I didn’t just make up the fact that she was armed with a knife. That info was out there before the body camera was shown.
Sometimes I don’t get you. It’s sad you literally need things spelled out. The media would like nothing more that to report a white cop shot an unarmed black teen girl minutes after the Chauvin trial ended. The fact that not a single preliminary description of the event used the word “unarmed” was about as clear-cut as you can get these days that the media knew she was armed when she was shot. They just didn’t want to be the ones to say it. As it turns out, she was significantly worse than just armed. She was actively trying to stab two females in front of the police.
The white supremacists made her do it. Beneath agency, above reproach.
Sounds like a Tucker Carlson “I’m just asking a question” conspiracy theory
The police said to wait for details, some people respect the police and will do what they ask. Then they provided an update. Speculation that is “out there” is not of value.
Police are also still trying to gather additional background information, the plea is in the press conference you linked.
There were not reporters at the scene during the event. Nor did they have early access to the footage, and the police didn’t release special information to them first. Claiming they were excluding information they didn’t have as part of some nefarious plot seems pretty shaky.
Faux deal
What exactly are you trying to say? I was speculating when I said she was armed with a knife before any of us saw the video? I just got lucky?
I assure you that is not the case. 1) like I said before, you could read between the lines of the narrative driven media and conclude she was armed. 2) if you bothered to look, there were reports out there that a knife was found next to her, but she dropped it before she was shot. Piece those two together and voila! I could have gone even further and said that police were called there because she was threatening to stab people (which was also surmisable from some reports), but I wasn’t ready to go that far because some outlets actually reported falsely that she called 911 on the girls she attacked, so that part was still unclear before the news conference.
Either way, my point was that I did not get lucky when I made the claim I made. I didn’t expect you to believe it without further evidence but I do wish you could acknowledge the extreme bias in so much of our narrative driven media. Their shitty reporting leaving out known facts is what led you out over your skis in posting the story in the first place thinking you were getting the scoop on another unjustified police killing and making us Republicans look like fools for supporting the police.
NPR - “Columbus Police Shoot And Kill Black, Teenage Girl”, with the first sentence emphasizing the Whiteness (=guilt) of the cop.
If they were trying to restore some national calm after the verdict, it could have been titled
“White cop saves two Black teens from crazed knife-wielding attacker”
Nah, without BLM’s never ending demands, they might have to cover the current administration’s policy outcomes, and they definitely don’t want to do that.
“A year after a Connecticut company was awarded almost $1.3 billion in federal loans and contracts to supply an essential syringe for the Covid-19 vaccine rollout, no syringes have been made. The syringe hasn’t received even the first of a series of approvals it needs from the federal government before it can be manufactured, and a factory promising 650 jobs remains unbuilt.”
The desire of the media and the health experts that were wrong all last year to smear Trump after the unbelievable success of operation Warp Speed is so transparent. They were wrong on all accounts during the vaccine development and they can’t stand that the Trump administration saved millions of lives. So they simply refuse to honestly report on it, or on their own failed predictions. Which is why you get stories like the one you just posted about one of the minor elements of Warp Speed not working out. Yet buried in that story is the real reason that they money was wasted - we listened to “experts” that turned out to be wrong Supply chain headache? Hundreds of millions of syringes will be needed to vaccinate U.S.
Here’s a sampling of the stories I have yet to see the media and experts return to and offer any sort of mea culpa. Not that I ever expect that to happen when it comes to something Trump did right:
https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/18/health/trump-coronavirus-vaccine-april-promise-bn/index.html
As folks on this board have already pointed out, their is significant evidence that the news of the vaccine’s approval was delay until after the election because no one wanted to chance it helping Trump get reelected. I think the announcement that we have met Trump’s April claim after the media and experts said it couldn’t be done is more evidence that scenario isn’t very farfetched.
But Trump said it was a hoax, no one should wear a mask, it’s not real, it will be over by Easter 2020, and 11 Americans would die.
So did other experts and politicians on the other side of the aisle. Your point?
Did you notice he was lying?
There are also plenty of other examples of Trump administration corruption. Pretending it’s not corruption is not a valid point.
Lel. Pfizer was not developed by Warp Speed. Warp Speed was congressional allocated funds for the specific purpose. Sure, in maga-land Trump developed vaccines while funneling millions of taxpayer dollars to himself at Mar a lago.
Why are you selectively referencing the April prognostication? (Which is still incorrect, maybe July or so on current progress, and that’s with a much condensed timeline due to successful efforts of the new administration. The Trump quote you reference is everyone would be vaccinated by April, NOT that states would fail to convince Maga anti- vaxxers in high risk groups to get vaccinated so they would have to open eligibility early. Though it is great the new admin has been able to speed up production. ) Trump also earlier claimed everyone would be vaccinated by mid 2020.
Yes all are eligible now. That’s not the same as everyone already been vaccinated.
The question is why you selectively picked the April Trump promise “as proof he was right” when he also promised basically every other month covering multiple years.
Well, really it’s obvious why you did so… so maybe the more relevant question is if you were intentionally being deceptive or just ignorant, having conveniently “forgotten” the other 50 incorrect “predictions”.
Because the media and experts predicted we would not be at a stage that every adult was eligible by April and wrote about it (because they did not want to be optimistic while there was still a chance Trump could be reelected).
No, that’s not at all what you linked said. (At least comparing to the titles of the old articles you hand picked, I didn’t go read them all). Being eligible to schedule a vaccination is NOT the same as being vaccinated already.
The shortest timelines currently is still maybe July or so, assuming we can convince enough covidiots to get vaccinated.
Trump also made various other nonsense timeline claims every week throughout the year. That one of 100 is randomly not absurd while the other 99 are completely bogus is not evidence of “everyone else being wrong to question the brilliant mob leader.”
"
President Trump said on July 18, “We expect to have 100 million doses of vaccine available before the end of the year and maybe much sooner than that.”
…
On October 26, the President said, “We will deliver 100 million doses of a safe vaccine before the end of the year, and maybe quite a bit sooner than that.”
"
No, because living in an imaginary world where vaccines are guaranteed by before the end of 2020 and rolling back public health measures prematurely based on these flawed assumptions contributed to the additional unnecessary deaths of 100ks of Americans, undermined national security, and created unnecessarily large economic losses.
I wonder if BLM will talk about this incident from 5.6 miles down the road that happened at the exact same time a white male police officer was saving two black females.
Kidding. Right?
Good acts by police which help black people do NOT fit the BLM narrative at all.
