Correct. It was a sound trial, the jury delivered their verdict. There’s nothing to overturn. They will appeal but he’s done. As he should be.

Agree. Time to stop calling this country systemically racist. Pockets, yes, systemic racism? No. This is the least racist country in the world right now.



Oh my lord. Is that your takeaway? This sounds like "we have a black president, we must be post racist now." We are so screwed.

Wherever you believe there’s systemic racism today, please say where exactly.... right here.


Sure. Off the cuff - Black folks get higher loan rates than whites, even when you control for financial factors, credit scores, etc. Black people are routinely given harsher sentences for similar charges, even when their criminal record a) doesn't exist or b) is "better" than a white defendant. Black people routinely have poorer health outcomes, and researchers can't really scientifically figure out why (hint - it's racism). Black children's traits are labeled negatively, while the same traits are labeled in a positive manner for White children.

Shall I go on?

Housing, banking, justice system, schooling, employment....

What bank? Which school? Which workplace?

If you don’t call out SPECIFIC places, no one can fix anything. So again, please share where exactly there’s “systemic” racism.

What would you have liked them to report when they didn't have the benefit of the video evidence?


The problem is the police, not the journalists. The reminder is for the press to keep asking questions in these kinds of cases.

That report is based on the police blotter, which clearly didn’t tell the truth.

You clearly have no idea what systemic means.

I think we’ve learned enough to not believe a word cops say when they kill someone. Just report that a suspect died in custody and that it is being investigated

No.

The opposite.

Because racists will just dig in that much harder on their racism. Not because decent people agree.


pp you quoted here.

I agree with you that this will cause racists to dig deeper.

And the professional race baiters will want to keep it going too.
