When a reporter doesn’t back off after being assaulted verbally and with a water bottle and continues to hound her after she walks away, he’s was definitely sensationalizing (which is what i meant by glorifying) violence. The “call the police” wasn’t a “decision” as much as a surprised reaction as reporter found himself in over his head. The cameraman could have come to the reporter’s defense, but felt it was more important to record the violence.
Don’t worry, I won’t take down any Neighborhood watch signs… 🙂 but kids, if you see robber, dial 911 and leave the video camera in the closet.
