COOPER V. CAM

I like Cam as much as the next guy...and mistrust of law enforcement and the criminal justice system isn't a mystery...but man...

"If I knew a serial killer was living door to me...I wouldn't call and tell anybody. I'd probably move."

"We don't make guns. Smith and Wesson makes guns. White people make guns and bullets."

Really Killa? Some guy lives next door to you and he's dismembering bodies in the bathtub and your first move is to call Belkins?

That said, if you want to talk about "kneejerk scapegoating," 60 Minutes is looking suspect right here, especially in paying the thinnest of lip service to the troubled, oppressive relationship between law enforcement and urban communities of color. Weird that they tried to get around this by blaming corporate America instead. Of course, I can't condone "stop snitchin'" as street law but this piece hardly makes the case it seeks out to. Anderson Cooper, however, has straight mastered the "I'm looking very, very, very serious" look.
