CBSNews: A Dead Homeless Man is a “Street Creature”
July 9, 2011 at 7:59 PM 4 comments
In an apparent effort to reinforce the fascist state, Tom Mustin of CBS4Denver reported this evening about a protest today in Denver calling attention to the one-year-anniversary of the death of a homeless African-American man who died under extraordinarily suspicious circumstances while in custody of the Denver Police Department.
Insofar as the establishment tries to make the police/state look like they’re in the right, and lowly citizen are in the wrong, Mustin referred to the dead man as a “street creature.”
A “street creature?”
What with more and more of us suffering in this financial crisis, how long will it be before we become ostracised, faceless “street creatures?”
When a “news” organization is this cold when referring to a segment of our population, we’re in deep trouble.
Oh, and I say this having spent 8 hours in the last two days at a food bank, handing out food to mothers and fathers and kids. I.e., “street creatures.”

Actually we referred to Mr. Booker as a “street preacher.” That’s how his family described him.

Actually I referred to Mr. Booker as a “street preacher.” That’s how his family asked us to identify him.
Sincerely,

So given that you’ve completely misquoted my brother – nearly to the point of libel – and have incorrectly defamed the organization for which he works, are you going to either correct or remove your blog post?
You have the opportunity to do the right thing.
I’d appreciate both an acknowledgement and a response to this comment.

Seems to me Mr. Mustin stood up for himself and corrected the information, as you can see by the two comments he made last September (above.)
