To me the dude is simply saying, "people have different opinions and perceptions of things." Even though the events in question aren't based so much on opinion as much as fact, since we have video showing how uncooperative Blake was. But CNN wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't try to appeal to anger and emotion from tensions they helped create.
But somehow Cooper is so fucking braindead he can't work it out unless he's explicitly told. Either that or he wants an answer that's more quotable to run on the chyron.
He was hoping for a direct call to action or an emotional appeal to keep "fighting oppression."
 
Please remember, this rapist piece of shit has already raised two million dollars from idiots around the country.

This is one of the many problems with sensationalized entertainment for news. A father is dealing with something that is extremely rough to deal with, and then is put onto live TV to talk about it. The dude is still a person, and he needs to be treated as such. He’s clearly upset and I’m sure he loves his son. A parent doesn’t want to talk about the potential that their child did something wrong to lead to what happened, and I can’t say I blame him. I’ll probably be called a BLM-bootlicker by our newest resident troll, but you have to remember that these people are human, and have their own beliefs and lives. CNN is an absolutely garbage network for even trying this, but at least the airports are at lower capacity so they still won’t be getting views.

At least his son is still alive and has a chance to fix things. And you can't look at the list of everything that he did in this scenario and not feel angry if you have any integrity as a civilized person. If he goes full dindu, Jacob won't last another two years, because THEY WILL NEVER LEARN IF THEY DON'T REFLECT.

EDIT: Actually... I take it all back. I just learned the extent of the damage done to Jacob. He's essentially a helpless meatsack for the rest of his life. Paralyzed from the waist down, and most of his digestive system was so fucked up, lots of it had to be removed, so his only source of nutrition will likely be a fine paste that has to be injected into him. So it doesn't even matter whether he's alive or not. He'll likely off himself within a year.

One of the dangers of taking advantage of a grieving family you can't berate them cut away from them or belittle them.

Without that what does CNN have?

Never eat frozen brussel sprouts. Always get it fresh and boil to a crisp tenderness, anything over that is how you get that sulfur taste. It's actually kinda sweet when you do it right.

My mother used to cook it all the time when I was little and I never understood why people hated brussel sprouts and broccoli until I had broccoli from the school cafeteria.

I'm offended by your lack of offense. The name is bad enough. Nothing good comes from Brussels, and sprouts are something a rabbit eats. If we tolerate nazis like you here, I'm joining antifa.

Grief transcends politics. Nothing more to be said here. Let the man deal with it.
