Why Have So Many People Seen the Video of the Seattle Cop But So Few Have Seen the Video of the Congressman Assaulting a Student?

Asked by ItsAHabit (2302points) June 17th, 2010

It appears that few people have seen the video of Congressman Bob Etheridge assaulting a well dressed and consistently polite college student who asked him if he supported the Obama agenda. The student even continued calling the congressman “sir” as he was being assaulted!

However, the media have widely shown the video of the Seattle cop defending himself from two abusive people who were assaulting him while calling him a “Mother F..ker.”

Do you have any explanation for this apparent double-standard?
