They wanted this to be their Reichstag fire moment

But instead they got played.

Agreed!

One of the best I’ve ever seen.

Excellent point

Was listening to NPR a couple of weeks ago...

A standard story came in that started with the standard lede, “President Trump said today that...”. I truly don’t remember what Trump’s assertion was, but I do remember that it was a blatant lie.

I remember thinking that was too bad NPR didn’t finish with a standard disclaimer such as”, As is normal, the President is completely full of shit...”.

Or “lying his ass off”, “taken leave of his senses”, “demonstrates no respect for the truth”...

I just wish they would note when he is lying...which is almost all of the time.

None of this should matter in this context

I’m having so many problems with the narrative that Dallas Morning News and other local news outlets are trying to establish.

The key point is that he was in his apartment.

At this point, Amber Guyger, is no longer a cop. She is an armed home invader. The assertion that she fired because he failed to obey verbal commands is insane.

She is in his apartment.

Neighbors have testified that they heard banging on a door then gun shots.

This most likely means that the door wasn’t open and was opened by Jean.

Police can only use the “didn’t respond to verbal commands” if they are acting as police.

Something is really, really wrong with Amber Guyger’s story.
