This is where I find you limited in perspective.
You're insisting that your view is the only one worth considering, again.
You don't know if color was a motivator or factor in the killing of Walter Scott yet, none of us do. But, you keep insisting, to no avail, that I shouldn't even have posed a question related to color and that I should instead conform to your comfort level and viewpoint. That's childish, arrogant, and narrow-minded. It's also funny, to me.
Your contention that I'm acquiescing to "spinning" because I posed a question in response to the original thread title is wrong and presumptuous. I've probably posted less about color than anything else, and still YOU keep focusing on what you contend is my undue focus on color. Do you really not see the irony?
Since I don't believe you've managed to make the connection yet, I'll go ahead and explain it to you. Six titled this thread, "Cop Charged with Murder for Killing a Black Man". I made it clear in my first post that I think the cop was charged with murder because he killed an unarmed man by shooting him in the back and then lied and claimed it was self defense, not because of Scott's (or Slager's) race. It's all there on page 1 of this thread.
I acknowledged what Six wrote without getting all worked up about it by sharing my view that the arrest was unrelated to color, and also acknowledged that although I don't believe Scott's color and gender had anything to do with Slager's arrest, they might have been factors in his murder. That possibility, along with several others, should (and will) be questioned during the investigation, whether you like it or not. Your disapproval and attempt to chastise me for the "manner" in which I posed the question is an asinine display of ego-trippin'. But, again, it's amusing, so there's that.
Anyway, you're free to keep insisting that you know my thoughts and intentions and continue being wrong about that -- my own words in this thread contradict your claims. Or, you can re-read what's been posted with a clearer mind and see it for what it is. I'm here either way and will continue to post in the manner I see fit.
