well wait, let's not get carried away here.

I'm willing to believe the official reports from the people investigating the issue unless they're proven to be false.

I don't disregard the pictures of tear gassing journalists and people - I said I have no sympathy for people that stay out past curfew when the curfew was established because of mass rioting, looting, and destruction of property over MULTIPLE DAYS.

Just a little bit of a differnece there.

And you and all the media can say things are calmer now because the 'gool ole boy' local police force was removed all you want, you've been disingenuous from the start and now that your narrative on the 'victim' is falling to shit everyone's desperately looking to change the topic to anything else. But as I said earlier - days 1 and 2 were nothing like days 3 and 4, and things have slowly deescalated since day 4. There are multiple reasons for that, and yes one of the many reasons is because the local police force was replaced.

But pretending that was the only reason... well, lol.

Presumed innocence? I never questioned the presumed innocence - I had no facts about the case and I knew that. I've presumed nothing at any point. My entire stance on this issue has been that way too many people jumped the gun and tried to pick a side and defend that side and attack the other. I've said that's the problem with people in our country today. That's an utterly stupid way to behave - especially when it comes with the destruction of property and the ruining of people's lives.

But many others, on the other hand, immediately accused the cops of wrong doing. Many have said it's because of racism. Others went out of their way to say this kid was an innocent victim and there's NO reason for this.

Now we find out he was an assault and robbery suspect. L-O-L.

I guess we'll just have to disagree on the cause of the riots. Those people wanted their version of justice - without any facts. When they didn't get what they wanted they took to protesting and some took to rioting, looting, and destruction of property.

At first I wondered if people that were so quick to declare this kid innocent, the cop guilty, and anyone who disagreed racist would apologize if they were found out to have been wrong and jumped to conclusions (like many warned.)

The answer is clear. Not only will they not apologize - they're reaching desperately to cling to anything that supports their original narrative.
