[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it’s always mental health when the shooter is white. You know, he was just having a bad day. Excuses were being made for him BY LAW ENFORCEMENT. And minorities are tired of it.

Newsflash - it can be both. He can be mentally ill, and racist.[/quote]

I'm sorry you fell for fake news. The police officer was relaying what the murderer said. That wasn't the officer's assessment. Big difference. [/quote]

The cop's professional assessment is that the dude was just having another "bad day" at the office.  [/quote]
Really. I find hard to believe that any police officer could make such an assessment and even harder to believe that anyone believes it.   You don't believe it, what makes you think anybody else does?[/quote]

It's from the press conference.  So, the cop was relaying the killer's message.  Along with what the killer told investigators, the cop added his own editorial comments, like "bad day."  That's why the cop's getting flamed.  The "bad day" didn't come from the suspect.  That was the cop's description of the killer's day.

Well okay, but it still seems to be some sort of quote or paraphrase of what the suspect said.  And the cop who said it was from the communications deparent, not an investigator on the case, so it's second hand information.  And it's also totally meaningless as a motive.  No shit he was having a "bad" day.  Do people commit crimes on "good" days? The officer who said it was dismissed from the case and replaced by his supervisor.  It's definitely not a professional opinion.[/quote]

The pretzel twisting you all do is simply mind boggling. Well okay, but...indeed.

It is not a professional opinion, but an *empathetic* opinion from a law enforcement officer, regardless of what his role is.  And that's why it is a problem. This is why white people get to go in front of a jury of their peers, and others get executed in the street.  [/quote]
