“...his family appear to be devout Christians who forgave her...”

That was his brother, and his brother was amazing. He was an amazing witness to Christ. But even he said that he didn’t think his family agreed with him.

And I can understand being unforgiving. But this NFL thing sounds like a bad idea all around.

Doubtful I’ll be watching the NFL’s “big game”, so it matters not to me what PSA BS they show.

This was not an act of “police brutality” it was a situation of someone coming home and allegedly thinking there was an invader (when in actuality she was the invader). Or else a dispute between two neighbors.

But this was not an in-the-line-of-duty police officer shooting incident.

A better case may have been the woman who was shot inside her home by an officer looking in from outside.

Black people with power in Africa can be quite cruel to other black people. It was eye opening for some black American musicians when they visited in the 1970s.

>>The Leftists chaos is playing out just as designed.

Recall that the Weathermen were ok with Charles Manson’s plot of Helter Skelter. Kill the rich pigs in their homes and let black people take the blame to cause a race war that would bring down America and the radical white people could take over.

I don’t think this particular case is a great example of police brutality.

It's a horrible example of "Police Brutality". It was a tragic event, clearly a bad decision on the part of the cop, clearly murder under Texas law (manslaughter in most states), was NOT under the color of authority, she was off-duty, and there was no clear evidence that race played into her decision to pull the trigger. The cop was charged, prosecuted and convicted of murder, sentenced to 10 years and will serve at least 5 years. The ONLY controversial event was the idiot Texas Ranger, raising the blue wall and testifying that NO CRIME was committed. Fortunately, his "testimony" was disqualified, and the jury never saw it.

I don’t recall their goals specifically, but you may be right on target there.

Bernadine Dohrn was criticized for comments she made about the murders of actress Sharon Tate and retail store owners Leno and Rosemary LaBianca by the Charles Manson clan. In a speech during the December 1969 “War Council” meeting organized by the Weathermen, attended by about 400 people in Flint, Michigan, Dohrn said, “First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, then they even shoved a fork into the pig Tate’s stomach! Wild!”[18][19][20] In greeting each other, delegates to the war council often spread their fingers to signify the fork.[10]

I was just reading that the family is suing the apartment complex saying the door on the victims apartment was broken and it wouldnt shut all the way and for the confusing layout of the floor plans. Dont both of these issues coincide with the defenses arguments? Strange

To me, it’s incomprehensible that some in the black community are attacking the police- they’re best hope to solve the crime problem; instead of attacking the liberal politicians, who have the most responsibility for creating the problem.

How about a PSA explaining that most people don’t make an NFL Salary and are sick to damn death of 100 years of black crime!
