Teenager Alerts Police That They Left Their Brights on -- 5 Minutes Later They Shoot Him Dead

[JoeyT]

76. Don't believe your lying eyes!

You're supposed to believe the pictures the police released, with maximum blood for effect. Even though the actual wound that supposedly created that blood is about as dangerous as a paper cut, and doesn't look anything like a cut from being struck usually does.

All the cuts I ever had or seen that looked like that that came from a strike were on eyebrows and cheekbones....somewhere with a ridge of bone behind it to open the cut up. I've seen and had cuts in the center of the forehead, but they don't look anything like that. Forehead cuts are usually large gashes that are opened with glancing blows or a massive strike that puts a person out of a fight, not little bitty rips with straight edges.

If I'm going to give the cop the benefit of the doubt, it looks more like a fingernail cut. If not, self inflicted with a razor blade. If that cop gets removed from the force, there's always a career in acting and stage makeup.

Either way, I find it funny that the people that shout about benefit of the doubt always default to benefit of the doubt meaning "Trust the cops until video comes out that proves otherwise, and then we're going to comb his facebook for anything we can use to keep defending the cop.". It's almost like they're pretending to be totally neutral, but aren't neutral at all. Very Fair and Balanced-like.
