    Need all the facts. What type of sandwich?

    Did the cop have peanut allergies?

    Do we wait for the full story or should we start defunding the police now with a little rioting and looting.

    Again, I still don't get why people that are for "Law and Order!" don't want to hold bad/ignorant people accountable just because they have a badge. The law applies to everyone. Holding these trigger happy cops accountable would stop people from taking the streets. I know it's more challenging politicizing championship riots .What do you have to lose?

    So I'll do the work for the pundits. Back in 2015, Guy that got shot got into a fight over some girl. When he was 13, he'd go into BK and fill up his drink multiple times when it was not free refills.

    Death threats and "intimidating" bed sheets if that floats your boat.

    So it looks like we got one vote for rioting and looting before we get the full story.

    Why don't we just preemptively pardon the officer and save everyone the trouble?

    Like what kind of sandwich was it. Did it resemble a firearm?




    or where is the meetup and rally? Is it near a place where I can get a new flat screen.... asking for a friend.

    He wasn't even the guy that the cops were looking for this officer should be fired and put in jail.

    Officer Quickdraw -

    "But your honor, they all look alike. I thought it was the bad guy. I followed my training and reacted because the manual says thinking too much will get you killed and my #1 duty is to make sure I make it home to my family every night."


    12 Angry (White) Men -

    "This Grand Jury finds no probable cause. It was a tragedy. Thoughts and prayers to the family and the officer. Everybody is a victim, here."

    <End Scene>

    What a rookie cop. Didn't follow proper police procedure.

    There are no eyewitnesses and no body cam. The cop can say whatever he wants.

    Cop claims Goodon pointed a gun at him. No idea if true of course... a lot of hearsay with no footage. Body cams should have been mandatory over a decade ago.

    Riot first. Then get the full story. Then give the officer his day in court. Then pass defunding legislation.

    There are two potential wrongs to be accounted for here. One is a possible crime committed by the officer. The other is the failure to serve and protect by law enforcement, more generally. We don't know yet that the officer committed a crime. We do know law enforcement failed. The protests are about failures of law enforcement, not the guilt of individuals. This failure is worth some public wrath whether or not the officer is legally justified.

    Separately, I notice this story doesn't have the traction that the summer cases had. Maybe because we don't have video. Maybe we're fatigued from all the protesting. Maybe the colder weather keeps protesters in northern cities at home. Maybe now that Trump has lost the election, the urgency to protest has subsided.

    The full story is law enforcement covering their asses and then slowly leaking information to fit their narrative after they make sure they have all the narrative points straight.

    Yes that's what you are waiting for and what you blindly trust.

    You make way too many assumptions...across the board.
