    Crazy how many cops probably get away with crap like this.

    based on the video, it is right to charge the policeman with murder.

    tragic loss of life

    could the escalation been prevented if the man hadn't run and what looked to be grabbing at the cop's weapon? probably so.

    Interesting that you choose to mention this but gloss over the cop's blatant lie

    It's true, though. But regardless of the fact that the man should not have run away from a police officer, shooting him in the back 8 times was obviously excessive use of force. In contrast to the smearing by New Yorker and "I like to profit off Katrina" Felixthecat, bigtexxx agrees.

    texxx can't help but show prejudice, even when he's trying to be fair.

    my answer didn't fit your narrative

    some of you just prefer to smear me before I even answer. Shameful. I dominate your thoughts and control your emotions.

    Wow. That is straight up MURDER. There were nazi SS officers who showed more restraint than that.

    And this is coming from a guy who usually gives cops the benefit of the doubt.

    Hilarious! The new lynch mob are the people who run around accusing others of racism. Yet you have no proof of that, and my response was the policeman should be charged with murder.

    I am able to control how many of you choose to spend your time -- DonnyMost even invested time making a custom picture just to try to smear me before I even answered. You fail.

    This is a profoundly racist statement.

    I'm not smearing you. I'm giving you options. Didn't say anything to disparage you.

    You took the right path. I applaud you.

    If you have honor, the gentlemanly thing to do would be to edit your previous posts that smeared me.

    Deflecting aside, the fact that this is your reputation around here is not something to be proud of. Not that you care, or even remotely understand why that is so.

    Anyway, apparently my rep-whoring image (which took about as long to make as your post) controlled your emotions enough for you to respond to it directly. Operation trolleration complete!

    Nobody has ever pointed out a single racist post I've ever made. Just because the liberals around here WANT that to be their narrative, the reason I frustrate you so much is because the narrative isn't true.

    I would like to publicly recognize REEKO_HTOWN for having honor and being a gentleman. For that I give him my respect. He has gone back and deleted the posts that smeared me.

    You confuse smearing with laughing at you and your clown show behavior. You are being laughed at, you have become a joke.

    A few guys trying to smear a reasonable poster does not mean that that poster's reputation is actually bad.

    Your argument is like saying when there is a mob against a person "oh because there are several people who all agree, there must be something to it". Nope.

    This thread makes me question my faith in humanity. We see a man shot in cold blood and all we can talk about is the reputation of a poster. God awful way to start the day.
