It is an interesting dynamic. Why did the Baton Rouge police release a photo of the gun? Why were the Dallas Police silent? Why does conservative Fox News broadcast the photo as it were somehow the target of its viewers scorn (when obviously that is not true and when that station panders to the NRA who is one of its advertisers)?

Up is down. Down it up.
