In reply to the discussion: Another POV on the Ahmaud Arbery Killing: From a candidate for a GA Sheriff [View all]Haggis for Breakfast
(6,831 posts)19. Thank you, aikoaiko, for this post.
I was traumatized by the murder of Corey Jones (in Florida) by a Palm Beach Gardens police officer, Nouman Raja in October 2015. Jones car had broken down on the interstate and he was waiting for motor vehicle assistance at the time of the killing.
In that case, the lies began immediately, cover-up at all costs to protect the blue line. Raja changed his story constantly. Only one problem. Raja didn't know that Jones was ON THE PHONE with a dispatcher at the time. His lawyers obfuscated again and again, requested delay after delay as their failed defense tactics were over turned, one after another.
It took too long, but Nouman Raja is now in prison where he belongs.

It is fascinating to apply the same point by point analysis to Trump and his manipulations

Nice definition of "shit stirrers." These are exactly the people bearing arms at various protests
