Why does no one ever talk about the people running that city?

The author admits that many witnesses lied in an attempt to cause the officer to be charged with a capital crime and have him spend the rest of his life in prison.

The author completely fails to recognize that an unknown but perhaps substantial amount of the negative information regarding the Ferguson police consists of similar falsified reports.

The culture of lies by those who accuse every white of being racist has made it impossible to discern where there is real fault to be addressed. Like the proverbial boy who cried "Wolf!", the liars have no credibility left and deserve to be devoured by the wolf.

The damage is already done. The WaPo and the rest of the advocate media has blood on their hands.

re: Telling the truth after all the damage has been done. What a brave man.

Actually, in this political politically correct environment, telling the truth at any time is an act of bravery. Are there any others in the mainstream media or on the Left willing to acknowledge the facts? I could be wrong on this, but it seems to me that Capehart is a lone voice for the truth in this instance among his peers. The rest are continuing with the standard narrative of racism and police brutality, having chosen to ignore the facts. BTW, I just did a search on Capehart. He is black. So he is in for some serious attacks. No doubt he will be accused of being an Uncle Tom and a self hating black for not continuing the lies.

Jonathan Capehart is a domestic enemy of the Constitution, but even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

I never believed the initial report from the beginning. I've been around too long and seen and heard too many "unbiased" reports concerning racial incidents (and many other things) to ever believe any liberal about virtually anything.

Since I began paying attention to these kinds of things half a century ago, the first report from any journalist who was classified as a liberal ( the great majority of them) has been to assume the white party is guilty and the black party is innocent. Tons of movies, tv shows, and books and been written in this manner.

And virtually every time the truth was revealed, the initial lib report was found to be a lie. Just can't believe libs about anything.

Jonathan Capehart: "They have also forced me to deal with two uncomfortable truths: Brown never surrendered with his hands up, and Wilson was justified in shooting Brown."

Yes, both were truths from the beginning, are truths now, and will always be truths.

These are also truths: Jonathan Capehart is a leftwing, lying, scum-sucking toadie, Jonathan Capehart has always been a leftwing, lying, scum-sucking toadie, and Jonathan Capehart will always be a leftwing, lying, scum-sucking toadie!

We know it’s a lie, but the American people will always “think” it happened. That’s the trouble, the people don’t think.

I still don’t. In reading the article, he makes me think he’s giving a “fake but accurate” apology (if you can call it an apology)

“I can’t breathe” is also built on a lie.

Next I’d like to see a liberal, just one, admit they were wrong about communism, wrong about McCarthy, wrong about the Great Society. And in about twenty years, when it’s irrefutible that global warming was a crock, I’d like to see them admit that as well.
