Quote:Pretty much.  Why else would they post his arrest record other than to try to say it was justified?  "He was a criminal.  I'm not saying he got what was coming, but oh wait, yeah I am."  is what they're basically saying.

 

'saved the taxpayers money'.  That's not insinuating.  That's outright stating.  Might as well say "Suspects should just be killed before they ever get a trial, it'll save the taxpayers money.  Everyone knows they're guilty."  You know what'd really save the taxpayers money?  Ending the war on drugs.

 

Ending the war on drugs would do a lot of good clearing his burglary and theft charges. I wonder if you get this excited every time a black man kills a white man, or a black man kills a black man, or a black man kills a cop. I bet you don't, because the media isn't in your ear telling you to be "outraged".

 

I like to believe that no one here actually thinks a person should be denied a fair trial. However, to say we should sympathize with a career criminal over an unfortunate accident (or not) that would cost (and is costing) the state and it's citizens millions with nothing in return? Well, I guess I am not as sympathetic towards our fellow human beings as you are.
