Activist Shaun King set off a storm on twitter about it that brought death threats to the Trooper and his family


Question for the legal experts:

Can King be sued or prosecuted for slander or libel for these actions?

It's amazing to me. They've busted a few shitty cops in Baltimore, but overall, BLM is on the losing end of 99% of cases.

In my opinion, it's truly amazing how honest and professional American law enforcement personnel really is.

Hold the outrage for two seconds. The lady that was arrested was the one that made the false claims to her lawyer. The lawyer raised the issue with DPS, as he should have, and then made a public disclosure that the clients claims were false. The lawyer was lied to by the client. Not really his fault and he didn’t do anything wrong unless it turns out he got the civil rights race baiter involved.

The one at fault here is the bitch that made up the lies. She needs to go to jail for this.

I can’t believe I am up in here defending a lawyer.

Title needs to be changed. Lawyer and lady that got arrested are two different people.

I was wondering this too. I'd love to see him sued into bankruptcy.

He hasn't posted any sort of retraction.

I'd sue the shite out of Shaun King and make him post and then repost a public retraction until it reached 80,000 likes, re-tweets, etc.

People like him are a 21st century version of someone yelling fire in a crowded building.

I hope stuff like this keeps happening.

Obviously you feel bad for the trooper and his family, but it is for the greater good.

did any of you read the whole article?

the lawyer isn’t the one that was involved. HE (as in the lawyer is a dude) is just the one that issues the public apology after seeing the evidence that his client lied.

There have been a LOT more videos, at least that I have seen, where someone lies about a cop than bad cops.

Then you have jerk offs like Shaun King and Gravy that jump to Facebook, get everyone riled up then just delete it once it's proven they are wrong....AGAIN

yeah, the thread title is misleading. no issue with the lawyer assuming he hadn't seen the video, he has to rely on his client.

the woman should still face jail time.

Black Attorney says Texas Trooper rapes her, body cam released and apologizes for lying


The attorney was lied to by this woman. The woman isn't an attorney. Lee Merrit is the lawyer and is male.

The headline for the article is poorly worded, but the attorney isn't the bad guy here. He fought for a client who lied to him.

There needs to be legislation that makes this sort of thing a felony.

These body cams seem to be having the opposite of the desired effect for the communitah.

quote:

Hours after her arrest, well-known civil rights activist Shaun King wrote on Facebook and Twitter, “This woman was kidnapped and raped by a Texas State Trooper.” King included a detailed explanation of the claims as explained by Cole and her attorney, Lee Merritt.

King's posts accusing the state trooper of sexual assault were shared on social media nearly 80,000 times. They have since been deleted.
