... already past the officer the murderer was trying to defend and it was on bodycam.

The officer that the murderer claimed he was defending didn't find the need to fire anything at the kids, he didn't feel his life was in danger.

Oliver, the murderer, went and got an assault rifle to police a damn teenager party.

The media couldn't give the person murdered the Trayvon Martin treatment seeing he was a straight A student athelete who hadn't gotten any ISS for being tardy or any other such heinous things regular teenagers do that black kids are extrapolated for.

These kind of verdicts should be the norm but this is dog bites man because they're not.
