Dr King wishes you would judge the jury based on the content of their character and not the colour of their skin, Ansel.
Is that hard for you to remember?

No matter what she'll get off scot-free cuz in 2016 up is down and right is left.

These cops should figure out the message here: Seattle has no gratitude at all for this kind of policing. There's a lot of cops who think this is a top notch police officer. But not Seattle. So quit. Go work for the kind of city that wants a Cynthia Whitlatch out there doing that every day. Quit. Go where you're wanted, and appreciated.

He better win. If he doesn't win, the only solace will be proving to @1 that racism is real and that white people deserve to be judged by the color of their skin when they let it prevent them from dispensing justice to their fellow humans again and again and again. Not that he'll listen. There's not much lower than trolling about reverse-racism in reference to a case of the worst, most blatant racism racism.

“I say you did it because he’s black… He was being a total ahole,”. Using the whole quote must have been one of the hardest things you've ever done, Ansel.

MLK paid a hell of a lot of attention what all-white juries did and didn't do, and wasn't shy about saying so, and King had a lot to say about the quality of justice served based on the racial makeup of the jury. He was not a naive dupe singing kumbaya all day long. These jackasses in fedoras think they're armed to make killer points knowing all of one line from one speech.

Please just go away Whiplash ...we don't want you back on our police force. In fact, via repeated egregious actions you've shown you shouldn't be on *any* police force.

Shit, remind me never to text anything sarcastic. Yes, other evidence is that Whitlatch is an insecure person of above-average racism, but this text is fucking obvious sarcasm from her correspondent.

Whitlatch is a racist pig who deserved to lose her job. But is it worth $760,000?
11
@10 - Yes.

How much is your liberty worth? Because that's what she took from him that day. She stopped him for no reason other than being black, took his property, arrested him and charged him with a crime. And she almost got away with it.

I'd say $760,000 is getting off cheap.

If SPD isn't relentlessly punishe for hiring and allowing hardcore racists to run rampant over citizens when will this ever stop? The sad thing is that Whitlatch a token who has been sacrificed to make O'Toole and Murray look good, while the dank pool of rotten SPD officers just like her continue to be protected to the max.

Aaaaaand like lightning Slogs most unreplied to white altright antiblack racists flock to the story!

Commitatus, werent you planning for the racial holy war uprising after the election? I remember you specifically arguing that in your last comment. Will the rest of the SPD (or KCSD...wink wink) support your little putsch?

On the OP: He will lose. The judge will toss any positive verdict (as commonly happens in these cases in Western WA) or the jury will back the party they have the most in common with...the white woman who claims the system abused her in favor of those monstrous black people. Thats not just a conservative thing, look at Amy Schumers defense of racism towards black people after the whole Lena Dunham/Odell Beckham ordeal...and that was after Dunham apologized and admitted it was a racist knee jerk instinct.

Seattle will be Seattle will be Seattle. Tolerant for everything but 1- The poors and 2- Teh Blax an brawuns and Indyuns.

Are you kids joking?
This is high entertainment.
The two most loyal Democrap Big Tent clans going at each other.
What you find is that after you expel the deplorable irredeemable not-Americans your tribal extortional booty wars become a zero sum games
13
What we specifically noted is that at some point the urban tribes will turn on each other.
All the resentment and grievance the Democraps cultivate will explode at some point.
tick tock

I find it funny that in a city where you can by a cheap cane at a bartells for around $20, two blocks from the incident, that one actually NEEDS a golf club as a cane - unless one is actively looking to cause trouble in the middle of broad daylight - and get away with it..

The problem is that the cops operate with impunity. We know SPD is utterly failing to hold their officers accountable when a cop whose facing allegations of racially profiling a senior citizen can say "There’s no way I’m gonna lose my job. The worst still [sic] do if they do anything is give me a bunch of days off and who cares I don’t want to go to work anyway right now.” Disabusing the department and its employees that there are no consequences for misconduct is of upmost importance. Furthermore, it's proof that suspending employees or putting them on leave is not a sufficient consequence for misconduct, even in less severe cases. clearly suspending officers is worse then a slap on the wrist, it's giving a wink and a nod to the officer that their bad behavior will be tolerated while lying to the public that steps are being taken to correct their behavior.

@15: Some people feel that a cane makes them look old and feeble, and/or that other people will treat them differently if they are seen with a cane. A cane isn't so good for whacking an angry, unleashed dog. Anything gifted to one like Wingate's putter is more affordable than a $20 cane. Wingate said at trial that he felt his putter was durable and sporty.

@15) Yes, the Constitution clearly states you may not walk while holding any "unapproved" items. Case closed!
19
@15) And yes, he clearly "asked for it", which is the only possible conclusion a reasonable white male should make.

@15:

You can buy a putting iron at Goodwill for $5...

plus it looks really jaunty.

@15 - what a dumb argument. Here, let me try out your logic: "I don't know why anyone would carry an umbrella that can clearly be wielded as a club when they can buy a garbage bag and stay dry by cutting a few holes in it and wearing it like a poncho. Anyone carrying an umbrella who refuses to give it up to a belligerent officer of the law deserves to be arrested and charged with obstruction." Totally reasonable!
23
@15, I find you funny... But not "ha-ha" funny.
24
Anyone else remember when I said

"On the OP: He will lose. The judge will toss any positive verdict (as commonly happens in these cases in Western WA) or the jury will back the party they have the most in common with...the white woman who claims the system abused her in favor of those monstrous black people. Thats not just a conservative thing, look at Amy Schumers defense of racism towards black people after the whole Lena Dunham/Odell Beckham ordeal...and that was after Dunham apologized and admitted it was a racist knee jerk instinct."
