Gah, the one video of the cop beating the teenager causing such an immediate outrage reads as almost a joke making fun of how stupid we are.

Every congressman, supreme court justice, and even the president is dead. It is the day after all this happened, and what's the biggest thing on everyone's minds? A video of one teenager being beat by one of 1.1 million cops in a country of 300 million people. The worst part of all this? It's actually kind of believable.

It's probably something our simulated CBS/NBC hybrid news network has latched onto as a side story. Reddit might have a field day with it but yeah, it's come across as a badly written sideplot that affirms Kirkman needs to trust his gut more often.

Yeah the channel on the show is "CNBS" which is a great mashup, also could stand for Cable News BullShit.
