This is why I don't think the Charleston shooting is based on racism but rather on megalomania.
Irrelevant. He shot an unarmed man running away in the back. 8 times, so he pretty much emptied his magazine. It doesn't get any clearer than that. And then he seems to plant his taser next to the body. I've seen the vid and if this guy gets off the hook like all the others, there's really something wrong.
Irrelevant to What?? What the hell makes you think I was making any excuses for the cop??
Distopia's comment too is ridiculous, calling me an apologist when I merely state the factual observation that the cop did not give outwardly racist cue's during the first video's stop. Not everything in the world is race based, and racism is not the only hatred around.
You guys must live in extremely Lilly white enclaves to believe that black people only have racist encounters with anyone else.
Find the cure for Fundementia!
