C'mon, white people can care about black lives too. That's a virtue.

Yeah but Asian people are politically invisible.

Interesting, @Mik. Do you agree with Malcolm X's assessment as articulated in the video? Which "team" are you on in his "football" metaphor?

This is a good case in point about how pop culture ideas matter. Malcolm X articulated what it took me 25+ years to figure out. Because what he said is not only not taught, it is ashamedly concealed with shrugs and smiles and promises of social status.

Interesting development.

I saw release the proceedings. If there's one thing we've learned, it's that BLM will engage in a civil debate based on facts and reason.

I don’t know if it’s true or not, but a twitter commenter said the same thing happened after Darren Wilson’s grand jury in Ferguson, but the records weren’t released and it didn’t go anywhere.

I was watching a clip from The View and one of the women hosts, apparently with some background as a prosecutor, lamented that since a DA can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, it was obvious that the Louisville DA wasn't even trying.

As if to indict the officers no matter the facts would have been a good and necessary thing.

It would be really something if there was no initial gunshot from inside the house. We have a right to know the truth.

The boyfriend admits he fired (maybe even first) but says it was a warning shot into the floor.

Well, since the officers were carrying .40 cals and the cop who was shot had a 9mms bullet hole, the boyfriend's statement might be a little short of the Truth.

And another thing...Since she was shot six times, collapsing in the hallway, wonder if boyfriend was using her as a shield?
