“It’s bad this young lady lost her life,” Barkley said of Taylor. “But we do have to take into account that her boyfriend did shoot at the cops and shot a cop."

I pretty much agree with everything Barkley said here.

We still love Sir Charles here in Phoenix.

Even Glover, the drug-dealing ex-boyfriend she was picking up money for understood that.

Glover (drug dealing ex boyfriend) blames Walker for her death, and says that if he had been there, “Bre would be alive, bruh... I don’t shoot at no police.”

Charles has more common sense than ridiculous white liberals like Steve Kerr.

“But we do have to take into account that her boyfriend did shoot at the cops and shot a cop. So, like I say, even though I am really sorry she lost her life, I don’t think we can just say we can put this in the same situation as George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery. I just don’t believe that.”

Methinks Sir Charles makes plenty of sense there.
In fact he makes more sense than every single elected Democrat. And he makes vastly more sense than LeBron the moron.

There’s been a lot of knee-jerk liberals that’ll chant ‘burn it down’, and they mean it. The cops mostly just let them riot.

[[Arbery was fatally shot while jogging in Georgia]]

BZZZZZT- Wrong Again Charles- Arbery was shot while trying to steal a gun away from an armed man- a Stupid Stupid thing to do- His own stupidity cost him his life-

But yes, you are right about breona-

Yaakov Meridor, the Irgun leader, when he was caught in his hiding place by the British, gave up peaceably, because he did not want to do battle with them and risk his wife and children getting hurt. He spent several years in exile in an African prison, missed the ultimate triumph over the Mandate, but he did escape and arrive back in Israel on time for the War of Independence.

What did this bozo have to gain by shooting at the cops. Breono’s death is on him, because all he thought about was himself.

Perhaps black people tiring of BLM and the fake sympathy of the liberal news media.

Though it was an ill-advised boneheaded stunt by the police and they shouldn’t have been there at all, Barkley is correct that once the lead starts flying, all bets are off. Ain’t nobody within range safe.

Yes he does. His reaction to the Jussie Smollett incident showed that. And it’s hilarious.

That is true. The media has brainwashed the people.

Maybe Charles can provide the public with the details of how a DEAD BODY was found in Taylor’s rental car recently.

No one else seems to want to talk about it.

I have driven over 1 million miles.

I have owned a number of vehicles.

I have NEVER had a DEAD BODY in my vehicle!!!!

The dead body in the rental car story just lingers out there. Nothing said much over it. They know who it was, and have buried the guy. She had to have known the person as well...maybe on a first name basis.

A normal person would have flipped on the report of the body in their rental car....got themselves cleared, and moved out away from this whole mess...leaving the state. She didn’t....she just lingered there in the middle of the drug business, and wanted a lifestyle surrounding it.

Yeh, appears to me, viewing the riots on tv that the demographic is young and white. Guessing mostly college students. If the cops would be more aggressive with crowd dispersal techniques These snow flakes would go back home to mommy and daddy real quick....
