51. The cartoon is not offensive in any way, but forgot one thing. Shopping while black:

WARNING, PROFANITY:

Who Is the Wrongest Person in John Crawford's Walmart Shooting?

If you watch the video surveillance footage of black man John Crawford walking the aisles at the Beavercreek, Ohio, Walmart, you see a black man, looking black, engaged in the black act of shopping while black. This black man's greatest sin is that he mindlessly picked up a BB gun while black and continued to shop while black at Walmart...

That is a badass looking BB gun. Made in the US of A, like all good guns should be, except for all those cool ones we get from China. Yep, a black man would look awfully scary waving that around and pointing it at children, as 911 caller Ronald Ritchie said Crawford was doing.

Except here's the problem. The video footage of his entire time holding the rifle, from the moment he picked it up to the moment he dropped it after being shot by the cops, he doesn't aim it at anyone. And when the cops enter, not only is no one anywhere near Crawford, but when he is shot, it is from all the way down the aisle. Seriously, not a goddamn person is around him:



...No, the Rude Pundit is gonna go with Ronald Ritchie here as the most utterly wrong motherfucker in this whole situation. A George Zimmerman without the same level of commitment, when he called 911, Ritchie lied to the dispatcher about what he saw, as he later revealed in an interview with the Guardian. "At no point did he shoulder the rifle and point it at somebody," Ritchie said a month after the incident, which is the opposite of what he said on the 911 call. He told the dispatcher that he thought he saw Crawford loading the gun with bullets, which, as we know, would have more than likely involved pouring tiny metal balls into the magazine. The dispatcher relayed that information to the cops, that a 6-foot tall black man was waving around a gun and pointing it at people at Walmart. Ritchie even lied about the shooting, saying that Crawford swung around and pointed the gun at the police. No, he did not. Ritchie knew he was lying...

Article referenced by RP has a video of the scene at the time with Ritchie lying to the police dispatcher, fortunately, not the shooting itself. It is Walmart's surveillance footage synced with Ronald Ritchie’s 911 call to Ohio dispatchers from the time stamp changing on the video.

'It was a crank call': family seeks action against 911 caller in Walmart shooting

Family of John Crawford, man shot dead by police while holding an unloaded BB rifle, say call was a ‘bunch of lies’

The family of a young black man who was killed by police in an Ohio Walmart while holding an unloaded BB rifle and speaking on his cellphone have called for action to be taken against a 911 caller who claimed he was pointing the gun at people.

John Crawford III was shot dead last month by an officer responding to an emergency call made by Ronald Ritchie, a shopper standing 100ft away, who repeatedly stated to the dispatcher that Crawford was pointing the air rifle at customers...

The children who Ritchie appeared to claim were under threat from Crawford were in the store with their mother, Angela Williams. Williams, 37, died of a heart attack in the panic that ensued among customers following the police shooting. “I hope that he’s happy with himself,” her teenage son said of Ritchie in a Facebook post earlier this month.

Ritchie also told several reporters after the shooting that he was an “ex-marine”. The Guardian disclosed last month that he was thrown out after seven weeks in 2008, after being declared a “fraudulent enlistment”. He states that the problem was a mix-up in his paperwork....

And Ronald Ritchie is not in jail for what reason, since he's admitted he was lying? Could it be a case of uh, racism?

Hey, just an anonymous online poster here, not an attorney.

What was done to this dentist is an example of professional in-your-face racism. I don't care what the mealy mouths are going to say to excuse it. That cartoon is very mild, and the way they treated her, her career and the advocacy work she was doing was shameful. I hope she sues the pants off the little lynch mob there. There is more than one way to lynch a person of any standing, using the tried and true method of character assassination.

And John Crawford III is still dead at this time, and she did not go that far. Americans, white Americans, that is, must stop acting like this does not happen anymore.

That's just my opinion, though.
