Chicago: Black Teen Shot 16 Times by White Cop

Post Reply New Topic

I support the Black Lives Matter movement, but they sure pick crappy examples. This guy was waving a knife around in the middle of the street and ignoring the police.

Well I wouldn't say never. Fox News may be slightly worse. I am just judging by some of the fact-checking websites that I have seen. I usually read both of the websites more than I watch them on TV. I don't like either of them because they will only show stories that go along with their point of view. Like if there is someone killed by the police and another person somewhere else who kills a police officer, MSNBC will feature the story of the person killed by police and Fox News will show the story of the police officer being killed. But CNN would probably have both because they are more balanced, although they might have a slight left stance.

Fair enough.

I doubt it.

and,

THE TRUTH MATTERS (ABOVE ALL ELSE!! !)

And that TRUTH is: blacks face unequal - even lethal - treatment at the hands of the police, in a way whites rarely have to think about. That's why they have to proclaim, BLACK LIVES MATTER, because their lives don't seem to with too many police.

The fact is that I hope Bubba gets a chance to glaze that cop's bacon doughnut in a prison cell. I don't normally condone that kind of worldview, but..... yeah, this cop kinda deserves it.

This is probably just a joke but this is advocating torture.
Not even the most evil person deserves to be tortured.

Every time I hear something further about this "16 rounds" killing it reminds me more about "Chicago" police methods.

There were a few police in the area at the time that said they didn't view the shooting.

But the rest of the cops, the large majority, felt the shooting was justified:

"Van Dyke told an investigator McDonald was "swinging the knife in an aggressive, exaggerated manner" and "raised the knife across the chest" and pointed it at Van Dyke, according to one report. Multiple officers reported that even after McDonald was down, he kept trying to rise while holding the knife."

The ""thin blue line"...see how they lie for each other? They don't care if you know this. And this has been going on for probably at least 100 years. And Chicago has been firmly Democratic. I guess if there are any liberal thinkers around Chicago these days they must be quite adept at ignoring people of color by now. In my opinion Rom Emmanuel is treating poor people in Chicago like Palestinians; and I believe he's in bed with big business, just like the Daley's used to be; just reading some Chicago news for a short while will convince you.

No justice there.
