Recommended Posts

Jeebus. Can you imagine how bad the body cam footage must be that the city is still stonewalling on this? I mean, we all know it's eventually going to be forced to be revealed.

 

0 it's on the governor, I just biitchfist these guys and force the reveal. Or, we can wait for the inevitable riots and protests and then the eventual reveal.

An estimated 21% of U.S. residents age 16 or older (about 53.8 million persons) reported experiencing contact with police during 2020.

It would be nice if terrible outcomes like this could be avoided, but with that many interactions, it's inevitable that fock ups are going to happen.

Luckily, the boy is going to live.  After the lawsuit which will almost certainly be filed, the family & it's next several generations, will never have to work again.

Wiffle, you did NOT properly give us the race of each individual involved. How are we, The Geek Club, supposed to feel, react and reply without knowing skin color?  It’s all that matters.  Be better.

To her, Murry says, the key issue in this case isn't race — Murry, Aderrien and Capers are all Black — but police training and attitudes.
