*when the media started paying attention to epidemic of police violence,

That was one of the big problems with this piece. This guy, who probably pitched this piece because he wanted to re-use the reporting/sources he had from Holtzclaw’s college football career, thought he was doing something in the vein of “Serial” or “Making A Murderer.” But he never actually investigated the case or…

Count the motherfucking clauses in that sentence. Forget the horrifying shit show that was the topic, any editor who let that damn clusterfuck out the door should be fired on the spot for that alone.

I was reading it, thinking “so ok when are they going to say anything at all other than just that everyone who knew Holtzclaw seven years ago thinks he couldn’t have done this.” The last sentence was like the writer thought to himself, “wait oops I can’t sound too much like I’m supporting this guy, throw in a sentence…

All true.

Fun fact: If you spend money like a crazy person you’ll go broke. Even if you’re a successful recording artist.

Don’t worry. I’m sure President Beef Supreme will pardon him once he hears that impassioned explanation of how radical the police chase was and all the great reasons he had for evading authority.

Having Timmy on the ticket could shore up Popovich’s campaign with the big fundamentalist voting bloc.

GO ON.....

Well, we already know he’s drinking piss.

Something that bothers me about all of the coverage of Daniel Holtzclaw is that I haven’t seen and heard enough about the gorgeous human being who brought him to justice: Jannie Ligons. I’ve endured every angle of Holtzclaw’s rage-y, deflated mug, and haven’t heard enough about the first police complaint, the first…

That they still obviously consider him to be “their own” speaks fucking volumes.

I just want to know what the hell is going on and make sure they’re not trying to give him special treatment because he was in law enforcement.

“We threw him down a hole and threw away the hole.”

I am so wary of police policing police that this feels very troubling to me. I don't want to go full paranoid, but it seems fishy

Please please only use the photo of him crying like the asshole coward rapist he is when posting about him.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Jesus Christ, the number of outraged white boys in this thread is fucking astronomical. But I’m absolutely sure if this was a man of color or any color of woman, they’d be doing the same thing. Really.

We don’t know anything until we actually know more so when dealing with the tip of the iceberg we should treat others how we would like to be treated ourselves, which to me is the basis of left wing views.

I didn’t know Deadspin was a court of law.

not in the court of public opinion, which is really all we’re dealing with in the forum. But thanks, Lionel Hutz
