This gets better and better... (sigh)

Paraphrased from earlier in the thread: "A call from a convenience store alerted a patrolman to the area where he observed an individual matching the description in the nearby road. Contact with said individual resulted in a violent confrontation where shots were fired."

That appears to be the direction we're going, evidence based.

Doesn't fit the narrative Zeke, white cop shoots black guy = racist asshole. Doesn't matter what actually happened.

There's white thugs too but because the 'perp and/or victim' was black, you are racist. It's apparently in the rule book.

Of course that weasel Rand Paul ran in late to the party with his op ed in Time magazine.

Agreed about the militarization Bob.

Nobody is going to mention how well the new commander is doing?
