Hey guys, here's the other right-wing rag I found.
Wouldn't shock me if it wasn't true.

He's already ducked out the thread after getting called out on it.
I love how transparent the "Just asking questions" crowd always end up being.

So why the hell is this thread even still open? Why is everyone getting their chonies knotted for what is probably not even a legitimate story, about a kid who doesn't exist, who if he even is real doesn't have a story with records of the two people killed by police? The fuck mods
Jesus Christ, even looking for it the only other thing I can find besides the NYPost and NeoGAF is a reddit post on r/ProtectandServe, a website called deathandtaxes that pretty much quotes this one word for word and some other forum called Dogshed or something.

For the record, a funeral definitely isn't the time or place to stage a protest, but shit like that is exactly why cops have such a shit reputation.

That is one bold kid though. Not enough people have the balls to do that.
Edit
h shit, lol if this is fake news.

NY Post is a legitimate local news source - yes it's right leaning but it's still legitimate
Oh dear.
His actual protest didn't inconvenience the cops; they chose to pursue up to his apartment of their own volition. I'd argue you could make more of an inconvenience and, consequently, a statement at other moments/venues.
Regardless, I'm not really sure what we're arguing about here- I said that, given all the context, the kid was fine; I just made the remark I did out of empathy for the grieving family. What is your preferred position exactly? That the family does not deserve empathy as well? That, in having their funeral be public, they've waived the right to privacy/sensitivity? Genuinely asking here.

But like, nothing is adding up with this. No proof, no evidence, the minor's face and name on a publication, a 16 year old living with just a roommate, his "friend and brother" might not even exist. This is fishier than my local beach was a few years ago when a bunch fish got trapped in the bay and died within a couple daysSchattenjäger;243224359 said:
EDIT: guess he lives with family, not just a roommate.
I mean, it's a story about a 16 year old minority playing loud music and that said loud music is scary black people music. Its only public interest is to racist white people reading right wing rags like The New York Post who need another data point confirming that yes brown people are indeed violent thugs and the NYPD should continue to have free reign to do things like choke them to death for selling loosies.

If this turns out to be fake I'm going to get loaded and eat steak

New York Times article on funeral here: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/11/nyregion/nypd-officer-miosotis-familia-funeral.html
Goes into fairly extensive detail on the route taken, yet no mention of this story. Missed or simply never happened?
Edit: Checked others- CNN, CBS, dailymail, etc. No other mention that I can see.

It didn't happen, cause no would miss this.
But they have published stories that have been false? I think they published stories that turned out to be false about the Boston Marathon bombings. So it stands to reason, that they might've published a false story about this too?Schattenjäger;243224359 said:

Yeah a story about a little punk being a piece of shit, with nothing at all to back it up. If he even exists. It feels weird.
It's also the perfect article to get GAF riled up and angry with hardly reading the article itself. Got people in here hating cops, people in here bashing the imaginary punk, people st each other's throats over something that... could entirely be about as real as Kraft cheese slices
Yeah, that's real odd. Google still only pulls up GAF and some other weird forum.
Well that's a wrap. Good job, Schattendude.
This doesn't seem very legitimate.Schattenjäger;243224359 said:

To be fair I have no problem believing it did happen. I mean they have a picture of the kid with his stereo.
Seems like a lot of work to fake a photograph for a piece that isn't going to get a lot of traction anyway.
Mainstream press probably isn't picking it up because a) It's such a small story and b) they don't feel like putting some 16 year old id on blast

Do you understand what's happening, young man
This is an excerpt from the Post
Feels like it could go either way at this point.
Regardless of whether it did or didn't happen, it's still interesting fodder for discussion on the boundaries of acceptable protest, but, yeah, seems pretty weird no one else is running this....
Even that Fox news post is just a link to the NY Post article, not an independently created article.

What's important here is that we remember how hard it is to be a cop.
