The way you worded the question you assume I am in agreement with your conclusion.
I said “I don’t know”. My belief is that I do not believe they decided to simply punish a perp for sh1ts and grins. I pretty much reject your premise.
Can you imagine how certifiable any cop would have to be after Saint Skittles and the Gentle Giant, to intentionally kill or even severely beat a black perp?
Such a cop would have to have a record of violence and simply not GAF. I would tend to think that any cop that far gone, in today’s hypersensitive/PC forces would have been officially ‘gone’ from the force the day Saint Skittles got his life turned around. The cops weren’t even THERE and still got blamed for a ton of crap. Then Saint Swisher martyred hisself for the cause and the cop had to quit in fear of his family’s life. And there is not one cop in America unaware of the NYC witch hunt by the mayor. So I imagine every force in the country expects something on that level from their local pols.
So we are to believe that even when confronted with this crapstain of a proven to be violent human, they ignored VERY recent history and put the boots to him?
Talk about not passing the smell test...
What is my premise?
