#9  Took a month for this pro-cop story to come out nationally and it took a British tabloid to report it.

#8  His earlier attempted murder of the security guard will be ignored.

Clear case of self-defense - security guard is white.

#7  let me get in front of the BLM / Antifa narrative for this one:

poor Travon was in fear for his life because of the evil wypeepo cops that have been gunning down BIPOC. Ergo he had to shoot the cop in self defense.

His earlier attempted murder of the security guard will be ignored.

#6  Look, the kid was just getting his reparations. There was no reason for the cops to shoot him. Kids shoplift all the time. Shoplifting shouldn't carry the death penalty. /sarcasm

Just Saying
Given the increasing number of Black Teens named "Travon" in the news for Thug related incidents.

Is the name itself starting to carry a built-in path in life for the owner?
