Officer is not guilty

[Dave Stalwart]

Well ... this is boring.

Whoa

[Dave Stalwart]

@Kung Wu:, this was a 4 week old thread that we bumped at exactly the same time.

[ShockTalk]

Well ... this is boring.

I hope things stay very boring.

[Kung Wu]

I hope things stay very boring.

That'd be nice for a change.

Unfortunately it looks like that didn't last.

Listen to Charles Payne. Brilliance.

Testimony? Facts? Pfft.. There's no room for that in this case!

Seriously, though.. I feel like the only way people wouldn't be rioting is if the officer ended up getting thrown in jail.

It drives me crazy how people talk about issues like this. If you don't 100% agree with the mob of outraged people, you're automatically a racist piece off ****. And, if you disagree and happen to be white, your opinion is automatically invalid, because you "don't know what it's like". Okay, they're right, I don't know what it's like, but being a dick, using emotional arguments, and telling me my opinion is automatically invalid is not the way to get me on their side.

Do you really think there would have been zero rioting last night if they had announced he was guilty? I'm not so sure I do.

Of course not. Heck I PERSONALLY would have crumpled up a piece of litter and SMASHED that styrofoam TRASH into the bottom of a trashcan! Yeah, I called you TRASH, litter -- whatya goin' do 'bout it? My trashcan doesn't know what it's got comin'.

There probably would have been celebration riots.
