As for the GOP, the reporting is clear on this. Blocking the bill was not done out of a concern for the bill of rights. It was to spite the Democrats for the sit in. Shameful.



Again, you conflate and then leave it to me to disentangle.

The video taken by the girlfriend of the motorist with the CCL starts after the shooting. The police dashcam video is not out the last I checked.

The other guy was fighting with police who had been informed by the dispatcher that the citizen brandished his gun at a another citizen/complainant who then called 911. He got in a fight with the police. He was in fact carrying a firearm.

And the Republicans were defending citizens' Bill of Right protections.

Shame on those that would throw our civil rights away like a half eaten bologna sandwich.


Wrong on the facts Mike. He was reported to have threatened someone with a gun, but the video clearly shows that there was no gun in his hands when the police had him on the ground. They shot him afterwards. Even if he had threatened someone with a gun, it was not being brandished when the police had him on the ground.

You are right that there is no dash cam video or lapel video yet on the second shooting. So I'll eat crow if it comes out that the fellow was brandishing his gun.
