    I've said it over and over again, the story linked in the OP asks the question in the headline.........Who was Jonathan Lewis?
    I can't believe you guys object to anything said in my first post yet you allow threads like the one I am linking here go unquestioned. Check out the OP's comment. The difference is the starter of that thread is politically aligned with you folks complaining about me.

    Cop who shot college football player resigns after racist text messages are exposed

    Now that is how you start a racist thread.

    So what do you think was racist about the OP you linked? The thread is about a racist cop. That doesn't make the thread racist.

    And noticeably absent is any gratuitous inclusion of race as prohibited by the rules.

    This really isn't difficult.

    The cop's texts showed that the cop is a racist. It's not racist to call a racist a racist.

    The scumbag cop was an admitted racist who said he hated black people, I called him a scumbag racist cop. What’s the issue?

    Well that’s the point of a forum like this, to find stories that may have gone under the radar and post them for discussion. You did so with this story (mainly because the victim was white and the perpetrators were black) and now everyone is aware of the story. Why are you still upset?

    Since you brought it up, I can ask you the same question about the cop story: Why didn’t any major news media source report on this scumbag racist cop shooting someone?

    I didn't say your post was racist. I said it was political. You whined about it not getting covered in the media because a gun wasn't involved and the victim was white. Instead of just posting about a tragedy you inserted your political/social agenda into it.

    This thread has greatly increased my admiration for Special Ed teachers everywhere. Their patience and dedication in working with children with learning difficulties is an inspiration.

    Certainly lots of posts on here politicize events that aren’t inherently political. Making the first sentence about why we haven’t heard of Lewis, your OP must be counted among them. Not a big deal as we all do it, but it is the case that you did it here.

    As someone with a well deserved reputation of neutrality and being non controversial here, let me interject.

    you are all pretty!

    Now, let’s take a puppy break and be thankful for Basketball season.

    A prime example of your stupid bias on the subject......You constantly post about me and my posts. I steered clear of that thread because I knew no matter what I said I was going to be criticized by the likes of you. If I see a story about a cop who does something I consider racist I don't defend him.....Now if a cop puts a knee on a fentanyl addict scumbags neck while trying to restrain him after he has committed a crime and resisted arrest I might defend that cop. Especially if it appears the scumbag thug didn't die from the knee.

    Nah you steered clear of it because the scumbag racist cop was caught and happily admitting being racist in crystal clear 4K, which gave you no angle to sneak in and defend him. Now had those texts never been revealed, you would’ve vehemently defended his honor as just another poor officer who is the victim LOL.

    At least Special ed children can blame their learning difficulties on their age. Grown ass adults in their 60s not being able to comprehend simple concepts is just embarrassing.

    Obviously like most subjects you don't know squat about learning disabilities.

    I’m not the one struggling to understand why this thread is race bait.
