Cincinnati Cop Charged with murder.
July 29, 2015 at 2:18 pm (This post was last modified: July 29, 2015 at 2:20 pm by Brian37.)
Simple Google search it is all over the news. But what the DA charging the white cop with murder of yet another unarmed black man said it best

" We don't care if you are a cop or Pope Francis".

But the downside to this story, is yet again the victim's mother thanking God for the indictment.

Yes lady we are thrilled that this cop can't hide behind his badge and nobody likes to lose a loved one.

But where is the logic behind the claim that God sees it happen and can prevent it, but does not?

He's guilty of every crime ever committed because he let it all happen.


Plus, he's a total dickweed Angry

I've now seen the whole video.  Apparently the cop executed him for closing his car door.

I guess that is now a capital crime in 'Murrica.

No sane parent would hire a baby sitter with the same selective deadbeat manner as God.

I think the logic in this is that it is almost a miracle for a white cop to be charged with murdering a black man.  In the normal order of things, white cops do not get charged with murdering black men.  It is an extreme anomaly.

You're dragging god into every thread kicking and screaming. That story is about a murder and about time that one of these uniformed thugs get's at least indicted. If it floats the mothers boat to thank god, who are you to make it an offense?

Your speech policing borders on obsession.

The idea of a cop being charged with anything, much less murder, is practically a miracle. Which is pretty sad. I'd vote for someone running for president on the platform of fixing the police departments.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

And it only happened because the video did not back up the bullshit story he made up.
