The Young Turks: August 11, 2014

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. NASCAR driver Tony Stewart hit and killed a fellow driver at a small time dirt race track. Discussion over whether or not Stewart was at fault for the accident. TYT Sports’ Jason Rubin pointed out that Tony Stewart has a history of getting into battles with other drivers, once claiming that he will hit another driver. USC researchers conducted a study on racial disparities in the top grossing films and found that although Latina women are in a smaller percentage of the actors, 38% of them appeared naked on camera. A publishing company is creating a book that is compiled completely of Kim Kardashian’s selfies. A blogger attended a sex workshop that does group masturbation and spoke about her experience at the workshop where the 85 year old instructor went to work on her.

Cenk hosting today. It has been reported that Chuck Todd will be replacing David Gregory on Meet the Press. Cenk remembers his prediction that David Gregory would be out at MTP. The Ukrainian government is making advances against the pro-Russian government in the eastern part of the country. Due to these developments, it is possible that Russia will launch a war against Ukraine. Sarah Palin’s video posted to her pay-for-play channel was a response to Elizabeth Warren. Her rebuttal to min wage increases for fast food workers was incoherent. The Koch Brothers made a push to appeal to Latino citizens with care packages filled with pamphlets of policy suggestions that were framed as helpful, but actually would hurt their interests. 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.
