This is funny because most law enforcement officials are so racist they care less about justice than they do about simply sending innocent black men to jail. Yeah.

Obviously this man was only what 1/2 mile away, and obviously he would be the likely culprit. And obviously “by the looks of him” he’s guilty…. of course they OBVIOUSLY should go ahead and convict of the other crimes, because OBVIOUSLY he’s PROBABLY GUILTY and the fact that the DNA evidence proved his innocence MEANS NOTHING…..again OBVIOUSLY he “musta’ve” done something.

YOU know what I mean….. why “just looking at him” YOU can tell…. they aren’t going to “put one over on us”... oh yeah, we KNOW, we know.
