NBC Legal Analyst: Ambiguous Words Like "Charging" Are Racist

LISA BLOOM, NBC LEGAL ANALYST: Now, this issue about charging, which I find to be a racially-tinged offensive word in and of itself, but I would have asked him, what exactly does that mean? Because at one point he says Mike Brown took a step forward. Another time he says, he took a hop, as he was about to run and then he began running. So running is inconsistent with one step forward. So which is it, Mr. Wilson? I mean, you really have to get to the bottom of it. You can't let an ambiguous word like 'charged' get out there to the grand jury without analyzing it without cross-examining it and that just didn't happen.

It is a feature of the modern world that evil-minded people, people not of good will, try to dissect, parse, deconstruct anything said by people they dislike or disagree with. It’s an attempt to find offense, or error, or dishonesty where no such things exist.

Don’t forget proving who you are and that you are a legal citizen. That’s racist too.

...”OMG, I am so sick of this tearing apart of everything including words”....

Politically Correct stops the debates......IF you can’t say that, let’s say, Islam’s fake Religion is one of Death,and it is what it is..then yo have to define it another way...most just get frustrated and stop arguing their point...

Calling people Bigot is another tool in their belts...expect it when they are loosing the arguement ...

Any word can racist if it is used to prove that a black person did anything wrong.

The Charge of the Light Brigade was a charge of British light cavalry led by Lord Cardigan against Russian forces during the Battle of Balaclava on 25 October 1854 in the Crimean War.

Don't think there were too many guys who look like Obama's sons there on either side.

charging, which I find to be a racially-tinged offensive word in and of itself,

Is this satire?

Well, that clears it up.
Now I understand why they steal stuff directly, instead of using stolen credit cards...

“Charge”: to attack by rushing violently against: The cavalry charged the enemy.

She has no trouble “charging” a police officer with murder without evidence or due process…

Just admit it. EVERYTHING a white person does or says is racist.

I noticed they said he was charging like a football player with his head down.

That’s “Spearing” and a 15-yard penalty. Didn’t he realize that he could have broken his neck?

This woman is nuts. It is easy to imagine someone in a confrontation with a police officer - especially someone high on marijuana - making several different motions - a single step and a hop or hesitation, in rapid order - before running towards the officer. And what - precisely - “racially tinged” about the word “charging”? Because it suggests the actions of a bull? Well, that’s a pretty good analogy for an angry, drug-crazed, 300-pound man rushing at you.

Dear Msssss Bloom, charging is not a racial term. How dare Wilson throw it out there without being cross examined?

You dumb twat, that was his testimony before 12 members of the Grand Jury WHO cross examined his testimony.

Mass Bloom evidently attended the same law school Mr. Constitution himself Emperor Nero did.
