    That LT Gov is Republican and whacky. Also claimed that Gov conspired with Feds to keep NTL guards away on first

    Wow, that's awful.

    "Media, everything you reported early that I disagreed with turned out to be wrong because I say so."

    There's a bit of useful advice buried under all that smarmy "see, I *told* you it was complicated, and by complicated I mean all the black people are lying and there's controversy therefore both sides are equally correct but really I mean my side is correct."

    I love how he manages to make the prosecutor pretending to be a defense attorney to be some sort of selfless act by which he was trying to appease the evil public.

    The only reason the term "institutional racism" exists is because the race hustlers can't prove racism often enough so the throw "institutional" in front of it under the false belief that it means they don't have to prove their claims.

    He's coming right at us! And his hand is in his waistband! He looks like a demon and he's grunting to hulk up and charge through a hail of bullets!

    “Before I could even get out of my car he jumped out, stared at me, and as I jumped out of my car and identified myself, as I approached him, he jumped head-first back into his car … he jumped out of the car. I saw something black in his hands.”

    That isn't Darren Wilson. That's Sean Groubert, a South Carolina police officer.

    Trouble for him, though: The dashboard camera shows him shooting an unarmed man who is not jumping and did not have anything black in his hands. The officer is now facing 20 years in prison.

    Without that camera, does anybody think there is a chance of discipline against this officer?

    It's just a coincidence that Wilson's story perfectly mirrors pretty much every white on black cop shooting, many of which have been debunked by video when available.

    That's what happens when you train every day, say your prayers and eat your vitamins.

    The officer in South Carolina lied, so Wilson must have done the same? That is your argument?

    Somebody else did the wrong thing, so this person must have done the same wrong thing. You do love that argument.

    Pointing out that the great majority of crime against blacks is committed by blacks is racist. But blaming all cops for the actions of 0.5% of cops is considered "deep thinking."

    It's like some kind of Russian dolls of strawman.
