Also, isn't leaking someone's juvenile records like one of those things that like as bad as being caught destroying evidence? Something that will basically piss a judge off and make them never give you the benefit of doubt during trial?

Ah, but there's no way to tell who did it, that's the beauty of it! No one in the department will talk, they'll all claim the fifth, and the case will get thrown out (as if one would actually be brought).


Also, the people arguing about "why would you bring your children to this", the proper response is "this is a loving neighbourhood, where these people live, where else do you want them to go? Should people just not bring their children outside while the police are "protecting" them? Even when the police launch a surprise "protection" hours before they said they were going to?"

It's like seriously wtf.

Well, he at least vaguely did... but only after first reinforcing the bullshit victim-blaming police story about violent negro rioters. Has there been any evidence whatsoever of any of that happening, at all? Not counting the McDonald's that was "looted" for medicinal supplies after citizens were tear gassed.

No. In fact, the only evidence of molotov cocktails and guns have been due to white people getting arrested.

One of the pundits on MSNBC made the point that Obama has been hesitant to call out entire police forces since he did it to the Cambridge MA cops during the Henry Louis Gates scandal early on in his first term. He faced scrutiny after he did it then.

He's stopped dying it recently so it's always grey.

He's lost his train of thought for a second or two multiple times already though.
