Ferguson / Staten Island Decisions -- No Indictments

We are hurtling toward a really nasty moment in the form of dead cops. We can pretend that hammer killing wasn't related to the non-indictment but it was.

People with nothing to lose are going up the ante and kill some cops. You hope it doesn't happen but the rage will reach a boiling point soon.

 

Look, OOP's insistence on this issue annoys me, but he's a funny guy otherwise and I'm not going that far.

 

And now you're off into lying and trolling mode.

 

In 1991 I didn't feel like I knew anyone on the cops' side when the Rodney King video came out. I'm sure people were out there, but that was about as unanimous in public opinion as it can get.

I feel like if that happens today, the majority opinion would be "eh, large black man ... he MUST have done something to deserve it."

 

Yeah I think RickStain lost some support there.

 

You changed your story. You used to deny you posted it at all and now you are claiming it was a joke.

Mindless shark. Doesn't sound like something you say to somebody you like, but okay. It is a new one, so I give you credit for that. At least I understand what is really going on here now. I am sorry I hurt your feelings by bringing up a post that embarrasses you this much.

 

I denied ever doing what you accused me of doing. Because I didn't. I never denied making whatever joke that caused you to start the accusation.

And of course, you're repeating the accusation now. Where's your vaunted respect for standards of proof?

 

He did place hundreds, if not thousands of people's lives in danger by leading the police on an eight-mile chase while driving drunk, on dope and acid, and on probation for armed robbery.

The beating didn't knock some sense into him, as he was arrested multiple times for DUI and once for hitting his wife afterward.

 

OK so they pulled him over and then needed to beat and try to kill him for ... ?

I guess I didn't have to look too far to prove my point.

 

I do wonder if the permanent brain damage might possibly have played a role in King's later behavior.

But no bother. So far on that last page we had Baron justifying Eric Garner's death for "resisting arrest" and now the Rodney King beating.

Different times, I guess, and some people believe the police can unleash whatever hell excites them on anyone who is perceived to have broken any law whatsoever. A lot of people believe that, actually.
