Turns out this was the reason the initial police statement about the officer executing her neighbor was so mild:

quote:

"At the very early stages of this investigation -- initial indications were that they were what we consider circumstances of an officer-involved shooting. However, as we continued this investigation it became clear that we were dealing with what appears to be a much different and very unique situation."

Military obituaries are basically the same thing and if the family doesn't want to talk to the press, or the death isn't news worthy enough, that's all that the public will read.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I could have sworn that Carlson did the exact same rant nearly word for word a few months ago. That CJR piece did a great job of chronicling his transformation from a douchey college Republican type to being the Pied Piper for white supremacy.

.58 Minié ball and fire OR mobs and guillotines OR .30-06 and .45 ACP. Tools depends on who you're dealing with, with Tucker's latest bullshit, I think Fox News needs some good old .30-06 and .45, worked from 1941 to 1945 for Americans.

There’s longer video floating around of the whole exchange. That white dude was a loving idiot and it was super satisfying seeing him get punched, but that other guy escalated that poo poo by drawing his pistol, even if he didn’t point it. There were a few points where he turned his back on the white guy too, and it looked like there was a few times when he was sizing up whether he could try to take the weapon.

I won’t fault the guy for intervening on their behalf because that dude was way the gently caress out of line. But he drew too early, and frankly was kind of lucky that the white guy was more of a loudmouth rear end in a top hat than anything.

Edit: also worth noting that the black dude rocked that hat, Hawaiian shirt and running shoes like nobody’s business.

Since you are using your Elite Tactical Assessment:

The guy who wins the fight accurately assessed that there were people video taping it all and that the dude who was talking poo poo to the woman was a loving clown who couldn't win a fight against a stuffed animal. I think he was fine. And yeah, I watched the whole video. It's obvious who's in control the entire time, and it sure as poo poo isn't "dude who gets decked in the face"

Was the snark really necessary?

Having now found an article that says that the white dude made some kind of threat inaudible in the video that prompted the other guy to draw, that changes the circumstances considerably. I’m glad the bully got his rear end kicked and even more glad that no one ended up getting shot because Tube Socks got pissy.

Probably not, and I didn't realize you didn't know that the guy made verbal threats prior to the draw.

But there are a whole lot of people discussing this poo poo online who tend to think cops shooting a black guy holding his wallet are reasonable while being very, very upset that this man didn't do everything he could to placate Angry Yelling Dude and instead ended up punching him, so my hackles are up a bit.

Not even sure why there's any drama at all about this anywhere. Older white dude threw a lovely 1st punch to initiate contact, got popped pretty good in return then backed off. Unless there was prior violence not on the video that's that.
