WTF is this shit? This country is a joke.

Without hyperbole, yes indeed, the entire country is a joke. Several new jokes every day for well over a year now.

 

[Frozenprince]

THIS IS WHAT COLIN KAEPERNICK WAS KNEELING FOR YOU DUMB STUPID ASS FUCKING BIGOTS.

God.

This country makes me ashamed.

 

[excelsiorlef]

A magistrate, not the police department, issued the warrant, although a news release said police officers had verified other video that led to the arrest. Harris is accused of attacking a man in the group that beat him.

Ain't just the police.

It's the whole justice system

 

[Za-Neen-Jya]

My entire faith in this country is revolving around how this turns out.

 

[The Kree]

Tell me why I shouldn't hate cops.

 

[Temeculan3000]

Holy fuck.

In what world could you say a dude being beaten with weapons, by multiple people, was not only justified, but the person attacked deserves to be arrested?

He threw a punch so I guess that's enough.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Reading between the lines I guess they have video evidence Harris started or appeared to start the fight before they ganged up on him?

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

I had to read this a few times to make sure I wasn't hallucinating.....WHAT THE FUCK

 

[Angelus Errare]

Coates was right.

 

[Johndoey]

Fuck. What is there to even say at this point? The man was the victim of a brutal attack and he's the one getting fucked. America 2017.

 

[Skellig Gra]

This is a new low. I’m sorry for my race. Not that it makes a difference.

 

[zeemumu]

At first I thought finally as if it was one of the guys that assaulted. Then I realized it was the reverse. How the fuck.

Same. I did a double take and went "wait, what? How?!"

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I literally started back on depression medication (Wellbutrin) because of this year. I'm 100% serious.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

fucking pigs.

 

[Mr. X]

It's not self defense if you're black is the charge I assume?

 

[Maxim726X]

Uhh... What?

Has he done something that I'm not aware of?

You know, besides getting beaten by fucking white supremacists.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Ummm, what?

 

[III-V]

CPD is disgraceful every step of the way.

 

[____]

Make America Great Again.

 

[Temeculan3000]

Uhh... What?

Has he done something that I'm not aware of?

You know, besides getting beaten by fucking white supremacists.

There is a video of him (presumably) taking a swing at someone just prior to him getting beat.

Given the circumstances it seems like quite a stretch to charge him.

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

Self-defense while being black is a crime, it would seem...ugh.

 

[Dog Problems]

This is some anger-inducing crap.

 

[.Detective.]

America, you have become a dumpster of moral and logical bankruptcy

 

[FUME5]

Get fuuuuuuuuucked.

 

[PsychoSoldier]

Any black people who still love this country y'all better people than me.

 

[Instro]

Did his attackers get charged with anything?

 

[Ogodei]

CPD is disgraceful every step of the way.

Those Nazi fuckers killed two of their own and they'll gladly go to bat for their asses.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

America, you have become a dumpster of moral and logical bankruptcy

we've always been that way

 

[AnotherNils]

Well, now we know what they were doing instead of looking for his attackers.

 

[Lonewulfeus]

Reading between the lines I guess they have video evidence Harris started or appeared to start the fight before they ganged up on him?

Even still, these same people were initially hesitant to arrest the people who beat him with weapons and split his head open. Even though we don't know what happened before hand I think we can all agree that Deandre Harris did not viciously beat anyone with a pipe so where is the hesitation now? The evidence can not possibly as cut and dry as the evidence from his assault but this is something they are willing to pursue with no pressure from the public? Smells rotten as fuck

 

[Pizza]

You don’t issue an arrest warrant to bring them in for questioning...

Believe me, I'm aware. Fuck this.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

WHAT THE FUCK

 

[Lowmelody]

Fuck America

 

[Maxim726X]

There is a video of him (presumably) taking a swing at someone just prior to him getting beat.

Given the circumstances it seems like quite a stretch to charge him.

Huh.

And the neo-nazis who ganged up on him and fucking beat him senseless? They're cool?

 

[Enzom21]

Did his attackers get charged with anything?

Yes but no thanks to the shit cops in Charlottesville. They were protecting their own.

 

[Breads]

Gonna have to add being beaten on film by a bunch of white supremacists onto the list.

Fuck this country.

 

[Madness]

Unlawful wounding of a white man by a negro I think is the issue here.

Look at him unlawfully wounding them...

 

[EekumBokum]

Most of the shit that happens in this country no longer surprises me, but this is just... wow.

 

[Kaako]

The audacity of these fucking vampires. What a soulless and broken nation we are, in almost every fucking way imaginable.

 

[Lowmelody]

There truly is no hope for this country, none.

 

[Frozenprince]

Why is it we're just hearing this now?

You don't think given how that image was plastered fucking EVERYWHERE that the white supremacist trolls on 4chan and whatever other slime pit they hide in wouldn't show whatever "evidence" they had to discredit Deandre being fucking beaten half to death for being black?

No way in hell. This is all the justice system hiding behind the fact that they failed this young man being beaten half to death within 30 feet of them.

 

[FTF]

...EXCUSE ME?!?

 

[Random Painted HIghway]

This video better be damning and clear.

 

[Marvie_3]

What the fuck

 

[Mahonay]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME.

I guess the justice system down there is just an extension of the KKK.

 

[Temeculan3000]

Huh.

And the neo-nazis who ganged up on him and fucking beat him senseless? They're cool?

Seriously. Even if you make the argument that he started it (which is a stretch bc there were fights and scuffles all over that day involving multiple people), what neo-nazis were doing was so far beyond "self defense" it's not even funny.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Need to see this video.

 

[Lowmelody]

There is no "starting it" when it comes to lynching for fuck sakes.

 

[Temeculan3000]

Need to see this video.

This I think

[Count Dookkake]

Huh.
