BEACAUSE THE POLICE LET THE GUY WALK OUT THE FRONT DOOR OF THE STATION THE SAME NIGHT AND BELIEVED EVERY WORD HE SAID...
And also because there was witness tampering which also has still not been officially disputed...
And also because the police botched the evidence at the scene every which way till Sunday...
And also because the police made no real effort to find or contact the parents as the body lay on a morgue...
And also because there is a 911 tape detailing how Z gets all hot and bothered pursuing this kid...
And also because none of this happens if Z stays in the truck...
And also because Z had a gun and TM was unarmed...
And also because Z was told not to pursue TM...
And also because this brings up issues about vigilante lunatics who see everyone with black skin as a criminal...
And also because there is a statement by Z that says "these assholes" always get away, a lie detector being the only way to distinguish who "these assholes" are (are they 'local criminals'...yeah sure) and whether race was a factor in his pursuit...
And also because most of the officers were Caucasian...
And also because they thought Z was Caucasian...
And also because every single member of the black community knows this speaks to a larger trend of woeful disregard for black life, especially those of black youth who you and crod and the cops themselves, especially in Sanford as I detailed in this thread, believe to be certified career criminals...
I can go on but I'll let you take a breather...
Go take a nap Slovak, you need one...
