    We need to talk about white people reporting “suspicious activity” of black people out of pure malice as well. It’s a real phenomenon that needs to be addressed in tandem with police violence.

      Happen to me today though the person was obvious in their reporting and I laughed at her ignorant ass and ignored it. I’m a realtor and often take pictures of homes for inspections. First when we made eye contact I smiled at the nosey neighbor she frowned pulled her dog two houses away. Whipped out her phone and proceeded to call in about me.  I ignored her and went about my business. Heard her cancel her call when the other realtor showed up seconds later and obviously knew me. Yeah the second neighbor looked like her.

      I agree, but what separates those with malicious intent from those who are just ignorant enough to believe black people are always up to no good? I misplaced my car in the big bulk shopping store parking lot the other day. I was tired, had a headache, and a million things on my mind, so I forgot where the hell I parked. It took much longer than it should have to find my car cause I found myself doing everything I could to telegraph what I was doing, so none of those white folks would find my black ass *walking in a parking lot* suspicious. I even took out my keys and repeatedly pushed the alarm on/off button, while pointing it in every direction. Even though I know the battery in the transmitter is depleted. It is BULLSHIT that we often have to go to such lengths to show that we are harmless.

    “And Parrish noted that the charge may be revisited at another time.”

    ie, “You best not cause trouble for us”

    Get ready for about a 19% sales tax to pay off this and other settlements, people of Mesquite.

      This^. Settlements for police misconduct MUST come from their retirement fund or the officers themselves. Otherwise why would they change their behavior?? Hit them hard in the wallet. Shit, just pull it right out of their budget, whatever it takes...

    Where is the video? Must be backing up his side of the story because it would have leaked out by now. Since it was his truck and they didn’t find anything illegal now is the slow motion crawl to drop charges. Like they were doing him a favor, you can’t “break and enter” in regards to your own property.

    Some times in the heat of the moment I just really need to finger someone’s butt, and if they argue there’s little to do but shoot them.

    I mean, we’ve all been there I’m sure.

    “The attorneys said Jones was trying to explain the situation when he was shot once in the abdomen and was attacked by several officers who attempted to perform an “anal cavity search.”

    So even the most dedicated of cop-defenders should look at this one and ask a question or two.

    1: Shot a scary black guy breaking into a truck - Check!

    2: Brave defenders of the law subdue said scary black guy - Check!

    3: Gut shot scary black guy placed in handcuffs - Check!

    4: Scary black guy’s anus checked for contraband - Che... whut?

    “Mesquite police are refuting claims that they violated any of Jones’ rights...”

    Unless you’re deliberately taking the police’s side in this, kindly look up the difference between “rebut” and “refute.” It’s in the AP Stylebook and every dictionary.

      “unless you’re deliberately taking the police’s side on this”, that’s a hell of a claim to make. Maybe you need to consult the dictionary and a thesaurus first yourself before telling others to.

    The US should consider establishing a fine for waste of public service like in Ireland and the UK. Some will consider twice before calling if their racism start costing them money.

      whilst i agree...... you know if the us does that.. they’ll just charge whom ever they shot and arrested for wasting their time and resources by failing to be guilty of anything....

    “Resisting arrest” = “getting shot by cops with no provocation and not dying.”

    Blacks have No Problem committing 90+% of all crime, but when it comes time to pay those dues back to modern society, They fail to recognize their Wrong-Doings and Crimes Committed.

    Blacks Love to create false narratives in hopes these False Narratives will snowball into Leftist Media.

    ..Here are just a few of the False Narratives that Never Existed and Built on False Fabricated Stories and Supported By Lies..

    -Black Lives Matter

    -Hands Up Dont Shoot

    -Black Victimization

    Seriously, What do blacks really think about Whites?

    If the black people Truly knew what the average white family talks about around the house and supper table, your skin would turn White :)
