My three kids are sarcastic and irreverent. This isn’t a shock to anyone who knows me. Their mouthiness can be irritating, but usually I manage to remember that I don’t set much of an example of rhetorical decorum.

The Anti-Media – by SM Gibson

Palm Beach County, Fla. — Footage released Thursday afternoon from an incident involving a Palm Beach Sheriff’s Officer back in September of 2013 contradicts the official story released by the Department at the time. The video, which has not been seen by the public until today, shows 20-year-old Dontrell Stephens being shot in the back multiple times by Deputy Adams Lin.

On the recording, Stephens can be seen riding his bicycle as Deputy Lin trails behind in his police cruiser. As Lin hastily closes in on the young man, Stephens pulls over and dismounts from his bike. Holding only his cell phone, the 20-year-old briefly steps out of the vision of the camera. As he steps back in view, four shots ring out, and Stephens collapses out of frame.   Continue reading “Dashcam Shows Cop Shoot Unarmed Man Repeatedly In Back”
