      It’s you, the news media, that help to fan the flames of racism my making dumb statements like that!

        So the news media is supposed to ignore the flames of racism still burning across the nation just so it doesn’t fan them?

        You should move to a country with censorship or a state-controlled media if American freedoms are to much for you. The news in such places will constantly tell you how a great and problem free they are. You’ll love it.

          Oh good lord. Marcus’ comment was right on. Yours? Well…sad.

        • HRS134 says:

          Race has nothing to do about being naked and attempting to hurt children. The ethnicity of the officer and suspect are irrelevant. Same race or not, responding officer was threatened by a fleeing suspect and used force necessary.

          Adding race to the report doesn’t change the facts and would be irresponsible reporting. Don’t care what the guy’s race was. He was acting inappropriately, officers intervened, and the suspect attempted to run over the officers with a motor vehicle.

          Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

          “So the news media is supposed to ignore the flames of racism still burning across the nation just so it doesn’t fan them?” ABSOLUTELY.

    • justmyview371 says:

      Some people who want to know if a man of a specific race was shot?

  3. whatcanisay says:

    The cop is going to be charged with shooting an unarmed man!!!

  4. saywhatyouthink says:

    Cops ALWAYS say the driver drove right at them so as to justify shooting at them. I’d bet my bottom dollar this pervert was just trying to get away. Nobody tries to run over a cop. They shot him, probably due to the type of crime he was reported to be attempting.

    Some people are wondering if the guy is another Catholic priest.
