NOPE, not that I remember and the “media” sure as heck wouldn’t have helped to.

In all the anon hacking/releasing, there never is a hack about Barry? I wonder why?

I’m sure the media expects the investigation, every bit of evidence to be run through them. They are the official arm of the White House and Barry has involved himself again.

The very first statement out of the PC’s mouth Sunday is that the first shot at the car hit no one.

How could he even say that with forensics still in progress and a dead body 35 feet away with multiple bullets in him — one of which may have been the first shot.

The police chief is an idiot showing that he will do and say anything to protect his officers and his turf.

I still don’t know why they didn’t call an ambulance and haul him off to the hospital? Even if he looked dead, it’s not leaving him there in the street. I would have sent him. The casing and evidence in his body would still be there.

The very fact that the cop wasn't charged with anything from the get-go tells you that

You gotta be kidding

Well he might NOT have been dead, and if he recovered, then the story would have TWO sides. Can't have that in a police shooting.

I think that is evidence (to me) of witnesses and secondary witnesses, even trained ones, can get stuff Wrong. I’m sure that the whole Dept. will be given a colonoscopy and perhaps shuttered and now the town will be patrolled by another Govt. police force. Sometimes, esp. with Govt. entities, that’s very much needed.

I don’t like what I think is coming though, besides either mob rule/lawlessness or police state, but additionally every organization must have the “same” number (percentage) of melanin-content officers as the community. Hired/fired by melanin content, not ability.

No! The police clashes were caused by the looting and burning down of businesses by the law abiding citizens!

I hope to God that wasn’t even in their thought process. If it was, we are doomed.

It doesn’t matter now. Everyone knows Trayvon was an innocent 10 year old, shot down by an evil White Hispanic. That’s what’s going to stick here too. Black people should be angry, they should riot, they should burn down buildings, because they’ve been used, oppressed, and enslaved by the Rats. They should burn down the nearest Rat HQ, fight the Union thugs, and loot the public schools.

So the cop should have been charged with a crime even if he didn't commit one?

Is that your position?

The fact that Benjamin Crump has asked for a second autopsy means that the forensics disproves the "eyewitness" accounts.

Does that disappoint you? Should the cop be lynched anyway?

How did they disobey the law?

What is supposed to happen when people “protest” in the middle of the streets?

I don’t like the militarization of the police; I think a lot of people here have been talking about how it seems to be preparation for martial law following some big explosive event that the dems have all been talking about. The talk was more along the lines of an EMP or something like that...

But I don’t trust the reporters either. Just looking at the story from the 2 reporters who were arrested, it seems clear that they were trying to get arrested - lolly-gagging in response to the officers’ orders in order to get a rise out of them. Standard tactics for communists trying to provoke an over-response. The reporters were probably disappointed that they got arrests rather than a physical altercation.

What this whole episode shows me is that a lot of people are not interested in sorting out the truth, but very interested in making the story NOT be about evidence/facts but about intimidation, media sound-bites, and politics. Disgusting, all the way around.

As somebody said, it seems like the request for another autopsy might indicate that what was found in the first autopsy did not support the story that Crump wants everybody to believe.

Anon released the wrong name (and social security number) yesterday.

Why no prosecution for making a terrorist threat?

Why no prosecution for possession of someone else’s social security number?

There is no law anymore.

As an aside, I have been doing a tad bit of investigating on prior cases of Illegal Immigrants whom have gone on to kill American citizens. In too many instances, if you look up their booking docs on a previous DUI, or other felony arrest, the Illegal Immigrants (clearly by the mug shot are from Mexico or a Central American country) and are listed under the “race” portion as “WHITE”. I wonder if this is being done to water down the criminality stats of the “dreamers”? Is this done at the Fed. Govt’s Orders? On other crimes in which the perp is not an illegal immigrant but an American of Mexican Ancestry the “race” is listed as “Hispanic”. Eric Holder/Barry manipulation?
