Now He's Insulting Cop Killers

Don Cherry is at it again. And this time he's gone too far. On Wednesday, Cherry called a cop killer 'a little creep' causing outrage and concern among CBCs executives. To clarify the situation for the huddled masses the CBC released the following statement:

This senseless tragedy has been a source of profound sadness for us all, and Don Cherry was very passionate about this in his segment on last night's Coach's Corner. Given the passion of the statements made last night, we want to confirm to our audience our shared belief in the presumption of 'innocence until proven guilty.'

Thanks for clearing that up for us. From Don's comments I thought the 'innocent until proven guilty 'thingy ma jib' had been tossed out the window. Thank heavens that's been cleared up.

I'ld also like to know where the CBC got the idea that it was necessary that they remind us that they still believe in a fair trial? And what's with the scare quotes around the 'innocence until proven guilty'? Was that in the original statement or was it added later?

Idiots!
