Why are you profiling?

I dunno, why are you arguing in bad faith? The entire premise that these cops wearing body cameras were being mistaken for a gang threat is so far divorced for reality, I'm not even sure why I've wasted my time acknowledging it.

Even if that were plausible (and it isn't), what's the point? 40 years is too steep for the kid who turned Laundromax into the O.K. Corral?

I think a person could make a better case, based on his rap sheet, that he personally had prior interactions with these 2 cops than him mistaking them for random gang members.

It’s funny how you try to say something is divorced from reality, yet you’re the one who has zero experience in the kind of world he lives in. You’re damn right 40 years is too steep. They wanted to give him life. You know why prosecutors do that? They intentionally over charge to pressure people into pleading into lesser charges. This justice system is a sham. It’s always been like that specially for people of color. Maybe he should have become a cop instead. At least then he’d have gotten a paid vacation.
