Some had little sympathy.

Gasping! Remember, Reilly is the journo who tweeted that he believed ear plugs were rubber bullets. That is not a parody. It happened.
He’s still tweeting photos, though, even after that debacle.

@ryanjreilly are you trying to get on tv again?
— JohnAmato (@JohnAmato) August 18, 2014
Ding, ding, ding!
As Twitchy reported, Reilly also tweeted out a photo that included the license plate of someone who was supporting the police. Justice reporter?
You did that to intimidate a guy for supporting the cop … the cop who could have been justified for all you know. @ryanjreilly

Dude. Take the rubber bullets out of your ears and listen to me. Publishing that wasn't cool. @ryanjreilly

Reilly should be safe, though.
@BenHowe @WTF_Eh @ryanjreilly But his business card says he's a "Journalist". Maybe he shouldn't have used cartoon font?

Zing!
It’s all about him and all about the narrative he is seeking to push.

People we spoke with at pro-cop rally had the attitude that cops can do no wrong. http://t.co/kT3Gk0Irvd #Ferguson pic.twitter.com/lHY9lFMR8e

@redsteeze @ryanjreilly I've never seen someone so obvious at trying to push a narrative while pretending to do reporting.

Amen.

Funny that.
And what about this?
could we have a pic of his license plate to thank him? RT @ryanjreilly: Captain Dave Todd is his name. And he's great.

Just when you thought some members of the media couldn’t possibly sink any lower, “journalists” like Reilly and the dangerously inflammatory Chris Hayes come along to show that oh yes, they can.
