“Some of these ideas are a little half-baked, ...”

I wonder if it’s the same guy with an outstanding warrant who’s looked like every Black man in America since 1955.

Because North Carolina is doing everything possible to further embarrass this country.

It is my understanding that they were in the area to execute a, warrant on someone else.

No it was because he was crazed on PCP, which we can clearly see by the way he walked slowly and calmly to his car with his hands raised.

I thought the same thing. And someone else pointed this out, but remember that cop in NYC that actually got in trouble for shooting someone in a stairwell? He was Asian. So, so far the only cops that have actually seen repercussions are an Asian man and a white woman.

Betty Shelby is nothing but a low-life thug. Look at her record! She smokes marijuana and has been cited for domestic violence. Was only a matter of time when something like this would happen. Get her off the streets!

This is like Liang. She’s a woman so she gets sacrificed.

Yes. How “strange” that a black man, when confronted by a cop, would put his hands in the air. It couldn’t possibly be that he wanted to preemptively signal that he was unarmed, given that so many other black person-cop interactions turn deadly without provocation.

The worst one I keep seeing is “You can’t believe everything protestors say” the implication being that their explanation of events is some how worse than the police’s, which is just fucking ridiculous when we’ve seen how often the police just blatantly lie and obfuscate.

This is what I keep saying. Cops lie all the time. Comments keep coming up like “well, if he was holding a gun?” OR “he was 13 he shouldn’t have held up a gun at the cops.” Do you know if that really happened. In my city a young man was shot multipe times by police and the public was told he was in a police chase and…

“The video doesn’t corroborate our story, but trust us, it’s our story that’s right and not the video. Because video, much like science and the female orgasm, is a just a bunch of lies.”

Someone - one of the press! Please do your jobs!! - should ask him whether he intends to handle “white-on-white crime” the same way.

Sometimes marriages are just done and it’s not a third party’s fault. Unpopular opinion, I realize.

The irony, of course, is that if Trump or any of his like-minded followers were also randomly stopped and frisked, they’d lose their goddamned minds. They’d be screaming about the Founding Fathers and the “police state” in no time.

My view is that most people are amoral, and are content to do whatever they feel serves their narrow self-interests.

Because the guy who just killed someone doesn’t have an obvious reason to lie?

Just like all those police that said Laquan McDonald rushed them?

Seriously, the impending Brad and Angie divorce was approximately 1/3 of their cover story content. Where are they going to go now that the well’s dry, imaginary Jen pregnancy stories are off the table and they’re already at peak Kardashian saturation?
