I read these posts and am continuously startled that people allow their biases and prejudices to make their irrational statements sound rational. You guys continue to argue this issue in an emotional manner, largely devoid of reason.
Now, we again can argue whether there is enough evidence to convict GZ in a law of court. But to argue that somehow, TM, decided to ruthlessly attack GZ without a some fear just honestly sounds stupid.
To make that argument you have to ignore everything we know.
1.) You have to ignore TM has never been known to be violent. Never been arrested for violence and has never been suspended for violence.
2.) You then would have to believe that TM somehow broke from his senses decided that this guy who was following him in a car, who he may have seen on the phone and who was now following him on foot with 2 flashlights was somehow not a cop. And he had to decide this pretty quickly to jump on GZ the way he claims.
3.) You then would have to assume that a kid who's never known to be violent would just up and brutally attack this person he isn't sure is a cop or not. You would then have to believe he loses his mind literally and continues to beat this guy up for no reason or just because he felt like it even though he hears people saying they are calling the police. You then have to believe that he felt he could escape (to where since he lived there) or he wasn't scared of being arrested and ruining his life.
I mean, please, someone give me a rational story that jumps all those hurdles. But again, you can't, so you make stupid sounding excuses like he was on drugs (purple syrup), or he was some international king pin who had rep with the police and knew not matter what he did he wouldn't be arrested.
Again, you guys have completely let ur bias toward black youth cloud whatever judgment you may have had. In your mind of course all that is possible because black people are animals anyhow and like animals their behavior is irrational.
