Holding Conflicting Viewpoints ©2015 Joan M. Newcomb
Recently I read an account discussing the issues of #blacklivesmatter. Specifically, Michael Brown's killing in Ferguson, MO and Eric Garner in Staten Island, NY, both by police. It was by someone trying to remain neutral. The author was a conservative trying to have a balanced viewpoint but ended up lessening the accusations of police brutality by glossing over facts in both cases, wanting to typify them as resisting arrest (which actually neither were).
