That doesn't even kind of track, if you've seen the footage.
I think you might be misinterpreting the statement, or I’m misinterpreting what you’re saying.
They are saying she isn’t worth thinking about to just cut a check to the family and tell them to fuck off. I’m paraphrasing, obviously. That tracks pretty well really.
It absolutely does not. He was joking that she had limited value because she "was 26".
A person approaching the most economically productive years of their life does not have limited value unless you only value women for one thing.
Drop the bullshit.
Why the aggression? You’re agreeing with each other.
guess their anger against cops has to go somewhere!
No. They're saying the official statements tracks. I am disagreeing (incoherently? It's before coffee).
I think you need to go back to elementary school and work on reading comprehension. I even asked you if I was misunderstand you, so you jump down my throat? Wtf.
Explain, please.
The cops on the bodycam are clearly laughing about the students' demise.
It's disgusting.
There's really no other way to read it. The statement is pure damage control PR meant for to those who won't watch the video.
