So far we have a criminal who had a run in with a cop. Either the cop killed him without just cause, or the criminal attacked the cop. The evidence one way or another is the only way to determine that.

One group in this thread is cheering for 'their' guy, while Roachinen is cheering for balanced reasoning and some critical thinking.
Booo. I see what you're saying, but Oling Roachinin is one of those guys, only his guy is the cop.

Everyone's biased, it's natural. OR is biasing towards the cop, you can tell because he's building a narrative about the victim and speculating on what likely happened.

Nobody cares that he has a different opinion, our issue is that he's speculating about what the victim likely did to get himself killed and at the same time, calling those who are critical of the cop out for speculating and not waiting for the facts to come out.

Of course there's bias, but don't speculate on one side of the coin while telling those you disagree with not to speculate.
