Yes. sheshe2 May 2022 #29

Have you done ANY research? Texasgal May 2022 #31

Why the cover up then? sheshe2 May 2022 #32

Because they were largely inept! Texasgal May 2022 #33

If you want to be an apologist for the police inaction here, THAT is what is offensive. MerryHolidays May 2022 #40

Idk why the cops screwed up so but questionseverything May 2022 #44

PLEASE READ MY POST. I do not think you are. You are fixated on color. MerryHolidays May 2022 #46

The op made it about color in her title, they were brown questionseverything May 2022 #49

Rather than blaming someone, would you care to get over debating points? MerryHolidays May 2022 #54

Omg you have gone from poc were targeted because they were poc questionseverything May 2022 #64

You are not DU admin. Please don't tell me what to post. nt MerryHolidays May 2022 #66

Hopefully, you too will delete your laughing emoji. nt MerryHolidays May 2022 #76

Your laughing emojis in this saddest of times is disgusting. I would strongly suggest you remove. nt MerryHolidays May 2022 #55

Different post. And that one's staying. (n/t) SMC22307 May 2022 #62

That's entirely on you to have laughing emojis about this. nt MerryHolidays May 2022 #68

"Distinguished DUers"? SMC22307 May 2022 #48

Wow...really profound. Your ad hominem and useless attack is duly disregarded. nt MerryHolidays May 2022 #50
