The prosecutor at the time is now facing her own criminal trial in February for advising the elder McMichael to wash his hands and telling the police to stand down.

Yea this is news to me. I didn't think it was possible I could dislike him more... I was wrong. So he's always had disdain for black women then.
A reasonable police officer wouldn't continue to keep his knee on the neck of a dead man because he might rise from the dead and hurt them.

... I'm inspired. I'm Inspired to push past the fear, the hurt, the disappointment and make my dreams reality. "Rejection is not failure... it's a calibrator." Thanks

Black people... don't carry this burden. If you are... lay it down RIGHT now. It's not yours and it's not mine. The problem isn't the people expected to shoulder the BAD behavior of others, it's the people that believe we do.
Never have I EVER been in a courtroom where the witness can refuse to answer the questions and the judge admonishes the attorney for objecting to the witness not answering the question.

It was BEAUTIFULLY stated. I completely agree... "And what gets lost in the discourse is that, however disappointing the incident was, it was also a rare moment when a Black woman was publicly defended."

Right! Like they are entitled to our time and attention and it's ok to lash out violently when we don't respond the way they want.
@HuffPost
Watching her broke my heart... You can't fake that kind of pain and turmoil. I hope speaking up and stepping out of the shadows ultimately give her the peace that has eluded her for years. I HATE when women enable the abuse of women and girls.

Don't do that. Have you heard of him hitting people for years? What family are you referring to other than his wife? Why would he swear about an open marriage he and his wife agreed to?

No it isn't... ESPECIALLY when he said prior to the election that he'd forgive all undergraduate tuition-related loans if you make less than 125k and attended a public u. or HBCU.

All I can do is SMH and wonder how long we're going to sit back and allow elected officials WITH paid leave, free medical/dental/vision, an AMAZING vacation plan, to do WTF they want to do with OUR money.

Pepsi is my liquid crack! However, I'm willing to sacrifice my habit to stand with the people. I'm sick of these corporations and their lack of concern for the workers that fuel their profits.

Then we need to use taxpayer funds in ways that protect people. Address the root cause of crime. Start there. More cops and billion-dollar budgets are NOT keeping Americans safe and we need to do something about that.

The community will be just fine without a dollar tree and hair store. I'm pretty sure viewing the dead body of a 20 year old killed by the police for SIX HOURS is a lot more damaging than looting the dollar tree.
@AprilDRyan
Sigh... I'm not paying a single red cent for the actions of someone else and I'm SICK of people sending me damn invoices. I'm not paying it because it ain't mine.

I read a few comments and thought the same thing. We are teetering on the edgr and STILL we refuse to accept what we're seeing with our own eyes. The grift is one thing and enacting laws is something entirely different and more powerful.

The right ALWAYS had the right to choose. You may not have liked the choices but that chose was yours to make. Unlike forced births.

I had my son at 34 he was about 3 when I took him to the ER with my then 13-year-old daughter, the nurse asked if she was mom? I was more upset that she thought my baby-faced daughter was a mother of a 3-year-old than that I was a grandmother at 37.

Some of us have known for quite some time that white supremacists and their sympathizers are police, ems, doctors, lawyers, judges, congressmen/women, teachers and presidents.

@ABC
So Park police on their own decided to violently clear the park AHEAD of the curfew, no one knows why, but definitely not because of the former guy?
