If you live in the United States, you should be disgusted with your country

No, no, no, no, no

That was their job, RMB
That. Was. Their. Job.

There's no appeal to emotions here. Objectively speaking. As someone who knows how grand juries are supposed to work.
THEIR JOB WAS TO GRILL HIM. Their job was to establish a probability that the defendant committed the crime so the case would go to trial.

That was their job.
That was their job.

That was their job.
And to dismiss that as an 'appeal to emotion' shows you really just don't understand THAT WAS THEIR JOB.

Me, McTahr and Shiney are trying to "keep peace".

You're just throwing shit around.

Yeah. The whole softball case against Wilson is just more indication of how systemic the whole thing is. It's kind of central to the entire issue.

Like, apparently, rather than present the evidence that would specifically seek out an indictment in the time-honored strategy of actually trying to do their job, the prosecutor went with the never-at-all-honored strategy of "fuck it everything," thus painting a nice clusterfuck for the jury rather than anything particularly coherent.

I agree though, that it's distracting to talk about the robbery. He guilt, if he is guilty, doesn't justify his murder. It's not about the robbery. But it would be good to have the facts straight.

The following statement is true:

Dorian Johnson was arrested by Ferguson PD, after the Brown Murder.
Dorian Johnson, a key witness, altered his story after being released from holding by Ferguson PD.

And a fine job you've done so far. Only to be nagged and called 'limp-dicked'*.

Snake? I never said that was appeal to emotion. I said it happened and you can't change it. The rest is anger which isn't making your case any better, just as the protest and burning down half the town isn't helping the citizens of Ferguson make theirs either. Protest is fine and all until people start getting horribly violent and start risking the lives of those who are not.

*Which is a slur on men, which equates to 'being a pussy'. Good job on being counterproductive to social justice, Kim. Way to promote equality.

I just saw this. Racist talking points? Where?

I think I'll leave this thread. Nobody likes my opinion anyway. Calling racism is just another stupid tactic, when race was never mentioned in any of my posts, to shut others out.

I'm sorry anyone thinks this case has anything to do with racism and is systemic, a word that's turned into a buzzword for the sjw community to throw around as they please..

Though you guys are acting out on emotion. Appeal to emotion does diddly shit to convince me of anything and I prefer facts over sensationalism.

Ok, sure

I'm done.
Done with the universe and everything.

Two different things brought up in two different posts. You post something factual, then scream out in anger. It's like a pattern. It doesn't even need to be the quoted transcript. The fact you're a lawyer, check. Don't really care. The fact they should have asked more questions, check. Yeah, got that, but that isn't what happened. Then after that, rant rant rant and it keeps going. The person with the biggest longest post isn't the victor, Snake.

But as I said before. I'll leave the rest to the peacekeepers being shat on and the assgrabbing.

[McTahr]

I'm only going to hit the one post because I'm genuinely just about done with this and have places to be. My family does Tacogiving tonight, and I've packing/cleaning to do and an hour to drive, yet.

The fact you guys would like to insert politics into everything is patently ridiculous and why a lot of people tend to view you guys in a negative light.

Those darn liberals. I can't imagine who else would so readily malign them and -Oh wait yes I can. O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Beck, and the rest of that awful machine.

Pretty much reminds me of this awful rant.

Racism as an issue in our society is wholly inseparable. Pretty much the only people who try to complain about the 'race card' are rich white folks on the news.

Kids being killed in the streets* because of their skin color isn't a social issue?

*By police, of all people.

However. Given a brief discussion, we're going to let you sit this one out.

I haven't heard this before, but I can see where it's going. Is there a record of what his story was before being arrested or released?
