Time Magazine’s featured picture of the weekend from the continued Ferguson unrest was of a protestor calling for the indictment of Officer Darren Wilson, another example of a media outlet deliberately amplifying the pressure to indict the officer regardless of how the facts of the case play out.
Here’s the text Time included under the image, which highlights the "racially charged" nature of the shootings and the peaceful actions of protestors, and does not mention the riots and violence surrounding the situations:
Hundreds of protesters took to the streets in and around St. Louis over the weekend, calling for justice after two racially charged police shootings since August.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that several days of demonstrations called “Ferguson October,” which marked just over two months since unarmed black teenager Michael Brown was shot and killed by a white police officer, gave way to a sit-in at St. Louis University during a rally for Vonderrit Myers Jr., another black teenager who was fatally shot on Oct. 8. Police say Myers fired at them first, but his family insists he was unarmed. Additional acts of civil disobedience are planned beginning on Monday.
The LA Times published a more lengthy piece two weeks ago warning that the “worst is yet to come” if the people don’t get the indictment they want.
