    Given that the sheriff in question is black, and that he has requested investigations from outside parties, I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt until the investigations are complete.

      Just like internalized misogyny is very much a thing in women, internalized racism is a thing, too. It’s sort of like a poor person aligning themselves with the rich against their own interests, if that’s easier for you to visualize. All that to say, I agree with the other commenter— that cop is blue.

        OK, like, MAYBE everyone should quit knee-jerking and claiming being experts off a headline, and maybe this guy is a grown-up who understands the situation more than you do?

        I could be wrong. But the pitchfork mentality and outrage addiction is even worse on Lemmy than it was on Reddit, and that’s really not a good thing.

        I’m not saying assume nothing is wrong. I’m just suggesting that it accomplishes nothing to jump to conclusions until all the evidence is available. Is that so unreasonable to you?

        I finished ace Attorney in a since day. How do they not know who did it yet?! Are they dumb?
