Off "The Mark"

The journal "The Mark" www.themarknews.com/articles/537-final-arbiter has repeatedly deleted the link to the youtube video clip as well as my comments from an article by Neil Boyd. Please take a moment to post a comment there mentioning the youtube link, or send a letter to Neil Boyd informing him of your feelings of this kind of censorship. My posted comment follows:
"I posted the youtube surveillance footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFISP_PrhFo I did this in the absence of appropriate conduct by the media. They took 16 crucial seconds of a surveillance tape and cut it up out of sequence to fit a misleading statement of events issued by the police the morning after. It is notable that the uniformed officer issuing the inaccurate statement stood behind Mr. Bryant (the accused). When have you EVER seen a police officer make a photo-op like that, in support of a man accused in a death? That inaccurate account was published widely without investigation in both fact and opinion articles. The issue is not with the judiciary, but with the prosecution. For many, the charges seem very weak given Bryant's actions on video. Weak enough that given this man's past position "the rule of law" is brought into disrepute. That is a judgement made by the people in the absence of appropriate authority."
