Look you obtuse MF... You are not convincing anyone. His official cause of death (on his death certificate) is Homicide. And I quote the NYT 5/15/19:

And you aren’t medically trained either. But someone who is (the medical examiner states his death was caused by the choke hold - or are you going to say you know more than the ME.. You probably will but us people who go by facts don’t give a shit what YOU think)...

He couldn’t breathe because some asshole had him in an illegal chokehold...

Everyone who saw the ALL the evidence agrees with me: The judge, the police chief and the mayor. Get over your racism- the asshole killed a man with an illegal choke. He should be in jail - firing is a gift. You are not going to win this argument with me - you can source information from now to when you choke on you…

Are you saying white cops can’t use common sense and deescalate minor situations? I think you are and that can be construed as racist... Most decent human beings can agree that a person selling loosies shouldn’t be choked to death.. Since you can’t, well you know what I’m saying...

I am reading the twitter responses from the gay men above. I am not gay so I have never been made to feel uncomfortable for my sexuality so I listen to understand. I’m not trying to be obtuse but I don’t think they were gaslighting or bullying him. I thought they were questioning so that he would be clearer about what…

I am hope a “woke” brother gets to “choke” you and maintain the choke until you die while you scream out you can’t breathe and when he goes to trial, he gets off scott free because you didn’t comply with the human rule of having decency.

But you know what you can choke on.. Think about it, it will come to you

The numbers are true - I provided the sources for you (by the way, they are not wikipedia). Have a nice day.

If you read my response, you will see that domestic abuse is tragic but not the killer of black women as this story implies. Also,over 80% of the domestic abuse killings in the country were committed by a partner of their “own” race; meaning this violence isn’t unique to black man so all the black man bashing isn’t…

Any murder by any means is a tragedy. However, it appears to me your data does not give us a true picture of the issue.

Uhmmm... Panama just proved he is a “yungen”.. Uptown Saturday Night and its sequel “Let’s Do It Again” are the two funniest, blackest movies of all time... Coming to America is third....

Says You - I say he did....

This should end De Blasio’s run for the Presidency just like the mishandling of the police situation in South Bend should (should’ve) end (ed) Pete Buttigieg’s run.. The busing handling in the 70s and the crime bill in the 90s should’ve effectively ended Biden’s run.. Black people - Maya Angelou gave us a guide on how…

I am baffled as to the guard’s thinking process. The IRS office doesn’t have money so the sheriff couldn’t have been robbing the place. He couldn’t have been a terrorist as the sheriff decided to leave when he informed them he couldn’t leave his weapon in the car. As he was entering the elevator, the guard attempted…

I suggested her because of the article.. not because she is trans or speaks for trans persons... The Root could be used as an open forum and Anne as a moderator if she chooses to do so.. I’m open to ideas but it appears to me this discussion should happen and soon...

Anne - As a suggestion, a discussion on when its appropriate for a trans person to disclose to a potential suitor their “status” would be illuminating... many of the comments seem to suggest a suitor feels “tricked”; thus their anger then violence..

It appears a Michael Hodge runs track (and field) for Covington Catholic High School

You are distorting (lying) about that case.

I’ll pass on the Marc Lamont Hill’s joint.. His criticisms of Francis Cress Welsing and article about Malcolm X’s sexuality turned me off to him...
