Front Page News: Training Officers to Shoot First

Ever wonder how exactly all the police in these shootings are getting off so easily? Look no further than Dr. William J. Lewinkski, the go-to expert favored by defense attorneys in police shooting cases. His testimony, which skillfully mixes analysis of his own research with dubious baseball analogies, has been able to convince many a jury, absolving a host of police officers charged with shooting unarmed men of any wrong-doing.

An example of his argumentation:
Quote:
A batter can't wait for a ball to cross home plate before deciding whether that's something to swing at,"
...

Would that convince you?

No but most people who sit on juries are the proverbial idiots that can't get out of jury duty.

Considering the average American is a moron, and that's putting it nicely, it doesn't surprise me it takes simple, completely irrelevant sports analogies to convince juries that have a collective IQ of 90 that baseball is the same as shooting someone dead
