On another thread we were discussing publication bans.

What about the media self-imposed ones, I wonder?



Luckily this isn't the BBC so we don't have to pretend the bearded African American, in the Muslim styled tunic, wearing a cap is what they call an "Asian". :wink: :lol:

$1:
It is not known what caused the attack, though Logan, 68, did suffer from paranoia according to medical workers.
Making the entire incident even more bizarre, police were unable to subdue Logan when they located him three blocks away, and, according to KARE, three officers were needed to take him down after the probes of their Taser failed to attach and take him down.
Then, when they finally managed to get handcuffs on him, he suddenly died.

'Those familiar with Mr. Logan described a very recent change in which he became confused and periodically delusional,' said the police department in a release.
'Nothing in Mr. Logan's past or more recent history indicates a tendency toward violence.'

It is uncertain what exactly happened, but according to The Star Tribune, 'there was a difference of opinion between Logan and his wife and daughter about his treatment — so much so that Perry sought an emergency order from a Ramsey County judge to protect his client.'
Logan told Perry at the hospital that he wanted to sell his house and give half of the money to his grandchildren, which he believes indicated that he wanted a separation from his wife.

Officers were called roughly five hours later, shortly before 2 am when there was a report a man with episodes of confusion had suddenly attacked the nurses at the hospital.

Yep, media blackout on mentally ill, I suppose. Although there seems to be all kinds of media reporting it. And patients attacking nurses is a daily occurrence.

Pixilating video of beards and skull caps seems to be becoming a daily occurrence too.

Also ignorance of the obvious.
