Not as you've articulated it.

It's not a hate crime if you kill a black person and happen to be prejudiced.

You have to commit the crime against them because you are MOTIVATED by bias. As in, "look, let's frick with the black dude".

If your reason for assuming he was a robber was partially because you assume black people might commit crimes, that's not a hate crime.

It might not be a good thing. It's just not a hate crime.

You can't really see what is going on in front of the pickup until after the first shot is fired to say that, but from what I can see it doesn't look like he tried to take the gun until after it was fired


Huh? From what I see, the guy waited a really long time to fire while the man was trying to take it from him.

These guys are law enforcement? Now I'm sure I'm missing something with this story.
Happened Feb 23 and these guys still haven't been charged by LE.

Also, LE did not show the video to the family...instead simply telling the victim's family that their murdered son was involved in a robbery.

You can bet your arse if there was no video showing what it shows that these assholes wouldn't have even gone to the grand jury - like they are finally doing.

ETA: the older perp is former LE with cozy ties to the DA.

I just watched the news video on the first page, and I don't think it shows the full video.

Here's a link with more of the video: LINK

Are you missing the first shot? There were 3 shots

Good question. Someone appears to have leaked it.

Shittily enough, until recently the GBI wasn’t investigating the crime. They hadn’t been asked to. They had been asked to investigate the leak of the video.

I did. I hear it now. It's unfortunate that we can't see what was going on at that point.

Those two rednecks should be put in jail for being stupid.

Probably because of the dad being a retired investigator. At least one A has recused himself, and I believe maybe even a DA from the next county over because of the dad's connections

It really doesn't make a lot of sense for them to be following him around with their guns drawn. I could understand calling the cops and staying near to him until they arrive so you can tell them where he is, but you don't need to hold the guy at gunpoint.

Damn I can't wait until Biden wins and Black Lives Matter becomes a thing again. You know why they went away after Obama left office? Because the government stopped funding them.

And they weren’t wearing their normal African American hunting uniforms either.

Come on man. No one jogs in khakis with a belt on. Especially not if you're not going to tighten the belt so the shorts don't fall off.

I'd have been suspicious of someone dressed like that running around in my neighborhood after recent break-ins, regardless of their race.

This board has a Q thread that is thousands of posts deep. This board can fill you in - with confidence - on the excruciating details of nearly every single deep state conspiracy under the sun. This board even likes to pretend it's afraid of LE after the events of the shutdown.

But show them a simple case of a trigger happy baw who used to be LE and actually worked with/for the DA who got out over his skis and killed a citizen, and how the case somehow gets buried - including a video of extreme relevance - and all of a sudden we're just gosh darned confused about everything!

Unfortunately, the video doesn't really show us much. It shows just enough for everyone to draw the conclusion they want to make from it, but not enough to prove what happened on the other side of the truck. I don't know how they convict the guy if he and his career-investigator father both testify that it was a good shoot.

ETA: If they both say the guy ran at him and that's when he shot him, well...the video doesn't disprove that.
