Do you differentiate this situation from Ferguson? Because anyone who objectively knows the facts of what occurred based on the sworn testimony of that trial would tell you its pretty apparent Mike Brown was very culpable in his own death. That didn't stop Ferguson from going in flames.
Anyway, that's not at all what Pope was saying, but this is a subject that always invites strawmen.
OK, here goes:
1. There was no trial, Missiouri State courts convened a grand jury and decided not to indict and the federal investigation decided not to press charges. This isn’t a semantic difference so don’t even try. The cops getting the benefit of the doubt on killings is part of the core problem here that led to the riots in both Ferguson and Minnesota.
2. Looking at the riots in a vacuum is a deflection tactic that I have no freaking patience for.
3. I have even less patience for Pope and his racist schtick he’s been peddling on this board for years which is now blatantly just racism. I really don’t give a excrement about what he says.
