    You think family of a murder victim will act with "reason"? Especially with that murder being broadcast on every news network 24/7 for a week? Put yourself in their shoes.

    Yes, he's a parody account.


    ooh, the guy on twitter? I don't know about him. The only way that he doesn't come off like a complete tool is if he is a parody account.

    It would be interesting to be in his brain to see what made think "oh hey, I know. I'll show up with protective gear on, and a big gun...and I'll do it at a protest that is about police abuse".

    There's an old saying, "know your audience", and he both knew his audience (other white nutbars) and didn't (non nutbar whites and non nutbar POC).

    the man has been campaigning 24/7 since the day he became president in Jan 2017. Can't expect him to stop now.

    You went the wrong way with that. What I was asking was if the cop or accused has a history of violence or anything, can the degree change. I was not speaking of whether the victim had a history. Its been noted( I didn't fact check) that this cop has had double digit complains of abuse of force and racial tendancies or something.

    Can that play a factor into the cops intent and this change the degree of the charge?

    I was not speaking about the victim or his prior history. A cop likely wont know prior history until after the incident has developed in an arrest like this anyhow.

    We need to be careful what we claim as racism. In this instance you are all mixed up, my friend. I agree, IF what you describe was what I was saying, then yes. But that isn't what I was saying at all. Please don't be so hasty.

    Some do act with reason. Some tend toward forgiveness. Some tend toward vengeance. Some tend toward opportunism. Every family is different. Every situation is different. I can't legitimately "put myself in their shoes" because each person's life experience and world view varies from another. I can only speak based on my own experience and world view.

    Based on my own experience and world view, it is foolhardy to demand something that is unlikely to occur.

    During the Mayors press conference, there were two people doing sign language.

    Anyone know what the reason for the 2nd guy was?

    A true man of the people would do it for the cause.

    You are just an opportunist.

    My only question is it a catch and release thing, or is it a take home and fry up on the skillet thing?

    I think we all realized that the Trump presidency would put us on the road to serfdom.
