In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who shoot them in their homes; and the district attorneys, who release irrelevant search warrants after the fact. These are their bullshit stories. https://t.co/bXsO1r6o0m

What with evidence victim shot across room and allegations of shadows and darkness, how could officer identify race of victim?

Is that HE is being investigated. The DA's are treating him like an alleged crook - instead of the cop that shot him.

I truly believe - if I was in the middle of giving birth in my own home and a maggot like George Zimmerman burst in and shot me -

It would be my fault for being in my home, in a vulnerable position, like - oh giving birth -

And someone would pull out a bullshit rule that - well her crime was having terracotta walls. If ONLY she hadn't painted her room that color so the Zimmerman Maggot is actually the VICTIM.


It's just fucking enough.

Who's narrative is hanging by a thread?

What the ever loving goat fuck are "allegations of shadows"? How are these alleged shadows relevent to coming uninvited int a man's home and killing him?

Now I've had a shitty day and i want to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I have to be honest with you:
Your comment seems dismissive of the OP's view point.

If you want to post in support of the police and the DA's office, I suggest you do so SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN GROUP.

Seriously be a bit more aware for fucks sake.
