In reply to the discussion: 'It was a crank call': family seeks action against 911 caller in Walmart shooting [View all]marym625
(17,997 posts)25. Seriously?
Because I am pissed off that the special prosecutor didn't do his job?
Man, many DU people have gotten to be complete dicks for absolutely no reason -> NO
I have never been as angry in my life as I am that horror that is happening in this country with cops killing its citizens for no reason, the majority of whom are unarmed, young black men. I have been doing all I can in the call for justice.
To minimize my outrage at the murder of John Crawford III because I made a sarcastic statement about the obvious intentional ineffectiveness of the special prosecutor is complete and utter bullshit!
Fuck off.

I think EVERY officer-involved shooting should merit a DOJ investigation, with obvious exceptions.

There's an enormous difference between what is and, ideally, what should be.

He was male. And Black. Ergo, describing him as a "Black male" would simply be a description. n/t

Hmmm, suing him or charging him in criminal court would allow him to feel sorry for himself

The "call" was a conscious attempt to mislead the security people into shooting the man
