Ajax. I want you to read the allegory over again. You’re almost there because you sympathize with the character and understand how the system works against someone who’s institutionally disempowered and situationally having a bad day. When the police come in and escalate a bad moment into a felony situation you can empathize with the character because he’s screwed. Had the police just came in, talked to him, had someone there to relate to him, escorted him back home, and then liaised with him with regarding a therapy appointment where he could get some help rather getting a baton and dog attack and multiple felony charges and jail time, all of which exasperate his desperation, that’s the kind of policing we want.

That’s the primary reason for these protests. Can you get behind that?

The rest of the stuff going on I agree is BS. I can get behind resisting that.

Not sure why the link didn't work. It works if I paste it into the address bar.

https://www-azfamily-com.cdn.ampproject ... 4ff89.html

Even more weird, the link doesn't include this which the hyperlink adds:
amp_Joseph%20Smith_v=a3&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA%3D

Someone ____ with the board?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.azfami ... 9.amp.html

It doesn't do it to the Google link. Grrrr
The "amp" page is likely due to your own user cache and not an objective reference for the rest of us.

From what I'm reading on the web, the suspect is claiming that he was doing drugs with the father in the house when they got into an altercation and a stray bullet aimed for the father accidentally hit the child.

The version saying he was killed for riding his bike and a black man just walked up to him and put a gun to his head seemed suspect to me because the cops said the kid died at the hospital. Both the suspect and the parents have had extensive criminal history on drug related charges. The father admits the suspect was at his house the night before but refused to tell the cops what it is they were doing. The parents have charged pending against them now as well since they were under the influence of an illegal narcotic. Their goFundme page has been suspended until the parents are cleared. Both parents refused to take a lie detector test. Thus far there has been no evidence to corroborate their version of events.
Now that you feel relieved, do a similar deep dive on the circumstances around George Floyd's incident.

You mean the extended footage showing the cops were even more heartless than we initially thought? Not the extended footage edited by Brietbart, but all the footage.

This ordeal is an indictment of Right Wing propaganda, not the mainstream media. Virtually everything they've been saying on this has been wrong. The cops still haven't released a police report for crying out loud, and they cite COVID concerns for their reasons. The Right Wing media wants to take a local news story with scant details, and fill in the blanks with all sorts of assumptions that fit their preferred political narrative, and then turn around and blame legit news outlets for not reporting on that manufactured narrative. That's because legit journalism doesn't do that. But Brietbart and the Washington Times most certainly will.

Everything coming from the right is projection. They're assholes, and therefore accuse everyone else of being an asshole with whom we should be concerned. If the right voices a concern, we absolutely know they're confessing something.

I know who are fake patriots (traitors) to this country: the ones whining about unpatriotic behavior the most.

Traitors read breitbart and take it seriously. The only difference between fiction and right wing media is the right wing authors expect people to believe their bullsh-it, knowing their audience is composed of fu-cking morons.

According to the article, Sessoms is facing a first-degree murder charge for this.
Why isn't it newsworthy to CNN?
Well I just saw it on the front page of CNN's website with a picture. You must get tired of being so wrong all the time.

His question wasn't clear. What he was asking was, Why isn't CNN freaking out about this inappropriately like all us ignorant racists?

And no, ajax is never tired of being wrong. In fact, he has an endless well of energy for being wrong; he is wrong all the time. It's the one thing in which he excels. I imagine it's because lying is effortless for him; he can do it all day. He's exercised that muscle so much, he barely even feels it anymore.

Yeah, they only reveal the race of the suspect when the murderer is white and the victim is black.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.
