I'm not sure I'd trust our fine reporters to realize the intricacies of suspect vs perpetrator

I mean I'm all for making dumb jokes about this, I just think it's silly to go "idiot cops obviously that's him!" based on zero evidence

-nowhere does the witness identify anyone

y'all are a drat lynch mob

A. they ran ballistics at the scene and were convinced it wasn't the gun? Very interesting stuff. I didn't know that beat officers were capable of doing that. :rolleyes:

B. An unarmed black man gets shot in the street and the armed white man who shot him is released at the scene, but we, random internet posters who think this looks lovely and haven't advocated violence or even convicted anyone, are a drat lynch mob? You got some hosed up views, boy.

"the fact that authorities say that this was the guy and he turned in the gun he used to do it is zero evidence" you need to get checked out for a concussion

If by "harder to get a concealed carry permit," you mean it's a minor inconvenience to have to meet with the county sheriff for an in-person interview, then sure

How else would the sheriff know the applicant is not black?

y'all are arguing from the assumption that this guy did it based on 1 news article

they held him overnight, and in a department as large as NO, that should be plenty of time to run ballistics, and then they released him so this probably ain't the guy I'm sorry

Look, we don't know poo poo. Maybe the entire NOLA police department is full of overt racists, maybe this guy has mob ties and they're letting him go to get the bigger fish, maybe he's got nothing to do with it

24 hours to run a ballistics test?

No. This isn't NCIS, New Orleans. Scott Bacula didn't arrest this man.

Yes, all of the officers probably did have rad Cajun accents.

Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand identified Gasser on Thursday as the man who shot McKnight. The shooting happened about 3 p.m. Thursday in Terrytown, a suburb of New Orleans just across the Mississippi River.

"The only thing we know right now, everything else is conjecture, is that Mr. Gasser did in fact shoot Mr. McKnight," Normand said.

They ran the ballistics

There is no way that the police would just let him go. They know this is a high profile case. I don't think they're that stupid.

1. His release isn't even being mentioned by ESPN
2. Have you seen the outcomes of literally any other high-profile white-on-black shootings lately?
3. Cops can actually be really stupid

1. Didn't know about that
2. I don't think I can tread in this without it being something I understand. This isn't the case of some random dude getting shot though, this is someone who had a decent amount of good PR.
3. I don't disagree.

The guy was just standing his ground, which, if you look at McKnight's yards after contact, wasn't that difficult.

I just can't believe this Joe McKnight thing isn't dominating NFL headlines right now. But you know, guess it's also important to know that Mark Ingram made it back to practice today, even if in a limited capacity.

I mean, what is there to discuss? Matt Ryan has been a much more productive quarterback than Alex Smith throughout his career. He's had better weapons in the receiving game too, so there's that.
