i simply said that normal people like you or i thought they did nothing wrong.

that is factually correct. a jury of our peers found them not guilty.

Have you watched all 33 minutes? no you havent? well then how can you speak on something with such certainty without knowing the full story?

I DID WATCH IT, you fuck. Unlike you, I spent the time to understand the situation before I argued one side or another. 

And no, they were not found "not guilty", they were acquitted. This means that there was not enough factual evidence to support the prosecution's argument, probably because the key witness (Thomas) is in his grave and the only other people there were these assholes who beat a man to death. The only evidence the prosecution had was the above video. Similarly, not guilty does not equate with innocent. It's pretty clear that these people mercilessly beat this guy until he died.

All this negates the MASSIVE conflict of interest that is inherent in cases like this. Brutality cases are often investigated internally by employees of the city or even the police department. To win a case is damn near impossible when facing a deck so stacked as this.

All my points are still valid, your reading comprehension still sucks,and you have made exactly zero compelling arguments relating not to my own posts but to the issue of the case.

How are you not getting this? My posts are directly related to yours. I've been literally QUOTING things you're saying. And nice try with the poor reading comprehension skills. You just have poor writing/life/ethics skills. Eat one.

reread what i wrote, that you quoted above. now reread it again.

now go in the corner and think about where your schooling failed to teach you reading comprehension.

I failed the second I responded to your idiocy. You're right.

no you didnt fail. The educational system that taught you reading comprehensions FAILED YOU.

we all make mistakes, yours are just made at a much lower reading level.
