A white police officer in North Charleston, S.C., was charged with murder Tuesday after shooting and killing a black man following a routine traffic stop over the weekend. [More]

I read this intro and my first thought was "Are these idiots trying to start a race war?"

Hell of a way to deal with a traffic infraction, isn't it?  Way to make half of this guy's point for him.

It looks like the "Only One" in question is merely continuing with a reinforced-by-experience expectation that this is how things are done. In terms of the "Authorized Journalists" pouring fuel on the fire, yes, you bet they are, not only to magnify a story, but to serve an agenda.  Funny how that agenda includes "Only Ones."

You know what we need to stop this? Laws that make mere mundanes recording these things illegal!

And then there's this:

“It wasn't just based on the officers’ word anymore,” said Chris Stewart, an attorney for Scott’s family. “People were believing this story.”

I just don't grok how in this day and age there can still be dolts with a default setting that favors the uniform.  They're no doubt the same ones sporting this bumper sticker.
