I read about it when it occurred. There's almost no way some juries would ever convict a cop. This, along with the murder of Philando Castile, is one of the worst examples of why those players are taking a knee. NWA had it right.
Have you heard about the cop who was murdered in Baltimore about three weeks ago? He was murdered with his own gun. It turns out that the next day, he was set to testify against some dirty cops and he was shot when his partner allegedly left him to check something out. By the way, there were no cameras within 5 blocks, so there's almost no chance his killer will be caught. If you didn't hear about it, it is probably because Baltimore PD released the info late on the day before Thanksgiving, when few people were paying attention. Network news clearly doesn't care, either.
We're setting a new record for police shootings in 2017. Curiously, the number of cops being killed is decreasing, so if policing is safer than ever, what are they so "afraid of"? One of the most distressing things about the Age of the Moron is how far civil rights are being eroded. Votes matter.
Yes I did hear about the Baltimore cop. He had 5 kids. When he was killed the day before he was to testify, no one could tell where his partner was and the Police Chief of Baltimore and everyone else connected all of sudden became "dumb".Quote:

The Walter Scott case outcome is being reported as a "historic event". I wonder if now people understand why Colin Kaepernick and others are protesting.
Yeah, this shooting happened right in my backyard, so to speak. Police have little or absolutely no training in mental health, and it was obvious the man was under distress. Why in the hell did they have a cop with a gun on him? Why didn't they call up a mental health expert? Oh, wait, cops don't have time for that. So now, a family is without their father and husband, and the cop got off.
No, they don't. Their champion in the White House and morons on Fox news have framed the argument so it's about disrespecting the country. And, it's down racial lines. Never mind that the man in Mesa, Arizona was white.Quote:

Not "order" as in "law and order", but order as in keep people in their places. And specifically, people of color. They'll gladly accept a BS verdict over the execution of Daniel Shaver if it means that the Philando Castilles, Eric Garners, Alton Sterlings of the world will be cautionary tales to Black people to stay in their own lanes.Quote:

Kaep never suggested that America is not great, only that it needs to be great and fair for all. Trump is the one telling people this country is not great and that it's too fair for Black folks.
