Here we go again...

He can’t breathe.

[rdl6989]

I can’t wait to hear he didn’t do anything and was a law abiding citizen who was harassed by the cops etc.

She couldn’t breathe.

[R. Scott]

Only if he was black.

[deoetdoctrinae]

Good point. She couldn’t and now he can’t.

The suspect was “TPd.” This was more than suicide by cop, it was also the shooting of a criminal who who would not obey orders from law officers. When will they learn to do what the policeman tells you to do...the day will end on a happier note rather than in the morgue. No mention of RACE, I wonder why?

Oh, the horror! A mere teenager! He only had a knife and a gun, not some nasty Ar-Glock 15 with a super-duper high capacity clip! Why couldn’t the officer shoot him once in each elbow and Taze him????/SARCASM ;)

“Gibsmedat”

[Pining_4_TX]

Yes, and according to his mama he was turning his life around, about to enroll in college, and really wanted a job but the evil white bankers and corporate CEOs won’t hire blacks.

[Celtic Conservative]

Okay, that’s good for a start. It also works well on a ballcap, so that’s a twofer.

Profiling!

Maybe. No race mentioned in article. Usually means black. In that case the Obama-Holder demagogues, the race-grievance industry, most MSM and university employees scream "PROFILING!"..

Hands off. Don't look.

Another child victim of gun violence. Call the Brady Bunch.

Although that has not been released yet, it was in a part of town where it is highly likely.

I do object to this wording. It reissues police statements as if they are simply fact.

Now in all likelihood the police statements ARE fact, but the reporter has no way to know that unless he witnessed the events himself.

Another expiring rapper?
