Apparently, no matter what, despite how many independent entities manage to corroborate the evidence, the only thing that matters is the emotionalism. So what if the young Black man fired at the cop three times? Every young Black man should get to shoot at cops at least six times, because ... justice! Or something.
And for all the people who are now wearing out their mouses (mice?) banging the "alert" button as hard as they can on this post: yes, there most definitely ARE bad cops who do bad things. Nation-wide, there are a lot of bad cops who do bad things. But in aggregate, they are a very slim sliver of a fraction of all cops out there.
Here's another newsflash: there are young Black men who do bad things. That's simply undeniable if for no other reason that there have been lots of cases, proved beyond any shadow of any doubt, of young Black males murdering other people, usually other young Black males. But here's something else about that: they are a tiny sliver of a fraction of all young Black males out there. Just like bad cops.
Hmph. Imagine that. Some bad people do some bad things, but it manages to not be representative of people as a whole.
If you (the Royal You) are going around demonizing "the fascist pigs" or whatever you want to call them these days, then you are no different than anyone who goes around demonizing "Black youths" or whatever other euphemism that racists want to use these days to substitute for "nigger." You're engaging in exactly the same mentality as racists who hate Black people solely because they're Black or culturally different or whatever.
