that bans them from skating in the park.

First, I know that some of the lefty readers were about to get into a fit for my labeling this clan as "protest everything" types.

Second, here is their mentality. Party & prance, protest and watch a police officer die (while they do nothing to help and even hinder life-saving efforts), and then go back and party and celebrate more. Nice compassion for human life. Though I'm willing to bet my house that most of that mob is pro-abortion and more than half were for killing Terri Schiavo...so human life and compassion I don't believe work into the same equation for this group.

Now to follow up on the Bias tag I put on this post. Doing a google news search there was only TWO national reports on this story. One by the LA Times (not on the front section) and one by CourtTV.com. The Guardian also picked up the story...they are in the UK. Now, remember the little girl in Florida who was cuffed by police? Brutality by the police and it was on national news for days. Here a cop is dead as a result of a scuffle and we cannot get the MSM to report.

Here is the MSM's mentality: Protesters are left-wing, if they are hurt the story must be run ad nauseum. Police often arrest protesters (for cause does not matter) so cops are the bad guys. If they get hurt the story might generate sympathy so the story cannot be run.
