SWB: Shopping While Black

[Ifreann]

And, of course, the grand jury chose not to indict. This is a gross miscarriage of justice.

Go, go Gadget Wrongful Death Suit!

To think, the entirety of a department could have been saved from two fuck-ups if they'd just handed them up.

But now the whole department might go because of a civil suit.

Well, no, the town is not going to close down the police department if they lose the suit. The town will have to pay the damages, anyway.

You don't have all the facts, so you can't know.

You don't have all the facts, so you can't know.

What other facts would, in your mind, mitigate the behaviour shown by the police officers in the video?

I'm not on the jury, so I'm not going to make presumptions of innocence or guilt.

And, of course, the grand jury chose not to indict. This is a gross miscarriage of justice.

You don't have all the facts, so you can't know.

And you don't know if we have all the facts, so we don't have the facts, so you don't know if we have all of the facts...

Wait, what was the point again?

[Ifreann]

"LEAVE THE POLICE ALONE!"

[Murkwood]

And you don't know if we have all the facts, so we don't have the facts, so you don't know if we have all of the facts...

Wait, what was the point again?

You aren't on the jury, so it's extremely unlikely for you to know if Justice has been served or not.

How do you know Mavorpen isn't on the jury?

[Murkwood]

How do you know Mavorpen isn't on the jury?

That's too unlikely to be given any thought.

That wasn't what I asked.

[Freiheit Reich]

what the fucking fuck marinated in fuck sauce this makes me so angry

watch the language, try to be more civil

[Ifreann]

How do you know Mavorpen isn't on the jury?

That's too unlikely to be given any thought.

But the possible existence of some fact or facts that excuses the police officers' actions is likely enough to be given consideration?

[The Rich Port]

There's nothing fucking civil about any of this shit.

[Murkwood]

That's too unlikely to be given any thought.

But the possible existence of some fact or facts that excuses the police officers' actions is likely enough to be given consideration?

Since the grand jury acquitted him, yes.

[Murkwood]

There's nothing fucking civil about any of this shit.

Staying civil during a trial involving race is actually a pretty good thing to do.

Why are you writing off the possibility of a miscarriage of justice?

[The Rich Port]

'Cuz juries never make mistakes, obvi.

[Murkwood]

You aren't on the jury, so it's extremely unlikely for you to know if Justice has been served or not.

You aren't on the jury, so it's extremely unlikely for you to know if I know if justice has been served or not.

I'm not saying if Justice has been served or not. I'm just saying that neither you nor I can know.

[Murkwood]

Since the grand jury acquitted him, yes.

Why are you writing off the possibility of a miscarriage of justice?

I'm not writing that off. I'm doing the opposite. I'm saying that the jury acquitted him, so obviously they were convinced by something. Maybe that's right, maybe that not. We can't know either way.

I'm not saying if Justice has been served or not. I'm just saying that neither you nor I can know.

So these magical facts haven't been released to the public in order to head off these protests and the opinion that the police force is at best incompetent and at worst racist because what? The local justice services like doing their job on hard mode?

[Mavorpen]

You aren't on the jury, so it's extremely unlikely for you to know if I know if justice has been served or not.

I'm not saying if Justice has been served or not. I'm just saying that neither you nor I can know.

And since you weren't on the jury you can't know whether I know.

It's seriously like you're intentionally missing my point.

[Ifreann]

Why are you writing off the possibility of a miscarriage of justice?

I'm not writing that off. I'm doing the opposite. I'm saying that the jury acquitted him,

I don't think declining to indict is the same as acquittal.

so obviously they were convinced by something. Maybe that's right, maybe that not. We can't know either way.

So thread over, I guess. Let's all go home and never criticise the police again, guys.
