Black Joy Reid Blogger Claims That White Police and ‘Pseudo-Police’ Crying on the Stand is a ‘Customary Act’ After Facing Charges For Their ‘Acts of Violence’

Racial inspired rhetoric for when there is a lack of evidence that a situation was racially motivated has become part for the course with many on the left these days.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid certainly has been a driving force behind much of the rhetoric in the media a report on today’s verdict in the Kim Potter trial was no different.

The report, which was written by her blogger Ja’han Jones, who is black, detailed the guilty verdict in the trial and suggested that the jury didn’t buy Potter’s testimony.

A manslaughter charge, however, doesn’t necessarily indicate whether the jury bought Potter’s testimony or not, simply that they could have felt the act required punishment in a court of law.

In conjunction with her testimony, Jones then asserted that “tearful performances of contrition have become part of the customary act white police and pseudo-police put on while facing charges for their violence” and linked to an article on trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, who was found innocent of all charges.

It seems that there is a level of judgement from Jones to consider the breaking down on the stand an “act” while believing that these individuals are actually just cold-blooded inflictors of “violence.”

That sort of a conclusion then essentially absolves the “victims” of any sort of wrong-doing, despite the fact that in both cases, neither the police officer , nor the “psuedo-police” officer initiated the incident in a manner beyond simply attempting to do what they felt was in the best interest of the public.

This sort of rhetoric is why it is completely bogus for the Biden administration and Democrats in general to suggest that they are the real supporters of the police when it is clear that people like this support them and drive their policy essentially.

In the last paragraph of the article, Jones seems to contradict his previous suggestion that the jury didn’t buy her testimony as well as he referenced the fact that Potter’s defense attorney Earl Gray argued that she simply made a mistake.

Jones concluded, “In a departure from similar cases involving deaths by police, the jury in Potter’s case disagreed with Gray’s assessment. They found that officers entrusted with deadly weapons and empowered by the state have an obligation to act responsibly with that power.”

Clearly that would indicate that they potentially convicted her whether they felt she was legitimately remorseful or not, because they believed it was a mistake that simply couldn’t be made, even given the actions of the man who she was attempting to stop from fleeing the traffic stop.
