Well, it must be me, then. It has to be me who's out of step here.

It seems like all the damn media, all the damn commentators, are piling in onto her. Afaict they are being obscenely selective & one-eyed here. Why can i see it but they not?
They're blackguarding her, talking her down, opining their pompous criticisms, based on what they saw of the cops' video. The video that shows nothing of what happened in the taxi. The video that shows nothing of any interview of the cabbie. The video that the cops only began recording inside the copshop, after Sam had been letting rip, but which missed everything outside from the arrival of the taxi there.
In other words, they're reacting to the visual prurience, & wilfully ignoring everything that lead up to it. They're ignoring the possible racism of the cabbie. They're ignoring the kidnap fear. Ignoring the cops goading her, their belittling dismissing or mocking her statements, ignoring that the cops clearly refused to listen to Sam & Kristie who five times told them it was K who kicked out the window & why, but they charged S anyway.
In other words, they're ignoring everything that lead to Sam's fear, then anger, & focussing only on her behaviour once angry.
Fuck you, MSM, you're a bunch of turds for such irresponsibility 🖕

There seems to be no bothsidesing at all. It is a condemnation of a woman. Double standard reinforced.
Male athlete gets drunk and upset, swears and thows up? A bit of a larrikan, eh?
Even when male athete is drug driving and crashes into a car, injuring the passengers. 🦗 🦗🤫
This member of the public will not condemn Sam. However, this member of the public WILL condemn the males of the species, and every damn crumbmaiden who sucks up to them.😡
