actually paul I do know how to spell.
“THERE” refers to a place and “THEIR” is possesive.
You look it up, I am in the right.It’s ok for us to have help with college, t.v. stations. I mean, I don’t have anything in common with the show”friends”.

Why did it take 14 days to arrest him? They had plenty of evidence, witnesses & video. If I had shot Grant, with eye witnesses + video, the cops would’ve arrested my ass at the next stop. Allegedly? Is that a joke? I swear if Mehserle gets off on a technicality or isn’t found guilty all hell is going to break loose during this time of economic hardship, people are broke, frustrated & aren’t putting up with shit anymore.

What do you expect to happen to thugs. One down 23 million to go and all the towels with them. While America is a pacifist nation as a whole, we can kill,maim,and destroy with the best of them. Keep pushing us.

Yeah, Michelle, black people just can’t get a fair shake. Black-only colleges, black only scholarships, Equal Employment Opportunity hiring programs in place, sensitivity training in most workplace settings throughout the country, B E T channel, NAACP, ACLU, the Black Caucus, lowered A.C.T. and SAT standards for black high school age children. Yeah, I feel your pain.

Wait, no I don’t. Suppose we had a whites-only college, white entertainment channel, whites only tabloid trash magazine, Special Interest groups for the ‘Advancement of Caucasian People.’ Oh yeah, America did have a similar type of program in the early-mid 20th Century. It was the KKK and other white supremacist groups. Disappointed to see the American people haven’t learned a thing from that sad chapter, time in our history. The only thing that’s changed is the races involved today. i.e. the aforementioned special interest groups, as well as La Raza, et al.

A junior Chicago politician with the thinnest of resumes, though a large, unanswered shady history, business dealings, won the seat to the most powerful Government seat in the world. That same man, as you put it, ‘Got off’ in answering to his past and recent actions (100’s of millions of dollars raised from overseas donors, 2nd biggest receiver of Fannie, Freddie donations, giving his wife Michelle a 240% raise at her hospital gig when becoming Senator, on and on). Ignorance is indeed bliss..

Your allowing anger to overtake your thoughts when ‘the ignorant white men’ eyeball your daughter is overtaking your common sense and logic. Proven by ‘the white boy hating ‘the’ black man’ garbage.

THERE.. I believe you meant ‘THEIR.’ It’s in BOLD to prove your point and it stood out.

You may not be a ‘hater’ of white people, but your deplorable ‘use’ of the English language by no means furthers your cause, point either..

um, when you have worn your belt for two years, don’t you know what side your taser is on and what side your gun is on? and why didn’t the other officers who were RIGHT THERE stop him. i think it was the case of the white boy hating the black man, so i will shoot him, i’ll get off, i always do. i am not a hater of white people, i despise the ignorant white men who call me a nigger bitch and look at my daughter’s ass when when we go over to THERE side of town to the nice stores.

RE: I Am….

….SICK AND TIRED of cops who can’t tell the difference—by feel—of a taser and a service pistol.

This is either an indication that these police officer are too stupid to be on patrol or an outright lie.

If the glove don’t fit, you must acquit.

One point that probably deserves consideration is the pistol that Mehserle was carrying. Over the years I have read dozens of tales about police officers shooting themselves in the leg with their Glock pistol. Presumably, that was usually not done on purpose.

Was Oscar Grant shot with a Glock? If so, I think that the possibility of an accidental discharge should be considered.

As to why Mehserle would draw his pistol once he had Grant handcuffed on the ground, I have no idea. Maybe there were other things going on that had little to do with Grant that prompted Mehserle to draw his pistol. Was there some other person who threatened Mehserle or some other police officer?

‘Wait for the facts, but know that race will be a factor.’

Kel, why begin your sentence with logic and end it illogically?

I take it the overwhelming majority of black youths incarcerated, affiliated with gangs, produce high percentages of children out of wedlock, 50% of black teenage women have an STD et al.. are other people’s/ races doing?
