‘Hands up, don’t shoot’ was built on a lie

Wow, just wow. Of course there is the usual denial from DUmmies and attacks on cops, but this shocked me.

7. the blunt fact is that it appears that the shooting was justified.

I don't believe for a minute that the Justice Department would just make this all up. The report is convincing.

I'm with Capehart. It makes me ill that this is the case, but denying it at this point is just dishonest.

14. You are so easily manipulated by words like

"forensic" and "evidence". "Forensics" can't tell you whether he had his hands up when shot, who started the fight, etc. "Evidence" is not the same as proof and its obvious that when they use that term they are sometimes referring to the cop's testimony. How easy it is to trash Dorian Johnson - he's just a black "witness" who's lying, right? And now all of a sudden the cop knew about the cigarillo robbery. There's a lot of bullshit being flung. Perhaps it wasn't quite like we thought but saying it was a justified killing is bullshit. As far as i know the justice department never said it was a "justified" killing. They said there was not enough evidence to charge the cop with a civil rights violation under the elements needed. Something entirely different. Yet here you and Capeheart are calling the killing justified. So easily manipulated.

17. yeah. I actually believe that forensics and evidence and facts are important in coming to

any conclusions.

The evidence presented by the JD at least should shed doubt on whether it was murder by Wilson- something I, and a lot of others, initially believed.

I'm amazed that any DUmmie is willing to consider the facts and evidence when it goes against their mythology.

Why do Dummies hate science?

They like, I mean really like LIKE!, theoretical sciences. Y'know, Global Warming/Climate Change, Evolution (won't know unless somebody gets busy on the time machine) raising taxes, governmental fees and the minimum wage. Settled science, on the other hand, thet remain skeptical about. Y'know, less government regulation will help the economy and get more of the 93 million non-workers back into the labor market (93 MILLION! Almost one third of the over 18 population), A strong military and a known will to use it to protect our interest overseas will do more to increase our nation's profile and calm down the more hot-headed of our adversaries.

Yeah, the DUmmies hate the wrong type of science. And worship at the altar of the speculative.

Facts that contradict Prog narratives are eeeeeeee-vile, and in this instance, racist.

The libs are lining up to admit fault...

But with libs and apologies, they are always weak, half hearted and insincere.

Yeah, and all it took was a crowbar, a lead pipe, twenty five shots with a Taser and a 2x4 to the head.

Yes, sir.   :II:

They have no hope in hell of understanding them, but they like them.  Great example:

That would be the science involved in ......radio, (D)ipshit.  Want to debate it?   :hammer:  If the store owner called 911 within minutes of the incident, St. Brown of the Holy Stogies would barely be three blocks away by the time dispatch was on the radio to the nearest unit.

Holder is their man.  Do they think he has betrayed them now?  We all know dang well that Holder would have charged him with anything if he could have.  I am actually shocked he has not been charged with "something".  Littering, lol.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

I wonder how long it will be before NoJusticeNoPeace chimes in on that thread, openly accuses Wella and cali of being police plants, and demands their houses be bombed or burned.

The DUmmies view science the way they view most other things: They only care about it when it can be twisted enough to back up their insane political views. If it produces anything that disagrees with their views, they claim it's not "Real science" and accuse the scientists in question of having been paid off by Bush and the Koch brothers.
