The number of commenters who think a black kid should be summarily shot for doing something illegal is really astonishing. (this of course grants all of their assumptions).

Of course he was involved in a second-degree murder case: the one he got murdered in.

There was this one random guy on the internet who decided that he had a juvi record including second degree murder that was sealed away. Except, you know, he didn't. They proved that.

"He was involved in a second-degree murder!" ...no? No. I'm gonna go with "no."

they are spouting nonsense I have never even heard before. "He was in a gang! He had a long rap sheet! He was involved in a second degree murder case"

Holy hell, look at these fucking replies to you. The racists are out in force tonight.

Well they couldn't shoot them through the TV so they had to go with Plan B

And then he lied about the actions of his superior, saying the guy yelled at him and threatened him. Turned out had a recording proving he was lying. That's when he was finally fired. Then became police chief of a neighboring town.

So viewed, the record reveals that in July 1997, Roorda attempted to try to "cover" for another police officer by filing a report that contained false statements as to what happened during a suspect's apprehension and arrest.   As a result of this false report, all charges against the defendant involved were dropped,…

"it is not the violent thugs burning down buildings that buy their advertiser's products"

you know what I find offensive? 18 year olds getting shot and prosecutors intentionally throwing the case

How awesome would it have been if he just kept running? Off the field, out of the stadium...into our hearts?

This woman needs to lose custody of her minor children. No joke, no exaggeration.

So this incident happened to me when I was an undergrad. Let me preface this by saying that I am adamantly a skeptic. I do not believe that there is an afterlife; I do not believe in ghosts; I do not believe in premonition. Period. I think simple brain chemistry explains 75% of hauntings.

I truly don't know why I subject myself to this thread every year.

I forgot I drank all of the wine. When I got home and trader joe's was closed. The horror. The horror.

Michelle Beadle has nothing to do with anything, dummy. I mean yeah, I guess she shouldn't be nice to Floyd, but that's completely, totally irrelevant to whether Stephen A is a victim-blaming dipshit.

I love that he wastes so much time with tough-guy posturing, too. He makes sure we know he'll kick an ass if it touches one of his female possessions, though said possession could save him the trouble by rethinking her tone before it gets that far.

Except none of what you said is actually true in the slightest. The issue isn't unions, in general, it's how some unions, AFM included, are conducting themselves against the wishes of and to the detriment of a broad majority of their members.
