The whole point of this thread puzzles me. Nobody here has a clue of what actually happened there and the Justice Dept and FBI are there to find out. Let them do their jobs and then comment on the results of investigation. Those here trying to make political hay out of this event at this point are no better than Al Sharpton or Nancy Grace.

In a perfect world that would be fine.

However, in the words of "Ice Tea"

What's more fucked up is jumping to conclusions when you have no facts. We'll find out in due time and I bet folks who have jumped to conclusions that end up not being supported by the facts will not concede, but shout conspiracy. I refuse to be pulled into such pointless discussions.

I can already tell you what the verdict will be...

"The department has concluded it's internal investigation and has concluded the shooting was justified and that the officer acted properly"

That's the only verdict that will be issued and is how it's always been. They will protect their own.

That's my prediction too.

Not with the FBI and Justice involved. At this point, there may well be a 50% chance that the shooting was indeed justified and appropriate. You and I just don't know.

What's interesting is how people become vested in the results of the investigation coming out in a fashion that confirms their preconceived notion of what happened and will scream conspiracy if it doesn't. I'm quite comfortable waiting.

Your ridiculous obsession with this hatred for the POTUS is basically parroting whatever echo chamber has you in thrall. Mebbe you should give it a rest?
