I wasn't talking about the actress. It appeared that you were posting to bolster the notion that people were jumping to conclusions with respect to the Ferguson situation.

But lol at the hand wringing over someone on the internet calling someone a racist. Heavens to Betsey!

What confuses me about that case is that they didn't arrest the dude and then dropped all charges, even though there are apparently a bunch of witnesses and photographic evidence of these people ****ing on the street in broad daylight?

I get the feeling that none of the witnesses came forward at the scene and talked to the cops. It was TMZ that uncovered the evidence. Given the minor charges, her big name and the press going crazy with the racial stereotyping allegations the PR move was to drop the charges then to double down by sending more officers out to gather statements or other evidence.

Without video or the cops seeing it, they'd not only have to get signed statements from witnesses, if it went to court witnesses would have to be subpoena'd and testify in court.

Not too suprising they'd let them go if there weren't a very insistent complainant.

They showed up and nothing was happening. The reason she got cuffed was because she freaked out about showing ID when asked and he didn't. My impression is dude was cooperative the whole time and she wasn't which led to the scene. Seems to have backfired since people turned the pics over later, after letting her weave the sob story.

Sadly I guess this is the attitude leftists have adapted to after years of labeling everyone they disagree with a racist, sexist, homophobe, etc.

I'm going to have to post the Stewart Lee 'political correctness gone mad' for the third time this week

The irony in this post is truckonfire.jpg levels.

You have proven that you at least have no clue what racism is and I feel pretty safe assuming that you don't know what sexism or homophobia are either, so while I can see how someone like you might think the above, your opinion is completely irrelevant on these matters and your perceptions of them don't reflect reality in any way.

Not sure it backfired. One the headlines was about racial stereotyping and not 911 call said actress having sex in public. Most of the papers who ran that story have not run any redaction or correction. Two, the cops had to take her in and if not maybe would have actually talked to witnesses. Which could have lead to charges, though I suppose they still could charge her.

The initial articles I read had the fact that people called in about a lewd act in there. The cops on TV explained it that way too when referring to why she had to show ID in that circumstance.

It's gonna backfire now when people on your side start calling you out. Maybe not in any real way but it'll certainly follow her in some sense.

Tmz also has the full audio from the encounter, the cop was wearing a mic. Cop was professional in this instance and she pretty much got hysterical. He never mentioned race or implied he thought she was a prostitute. He said he was simply responding to a complaint about lewd conduct on the street.

Although I must say, the TMZ photos really don't clearly prove they were having sex either. She could have just been making out with him. Doesn't mean that race had anything to do with this incident either way.

Welp, we've got a confirmed case wrongfully accused racism, shut the whole thing down. Cops are perfect, we all love each other, and Mike Brown is free to some some cigars, because he's not dead.

Good times.

I am waiting until all the facts come in. How many white women would be arrested in that same situation, I just dont know so it could be anything, maybe zero.

They evaluated the evidence from only one side of the story, and as a result they arrived at the wrong conclusion.

Independent witnesses and the autopsy being "on one side" is pretty ****ing conclusive to guilt or innocence!

He's still thumping his chest about the actress. He sure pwned some liberals who suspected the cop might have been out of line and dared to voice as much before ALL the facts have come out (and, obviously, once facts supporting Geaux's side have come out, then we have absolutely all of them).

LOL, so what facts do you believe we do not have to properly evaluate the police officers response?

The problem with the whole thing, is the liberal press pretty well ran with the cop was "out of line" before even trying to gather the facts. They were intent on broadcasting Watts side, with little or no regard for the truth. There is no question the 911 call reported a crime, the officer had every right to investigate and ID those involved or matching the description of those involved. This was pretty well apparent at the very beginning.

Yet there are still liberals who seem to still want to imply the cop may have done something wrong and like there could still be some evidence out there.

How do you know there aren't more facts that could come out? Whatever-her-name-is hasn't even gone to trial yet. None of the statements you're evaluating are sworn testimony. Plus, there could be other witnesses (from across the street, say) who might tell a different story.

lol wookie is mad.

Seems like he's just mocking a certain position.

Seems like he is fine with those in the press pushing an agenda as long as it is his agenda.

You haven't even heard the press's side as to whether or not they're pushing an agenda, yet you conclude they've rammed that throbbing agenda right down your throat.

I don't read much liberal media so not sure what folks were saying exactly but CNN and MSNBC both had law enforcement types on saying she had to give over her id because they suspected a crime happened since they got called. Not sure what agenda that is pushing but maybe you can explain?
