Until we find out no one was shooting at them. Also cops don’t have some kind of duty or obligation to return fire. Someone shoots at you the correct response is you take cover and evaluate the situation. If the situation is that there’s a bunch of children in the way, which is likely since you know this is a…

ok, so someone in a crowd starts shooting at cops, but is unidentified. the cops pull out their guns and *START SHOOTING* in response... Without a target? without knowing where they are aiming? And oopsies, kill a little girl?

How is this any different than an active shooter situation? I mean, aside from the fact that…

I’ve heard the professional juror argument one too many times. Those 12 people off of the street are what we call “a jury of peers” and while imperfect, in cases like this we see that the prosecutor is alleged to successfully banned blacks as well as misconduct, which would be easier to get away with if we had…

Double jeopardy obviously means nothing.

Theoretically we have a thing called ‘double jeopardy’ in our Constitution. THEORETICALLY.

It's truly not that hard.  America held onto slavery longer than others countries... and MAGA people love the concept of superiority.

It is not weakness to note how messed up it is that slimy trolls regurgitate their self loathing and personal misery all up on her timelines because they peaked in middle school. Sister Sloane will be alright because she is made of star stuff. As a Black woman, she already knows that “the hits” just keep on coming.

Speak for yourself, I always prefer to have a Renaissance artist with me to capture important images!

When people can't find anything else to criticize... they will ALWAYS critique your hair, feet or clothes.

Justice to them is JUST filling up the jails with black bodies.

By the same prosecutor. I would think once you have to redo a trial do to prosecutorial misconduct, maybe at least have someone that didn't fuck up handle the retrial.

Keep doing you, you. I like reading your stories.

People still routinely say “we’ve got ‘em on tape/film” even though recording devices are digital these days.

I’m glad this story was published on The Root. I see The Root still showing on news aggregates such as Google News and others, so being here helps give this story more cover through secondary means.

Good. Now if only the judges were held accountable 

Six times? What the actual fuck is wrong with this world. 

I like the exterior color a lot, but the peanut butter interior just blows. I hated my old Iroc-Z Camaro’s “camel” interior (Too good a deal to pass up on it), but this is 10x worse. Just make it black/dark grey for me.

B/c wrong & right mean nothing in a world fueled by cash & power.

Dude the Bush’s VP shot someone and the guy he shot APOLOGIZED.
