Media is running with this

Creating words, and putting them in Conservative mouths... apparently the cop was totally in the right. (Except no one is saying this)
I'm pretty sure you're already well versed on the uber-nasty and political bomb-thrower that is Sally Kohn, but it bears mention that this hag is not worth the ones and zeros loaded with venom that she spews.
Expanding upon your point, do you think the media and the other racial provocateurs will credit conservatives for being almost universally in agreement that this was a bad shoot?
Yeah, and monkeys might fly out of my butt.
[...]Finally, what happened to "shoot to wound" instead of "shoot to kill" (other than the obvious answer of, "Dead men don't testify.")? Yes, I realize stress and adrenaline are factors in such situations, and that many people are taught to aim for center-of-mass, but does that preclude a warning shot to a fleeing suspect?
Shoot to wound?
Warning shots?
I hate to sound condescending here, but that's so much Hollyweird myth.
It doesn't apply to a bad shoot, as is obvious here, but it's hard enough to hit a moving, hostile target at all, let alone aim for some magical area that will somehow cause a non-lethal wound (another myth) while at the same time making a perp drop instantly.
It's totally fanciful, courtesy of the same crowd that films ordinary copper jacketed lead core bullets sparking when they strike a hard surface, 1000 rounds fired without a reload from an Uzi, and the famous (and idiotic) tanker trunk explosion scene in "Thelma and Louise."
And, as already mentioned by someone else, "warning shots" have to go somewhere, maybe just into a tree trunk, or maybe into some innocent bystander a half mile away.
Don't believe the myth.
Ok. So I'm asking in this particular case do you or T. Lex believe that white jurors will let this go because they are white?
An even better question would be why the unanimous opinion right here on INGO that this looks like a bad shoot wouldn't likely correspond to the jurors in SC where this happened, be they white or black?
It's as if people still think this is the Jim Crow South, and that we haven't progressed even slightly since 1964.
Rubbish, all of it, and the sort of crap peddled by fools and those with an agenda to perpetuate.
