Obviously you didn't watch Meagan. I watched MSNBC and that 4 eyed loser and he may as well had his nose up people's asses

Again, can you refute anything I have just said?

Good point, that too.


Could've tased him?



Could determine a Civil case.



Either way. The Police response has warranted reform. That battle is over. We need transparency. Not because of this isolated incident but because some Police are corrupt. We should trust our Police, not feel like they are corrupt.


Where there's smoke there's fire.


You can be a thug and wear a badge too.

They seemed to mostly talk about ISIS today (as did MSNBC) whereas CNN seems to be laser focused on this event and in the face of having no actual facts, they have decided multiple and often unsubstantiated opinions would be 'good enough'. Really, out of the cable news channels, CNN is really the worst on this issue with respect to impartiality.

Yea but if that was the case you'd assume he'd be shot at least once already. If he wasn't shot its unlikely he'd stop and pause that long and then charge at the officer.


And none of the witnesses that have came forward have said that. So your creating that narrative without any evidence.

I don't watch CNN but I agree they focus on a news item and don't let it go.

Gtownoe, you have been convinced that the "gentle boy" did no wrong since day ONE.

If whites behaved like blacks, they would riot after every instance of the knockout game.

But they don't behave that way.

Your hypothesis is just wrong.

Or that both pause and mb charges the cop? That would be one explanation.

Honestly, we have no evidence. We have hear say info. An investigation needs to be done before we can form an educated opinion
