our public safety and law enforcement system is designed to select and brutalize “bad people” (and tends to know ‘em when they see ‘em

That was an assumption I had made as well, although I made it from an earlier point in the encounter when Mulcahy showed up on scene and used his peak whititude to assume his special parking space needs were enough to warrant screaming at the cops in the first place, and how the cops didn’t respond by threatening to mu…

This is Amesbury, MA we’re talking about. Not NYC or Boston. The cops telling the guy, “Dude, we’re almost done, chill.” should have covered this entire saga. No, the dude comes back to continue to yell at the police, who were there for a legitimate reason and they asked him to chill again.

I assume he’s white, because otherwise he probably would have had his head truncheoned-in.

Everyone in the story is a dickhead. That is true.

Everyone in the story is a dickhead.  That is true.  

Yep. Everyone in this story is a raging dipshit.

I-ANAL (hyphenation intended) but at some point one may have crossed the line from yelling to harassment.

The cops arresting a guy for being angry at them for blocking a parking space: assholes.

Trying to walk away after they’re already trying to arrest you isn’t good either. They may be wrong, but you argue that in the courtroom and not on the street. 

It’s part of their training. If they can’t earn respect, they take it.

This was more than just yelling at them to move their cars. He did that first and then allegedly kept going and escalating it. If he had just yelled for them to move their cars and they arrested him it would be bogus but from the report there is more to it and not just a case of hurt police feelings.

Do you ever take a moment to stop and ask why? Should he not be concerned with how his investments would be affected if they were to do this? I’ll admit he’s a bit prideful here, but take a second to think about why someone in his position would say this. And I’m sure he’s donated mor than you and I combined so he…

1.75 acres is 76,230 square feet. That is much larger than an average family home. A house that was 76K sq ft would be the 11th largest house ever built in the US.

As usual The Root has gone the way of Fox News for clicks and likes. Here is the actual story: The press trying to frame this is David Chapelle killing affordable housing for poor people. It’s not that simple. They offered a plan to get his $65 million investment, then switched up the project presumably to get tax…

Had he been wearing a properly-fitted bra, those moobs would have stayed under control. Once those oscillations began, it was game over.

Well tries to cower.  It looks like every single motion of his body is entirely involuntary after the first shot.  Like the noise and the recoil just caused his body to spasm uncontrollably.  So, yes - just the kind of person we can rely on to be the ‘good guy with a gun’, when shit starts to go down.

I was thinking my grandma could control a gun better than this guy.

He looked like a total badass. The control of his weapon points to adequate training. Glad he’s armed and spraying our highways for justice.
