Get the story straight next time NoRethugFriends May 2022 #8

Excuse me? sheshe2 May 2022 #9

Perhaps the poster is referring to the fact that many of the police were also "brown". BlackSkimmer May 2022 #10

I'm quite sure you're capable of watching media of your choice. BlackSkimmer May 2022 #19

Most people involved were brown Sympthsical May 2022 #11

Thank you. BlackSkimmer May 2022 #14

She's on Twitter. SMC22307 May 2022 #42

If you want to be an apologist for the police inaction here, THAT is what is offensive. MerryHolidays May 2022 #40

Idk why the cops screwed up so but questionseverything May 2022 #44

PLEASE READ MY POST. I do not think you are. You are fixated on color. MerryHolidays May 2022 #46

The op made it about color in her title, they were brown questionseverything May 2022 #49

Rather than blaming someone, would you care to get over debating points? MerryHolidays May 2022 #54

Omg you have gone from poc were targeted because they were poc questionseverything May 2022 #64

You are not DU admin. Please don't tell me what to post. nt MerryHolidays May 2022 #66

Yes, the OP should delete. SMC22307 May 2022 #72

Hopefully, you too will delete your laughing emoji. nt MerryHolidays May 2022 #76

Nope. "Distinguished DUer" earned it. SMC22307 May 2022 #77

If you want to keep your laughing emoji in this saddest of times, ok...says a great deal. nt MerryHolidays May 2022 #81

Agreed. MerryHolidays May 2022 #89

No one is apologizing for police inaction. But people are rightly calling out... SMC22307 May 2022 #53

Your laughing emojis in this saddest of times is disgusting. I would strongly suggest you remove. nt MerryHolidays May 2022 #55

There's no laughing emoji in my post. (n/t) SMC22307 May 2022 #57

Glad you removed it. Oh, so sorry: you didn't! MerryHolidays May 2022 #59

Um, no. Never was. Show me in the edits where I removed it from the post you replied to. (n/t) SMC22307 May 2022 #61

Different post. And that one's staying. (n/t) SMC22307 May 2022 #62

That's entirely on you to have laughing emojis about this. nt MerryHolidays May 2022 #68

"Distinguished DUers"? SMC22307 May 2022 #48

Wow...really profound. Your ad hominem and useless attack is duly disregarded. nt MerryHolidays May 2022 #50

There are definitely big chunks of missing information. summer_in_TX May 2022 #67

Right-wingedness? nt MerryHolidays May 2022 #69
