Facts that contradict religious beliefs are never accepted with good grace.

Ezra Klein is a Democrat. So, he does not by definition have a bullshit detector.

If Ezra Klein had a BS detector, it would be blaring loudly every time Klein opened his mouth or typed on a keyboard.

"It reads less like something a human would do and more like a moment meant to connect Brown to the robbery."

What a dumbass. The video connects Brown to the robbery and assault on the clerk. Maybe he thinks that was a lie too.

Even though all the witnesses were black and backed up Wilson’s story.

Yep, it doesn’t fit the “narrative”.

Perhaps it didn't fit Klein's experience? His lawyer/valet/driver/aide would have been carrying the goods to begin with, leaving Klein unencumbered.

Probably has no concept of doing things for himself, so he can't relate to St. Swisher needing to hand over his recent spoils to deal with the cracker cop trying to chill his buzz.

Ezra Klein said “Every bullshit detector in me went off when I read that passage.”

Assuming Ezra Klein is not stupid (it’s hard to believe, but bear with me), then you have to assume that he didn’t read the Grand Jury testimony of Brown’s buddy who stated that Brown DID hand him the cigarillos.

I’m not a journalist but I would assume that journalists try to get the facts before they start typing.

It seems to me that he simply glommed onto a single phrase and ran with it. He had no interest in looking any further because he has a story line that he believes which is based on his near-religious faith in progressive dogma.

It is standard “Progressive” ideology. When reality conflicts with their agenda, the reality must be wrong.

That makes it a religion, not a political ideology. Back to another opiate for Marx's masses.

As long as Americans are racist uneducated buffoons, Canadians have a national identity.

“I don’t believe a word of it,” she said. “I know my son far too well. He would never do anything like that. He would never provoke anyone to do anything to him and he would never do anything to anybody. I don’t believe a word of it.”

Post the gif of him shoving the tiny Asian store clerk who dared to confront him while he was robbing the store.

Officer Wilson testified that the Gentle Giant grabbed his semi-auto by the barrel which prevented the slide from moving into battery. That technique is learned in prisons and taught by ex-cons to other thugs on the street on the disarming of police officers.

"Any grappling over a semi-automatic is likely to push the slide out of battery. If the slide is out of battery, the gun won’t fire. Alternatively, the aggressors hand could lap over the rear of the slide in such a way as to prevent the fall of the hammer (the pistol in question, a Sig 299, employs a hammer to strike a firing pin). If the hammer is blocked, it cannot impact the firing pin, the firing pin cannot impact the primer, and “CLICK.”

The above applies to ALL shots, whether first or successive. But ALSO in the context of successive shots, if an aggressors hand is over the slide, but not pushing it out of battery, the gun may fire the first round. But with the aggressor’s hand blocking the ejection port, the just-fired round cannot eject, and a new round is not loaded. Therefore the gun won’t fire a successive round until the slide is manually cycled, allowing the fired brass to be ejected, and a new fresh round to be chambered."

Sounds like Wilson encountered both of these scenarios." –Andrew, @LawSelfDefense

I’ve been reading stories about confrontations/disputes between whites and blacks by white liberals for decades. In a white liberal’s mind, the white person is always judged guilty of being the guilty party. It is a cardinal rule of white lib journalists that the black party is always innocent. Klein would rather believe the versions offered by a black punk than a white police officer. Which makes him a moron.
