    - you disagree that there is a world of difference between...... - groiny Aug 21, 12:08 56
      - I have tried to stay out of this partly because I don't want to get angry but also, I want to wait until facts are well known. - Mel Profit Aug 21, 12:39
      - I still don't think we know what happened yet so I think it's far too early to draw a conclusion either way. - Kim Pine Aug 21, 12:11 54
        
        Drawing conclusions early is they way, though. -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 12:16 1
        
        right, the damage was done with the first report, there is no going back after that. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 21, 12:18
        
        If it's true he was shot 20ft away and fell at the cop's feet...6 times is reasonable imo - Will Hunting Aug 21, 12:13 50
        
        "if it's true" -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 21, 12:15 49
        
        Right, there's unknowns....if that is true, the *but 6 times* isn't at all a concern of mine. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 21, 12:18
        
        I would trust the police officer over the kid with multiple arrests more times than not. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 21, 12:17 47

        Which is a problem in and of itself. So many stupid things have been criminalized that a record isn't a good indicator of - TWuG Aug 21, 12:21 8
        
        you can make ONE mistake, once you are in the back of a cop car multiple times, your credibility should be in question. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 21, 12:23 7
        
        I think you're missing the basic issue here. For the African American community, too many young men end up in the back of a police car - TWuG Aug 21, 12:28 6
        
        sure, what neighborhoods are they getting pulled over in, and what times? - groiny Aug 21, 12:30 5
        
        The facts in the study I linked say it is unwarranted. Blacks get searched twice as often, whites have are 50% more likely to have something - TWuG Aug 21, 12:34 4
        
        you do know what is going on in chicago's black neighborhoods? - groiny Aug 21, 12:36 3
        
        Again, the facts strongly refute what you are saying. - TWuG Aug 21, 12:39 1
        
        show me where these searches took place. They did not take place in Orland Park, they took place in the ghetto. - groiny Aug 21, 12:43
        
        [deleted]
        
        There are multiple conflicting witness reports. - Kim Pine Aug 21, 12:19 36
        
        Six shots in the front, none in the back... -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 12:29
        
        right, but it is still report first, and sort out the facts second. - groiny Aug 21, 12:22 34
        
        Be careful what you wish for. Would you rather those witness accounts stay covered up so they can spread and exaggerate like a game of telephone? -- nm - con_carne Aug 21, 12:28 3
        
        As opposed to when the media spreads them and exaggerates them like a game of telephone? -- nm - Ender Aug 21, 12:33 1
        
        Groiny's concern is about accountability, and I fail to see how there can be more if the community is allowed to spread rumors absent a media account - con_carne Aug 21, 12:42
        
        I would rather not start a race war with untruths. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 21, 12:31
        
        But you can make exactly the same point about the police. -- nm - Roger More Aug 21, 12:24 29
        
        *nods* -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 21, 12:24
        
        how so? -- nm - groiny Aug 21, 12:24 27
        
        For example... - Roger More Aug 21, 12:35 26
        
        The version told by the alleged friend of the officer on the radio said that he first approached them because they were in the street... - Ender Aug 21, 12:48 7

        You'll note that this information was not provided by the police. -- nm - Roger More Aug 21, 12:52 5
        
        Nothing has been provided by them. -- nm - Ender Aug 21, 12:52 4
        
        What do you mean? They've had more than one press conference where they've disclosed information -- nm - Roger More Aug 21, 12:57 3
        
        Please link me to an official police timeline. -- nm - Ender Aug 21, 13:00 2
        
        groiny: "but it is still report first, sort out the facts second" RM: "but you can say the same about the police" - Roger More Aug 21, 13:05 1

        if he did know about the robbery, do you think he would have told the cop so? -- nm - groiny Aug 21, 12:37 17
        
        Politely, I think you misread. The police tried to blame the victim. In reality, the cigar store was irrelevant. The cop stopped the kid for WWB. - David Aug 21, 12:44 5
        
        The cop didn't stop him for walking, he was asked/told to not do it down the middle of the street... -- nm - IrishStephen Aug 21, 12:48 4
        
        I've in my 40s and I've never been asked to move when walking in the middle of the street. -- nm - David Aug 21, 12:58 3
        
        Do you walk down the middle of the street with cars approaching often? -- nm - IrishStephen Aug 21, 13:05
        
        I'd actually like to be a traffic cop and yell at people for being outside the crosswalks. Idiot pedestrians around here are worse than drivers. -- nm - Max Aug 21, 12:59 1
        
        (and I'd be hassling 95% white people for that shit. Well, 95% of the people would be white. Not 95% white with a 5% patch) -- nm - Max Aug 21, 13:02
        
        Robbery = maybe shoplifting...maybe. - Mel Profit Aug 21, 12:44
        
        what in the sam hell are you talking about? -- nm - Reagen Aug 21, 12:39
        
        "he" being the officer. -- nm - kelly Aug 21, 12:39
        
        I... don't understand this point. -- nm - Roger More Aug 21, 12:38 7
        
        I am not aware of the specific details about the info you posted. - groiny Aug 21, 12:46 6
        
        It was the officer who knew nothing about the robbery. All he knew was that there was a couple of guys walking down the middle of the road, blocking - Roger More Aug 21, 12:49 1
        
        The supposed officer's version of the story has the officer disengaging, getting the robbery info, and going back. -- nm - Ender Aug 21, 12:52
        
        your last line is not what is being talked about. - Reagen Aug 21, 12:48 3
        
        it was mentioned in Roger More's post, to which I am also saying, is irrelevant. - groiny Aug 21, 12:51 2
        
        You're still misunderstanding. There was no denial, because he wasn't asked about it by the officer, because the officer didn't know about it. - Reagen Aug 21, 12:53 1

        maybe so, but I think the first reports we get on just about everything now is inaccurate. - groiny Aug 21, 12:12
  - His solution to the problem is completely wack. -- nm - Roger More Aug 21, 12:07 3
    - well, yeah, I do not know what the solution is though. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 21, 12:07 2
      - I should have put "problem" in inverted commas. -- nm - Roger More Aug 21, 12:09
      - Having an audience that has the patience to wait for things to be clearer and is willing to accept shades of gray. - TWuG Aug 21, 12:09
- He was so likable on Hercules. The entire cast was. - David Aug 21, 12:05 31
  - I pretty much started figuring it out when he was in God's Not Dead. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 21, 12:14 2
    - ik, r? -- nm - Diva Aug 21, 12:29
    - yep -- nm - decline Aug 21, 12:26

    - I have a feeling Alex Jones and Ray Comfort don't agree on much. -- nm - Reagen Aug 21, 12:14
    - That could have been an ad on Limbaugh in the mid-90s. -- nm - David Aug 21, 12:14
  - Andromeda was fun too (till the last season and the writers all got high and fucked everything up) -- nm - Beaker Aug 21, 12:08 19
    - Mop? -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 12:08 18
      - c'mon man. he said he doesn't like it. -- nm - Diva Aug 21, 12:11 14
        
        Yet he would intentionally do it. - Spawn Aug 21, 12:14 13
        
        Listen to your friend Andie. She's a cool dude. - Roger More Aug 21, 12:23 [Backboard] 9
        
        Unless it's shady advice about joining triathlons. nm - Dignan Aug 21, 12:27
        
        I missed his serious request. Was that in the post where he left? Or when he came back? - Spawn Aug 21, 12:26 3 1
        
        Your IM: I'd consider it a personal favor. Now let's hug it out, bitches! -- nm - con_carne Aug 21, 12:33 2

        hey now. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 21, 12:27
        
        I'm in aggreement with the fine women below. Let's drop this since that's what Mop has asked be done. - TWuG Aug 21, 12:19
        
        he has said he doesn't like it. and there's so many other things you can say when someone reposts something or repeats an idea. - Diva Aug 21, 12:16
        
        He's asked us to stop. I think we can respect that. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 21, 12:16
      - Please don't do that. -- nm - David Aug 21, 12:10
      - I mentioned it on B2 before you did! -- nm - Beaker Aug 21, 12:08 1
        
        You did it to yourself! -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 12:10
  - I'm still upset that Jayne/John Casey is "crazy and full of hate", too. -- nm - TWuG Aug 21, 12:07
  - I linked a black man ranting on Facebook yesterday, and he said similar things - groiny Aug 21, 12:06
  - he was in the Key and Peele zombies hate black people spoof too. -- nm - Beaker Aug 21, 12:06 2
    - Not acting, apparently. -- nm - David Aug 21, 12:06 1
