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.

You know, like he charged the Swisher Sweets.
OMG, I am so sick of this tearing apart of everything including words. I am beyond flustered with this administration and its followers. Trying to decide if the US deserves to survive at this point in history.
Lisa Bloom is Gloria Allred’s daughter.
Wiki: “She is the only child of civil rights attorney Gloria Allred”.
Must have had a publik skool ejakashun.
A large segment of the American population is going collectively insane.
I think Lisa Bloom is confused, even though she is allegedly an attorney.
You don’t have “cross examination” during a grand jury proceeding. She is mixing and matching various legal procedures, to make the uninformed think that somehow this grand jury process was illegitimate.
San Diego Super Chargers. Racist.
Someone should tell my wife.
Perfectly clear to me; he came at the officer with an American Express card.
Well hell, the whole English language is racist. So is math, science, genetics, and IQ tests.
The ability to generalize is racist. The ability to connect the dots is racist. The ability to live where you want to live and have the friends you want to have is racist.
The right to protect your family with a firearm is racist too.
It’s all racist, OK? Everything that enables most people to survive and pursue happiness is racist.
Good grief.
I didn’t realize they were charging I thought they were stealing shit.
Wasn’t the analogy to a charging football player used by one of the BLACK witnesses?
Why?!?!?!...A black man can't have a credit card?
She needs to be more specific. Is it “code” or is it a “dog whistle”?
Charging is a racially-tinged offensive word?
Can you give me an example where is was previously used that way?
You can’t? I know, you made that up.
“Will that be debit or charge?
“debit of course? do I look like a RASIS?”
As for these parsers of single-syllable words, our differences are not reconcilable.
