I’m a cop. If you don’t want to get hurt, don’t challenge me.

I never realized I created a monster. If I had used Kentucky Fried Chicken... oh, excuse me, KFC... for my example, said monster never would have been created.

 

Oh, I think that saying that black people could lift themselves out of poverty by opening KFC franchises would have created an altogether new monster!

 

Is this a DB?

So they break the glass to get him out, and then:

"As he’s trying to take my seatbelt off, he’s elbowing me in my jaw. And I’m like ‘Ahhh!’ and he’s like ‘Stop trying to take my gun! Stop resisting arrest!’”

Hmmm. That sounds a little bit familiar to something. I feel like I've heard that "going for the gun" story somewhere recently.

 

How did I miss this:

 

Rush Limbaugh mentioned at the end of his show that there was a report that Michael Brown may have had a juvenile arrest record.

In looking for what he was referring to, I see the (far) right-wing blogosphere is abuzz over a report from a citizen journalist that Brown had some involvement in a 2md degree murder.

Now, I have no idea if this is true.

The mainstream media had confirmation from his family that he had no juvenile arrest record, and was not a gang member.

I could even see how a minor arrest as a juvenile could have fallen below the media radar.

Bu, holy crap, if he was involved in a murder, and it went unreported, that would be insane. That's the kind of thing people would know about, even if they didn't have his juvenile court records.

This can't be true, right?

 

Boy, you seem to be pretty convinced that a murder happened involving Brown, especially for someone who knows how "fractured eye socket" panned out.

 

Not at all.

As narrative driven as the media is, I can't believe they would overlook his involvement in a murder. I think it has to be false. I think most folks are staying away from the story because it has to be false.

I don't think the family was a great source for establishing that he had no juvenile record, or gang involvement, but I can't imagine anyone would think his involvement in a murder wouldn't be discovered if true.

It has to be false.

As for the eyes socket thing, I think someone probably did exaggerate a bit.

But, the push back against that story appears to be that the eye injury he did suffer was not a fracture.

Is that something that helps the people who are convinced that brown was executed? That the injury he inflicted on the cop prior to his death was not a fracture?

I'm curious to see pictures of his face in the aftermath, and to see the medical report/hear from medical personnel.

Certainly not as big of a difference between those two results as, say, the difference between iced tea and watermelon juice.

 

You trying to pick up where Cranky Kaplan left off? That was part of his twitter schtick.

 

I don't like media mistakes, period.

They were quick to make sure folks did not get attached to this "fact" though, as it hurt the narrative they were peddling.
