My posts weren't a criticism of what you said, Shane. Just commenting on the overall discussion.
Ah. Fairy nuff.
The interview with Democracy Now where Kenneth Chamberlain Jr. breaks down crying is completely heartbreaking.
eta: Having now read the thread, I see that interview hasn't been posted.

I can only characterize taking the word of police as breathlessly naive. There's a recording of the shooting. The lawyer and the son have seen it/heard it and sued the police to released it to the public, the police refuse to let the public have it. They freaking call him a n--ger while they're murdering him.
No one was saying to do that either. If they were, I wouldn't say to investigate fully so we aren't taking anyone's word as gospel without finding the facts.
This. The son and lawyer claim one thing, the cops claim something else. The stories do not mesh.
To pick which side is guilty at this point is lazy and stupid.
"They freaking call him a n--ger while they're murdering him."
I don't know if those are your words, the son's, or some loose worded comment on the issue. But earlier in this "he said they said" issue they called him the N word before gaining entrance to the house. Either the story's changing or people are getting lazy with their descriptions
