He was a “doting” father…

So do you know how to use the internet or not?

Just because I know how to use the internet doesn't mean I know everything about every story or that I have the time to look these things up. If thisisinsane claims something is so, it follows that he knows where to look and can bring it here faster than I can. Duh.

At Daunte Wright Funeral, Minneapolis Mourns the ‘Prince of Brooklyn Center’

The Rev. Al Sharpton delivered the eulogy for Mr. Wright, the 20-year-old Black man who was shot and killed by a police officer in Brooklyn Center, Minn., last week.

“The Prince of Brooklyn Center”

?????

I get that for the families sake they will memorialize someone in a bright light. I get that.

But to describe him as a talented basketball player as if his career was cut short by law enforcement is a frigging joke.

On top of that he sure looks very white to me. I saw his mom is white. Where is dad?

This punk was no victim. He brought everything on himself and paid the ultimate price.

Are we familiar enough yet oxat? Do you need more examples?

Sharpton decries 'stench of racism' in Daunte Wright's death

Sharpton has always been an opportunist. Not a surprise.

The first half of that Klobuchar quote is stupid. I'll give you that.

But that's just two people, not a great representation of "the left". If you know of more, I'll read them.

Mourning someone isn't the same as propping them up as a hero. Everyone gets mourned.

And again, there'd be something here if the knowledge that he was accused of the other shootings was present before his funeral and obituaries, but that's not the case. Why are we so thirsty for accountability or a statement from those who attended his funeral?

How many people do you know that have had 3 hour long televised funerals? George Floyd and Duane Wright are two I know of.
