#pointergate may be the most racist news story of 2014

What you are about to read and watch is stranger than fiction. It's so racist and so outrageous, that people are questioning whether or not it's satire from The Onion. It's real though, and that's what is so shocking and heartbreaking about the whole ordeal.

Surprised this is out of Minnesota and not some backwards ass state. Crazy media hit piece.

It's proof that bigotry is woven throughout our culture.

From the cops in the clips to the local news outlet that airs them.

It may not be a conspiracy but it's certainly evidence of a pattern among network media, police powers, and the people who buy into it all.
