She stole his phone. He tried to take it back. And...he gets arrested?

“Yes officer, when I took his property he tried to get it back and his fingernail touched my arm. Would I like to press charges? Does a pope shit in the woods? Does he like to get texts from other women? That’s worth ruining him for, write it up."

So disagreeing with your opinion of an article = he must be racist!!

Do we get to call all Muslims terrorists because of the acts of a portion of that following? Do we get to call all black people criminals because we saw video of some black people looting in Ferguson? Do we get to call all media liars because of Rolling Stones UVA story? Do we get to call all media hacks whenever they…

No, and I am absolutely correct.

This is a tragedy. Anytime something like this happens is a tragedy. It needs to stop, and Slager will, God willing, face justice for his crime.

my point is that the entire movement went from rightfully getting pissed and making noise when injustice clearly went down (Zimmerman, Garner, this) to the notion that every single time a POC gets shot it is because a cop broke the law. It's stupid emotionally charged bullshit.

Shhh-don't let facts get in the way of a good argument!

Agreed-this piece makes a lot of good points, but man the hyperbole is on full throttle here. Adding "White Hispanic" George Zimmerman is just the inflammatory icing on the cake.

Different story, same flaws as all the other "fuck cops" arguments. Nap time, friend. Upon awakening, focus on systems that permit police violence and how do change them instead of a broad narrative that focuses on how "police" are the problem.

Fucking yawn. If we are going to throw around blanket statements, I've got some of my own.

Hypocrites who constantly point the finger and judge people for generalizing Muslims and terrorism feel no problem calling police officers terrorists. How do you not see how absurd this is?

Stupidest thing I have read all day. Thanks.

I have really enjoyed getting my sports news here over the past couple of years. I have found most the stories witty and informative. However, I won't support a website that posts this type of garbage: "Police do lots of things; much and maybe most of it laudable. One thing they do consistently and consistently well…

What an unbelievably irresponsible piece of crap. While I hope the cop in this most recent incident gets exactly what he deserves, nobody knows is whether or not this was a case of stupidity or racism. How do you make that assumption?

this whole conversation would be a whole lot less loaded and stupid if people stopped acting like it was a crime every time cops shoot someone and start looking at things individually. some of these clearly are, some of them clearly are not, some are murky.

My town of Wilkes-Barre has had 7 shootings in the last week. All were minorities shooting other minorities except for one. 90% of the shootings over the last three years in our area are minority on minority. Its tragic when cops cross the line, but not all of them are killers or terrorists. People like the author and…

would it be that hard to find someone who can actually write to do these repetitive think pieces? Greg's writing makes me want to gouge my eyes out

Ask him how school is going.
How he likes it when Muslims line up Christians and shoot them because they are not Muslim.

Tell him to mind his own fucking business.

Fucking a. I came in wanting to say "Not for me". And its true. Every cop I've ever met, even when I fucked up as a teenager, was nice (or at least... respectfully assertive).
