The Young Turks - 08.11.14: War Hungry Conservatives, Robin Williams RIP & Teen Killed By Police

Cenk hosting today. Steven Seagal performed in Crimea with his Blues band as he is a great friend of Putin. The divisive president of Iraq has exacerbated the divisions of the country, so a man named Al-Abadi is being propped up to take his place by the American government due to his Western grooming and schooling. Hillary Clinton weighed in on the attack on ISIS and criticized Obama’s handling of the situation. Now that President Obama has launched attacks on ISIS in Iraq, he’s catching criticism from multiple Conservatives like McCain, Graham, and Peter King as well, claiming that he’s approaching the situation with pure weakness, which will lead to American cities being attacked by ISIS. Laura Ingraham pointed out that Iraq is worse than it was before we went in.Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Actor Robin Williams has been found dead at his home of an apparent suicide. Ferguson Missouri police shot and killed an 18 year old kid in the middle of the street, shooting him many times after he raised his hand into the air. Different accounts from citizens and police. Cenk and Ana break down the holes in the cops’ story. St. Louis police have a history of needlessly harassing Black residents more than other groups. After the shooting, peaceful protests expanded into riots as nightfall approached. Some news outlets posted a picture of the murdered teenager that portrayed him more as a dangerous looking guy when there were clean cut, graduations pictures to use. This prompted the hashtag #IfTheyGunnedMeDown that compares two opposite pictures of the person that shows them as a clean cut citizen vs a dangerous one.
