You are almost certainly correct about where he learned a racist stereotype. However, every racist white person learned their racism from a white person as well. Not holding someone responsible for their racism on the basis of where they learned it is both intellectually dishonest and excuses every person’s bad…

Is there a journalistic reason you didn’t quote this text from the alleged victim?

This case should be a mistrial. The latest text message shows that the plaintiff has withheld evidence, lied to the court and her account is flat out false. Here we have:

Not believing anyone is a reasonable take until you learn all the evidence. This is assuming you are supportive and not a dick to alleged victims until you have enough information to form an opinion.

Eric Trump also tweeted a photo of his father from last nights rally.

Ok, I get working to crop out the arena stuff, but did no one in the graphics dept or at the campaign notice the texas state flag? Or did they think it was some patriotic banner?

While they might have cropped out the rafters, he forgot the GIANT FUCKING TEXAS FLAG on the left.

Being white makes you an expert on everything. Being white is the fucking tits.

It’s being white that really makes her an expert on the lives of non-white people.

Trump now joins the ranks of the oblivious pundits who made a great show of mourning Muhammed Ali, “[a] truly great champion and a wonderful guy,” only to smear Kaepernick for the same kind of social conscience and civil disobedience that established Ali’s reputation well beyond the audience for boxing.

TRUMP: America is a hellhole. Currently one of the worst countries on Earth. Only I can make it great again.

If you’re a cranky old white man, you can say that we need to make America great again, because there are all these minorities and women asking for special (read: equal) treatment. Obviously America isn’t great for YOU. You used to be top dog, king shit, and you could get away with anything! Nowadays when you yell…

As a black man, that’s a pretty cool thing you just said. I think POC, in general, want justice but on a more personal level just want to live in a world where a white guy and a black guy can see the same dashcam footage and feel the same thing, that’s like the bare minimum...to know that this situation is supremely…

shooting to the knee cap isn’t a thing. period. There is nothing to debate about that. You draw a weapon to kill someone. Thats it.

Someone somewhere else on Gawker pointed out that you can test positive for PCP but not actually take PCP. There are other drugs - including cough syrup - that can result in you testing positive for PCP. Not saying this kid didn’t actually take PCP, but given how they’ve handled everything else with this case, I think…

“This comment is completely invalid because it was Burger King, not McDonalds. Get your facts straight, you libtard.” —Sarcasm, as if that wasn’t obvious.

And that dickbag cop made about $83K on the taxpayer dime while everybody did everything they could to 1) destroy evidence (yes, this happened — third-party security camera footage was tampered with by investigators in the hours following the incident) 2) explore every loophole they could before the damning video…

Because the police erased security camera footage of the execution from a nearby Burger King, and lied about nearly every aspect of the encounter?

He’s dead right. I know there will be a thousand comments on here relexively defending the police, but watch the goddamn video.

Because it took them 13 months to even bring charges, largely because the department was trying to bury the case, including trying to get this video sealed away from public view.
