Buying a TV while Black

You really need evidence that there are other sources for this story ? Really ?
You made the claim there were sources that support a different version of events. And you've failed to support your claim. As usual.
 
The first thing that came to my mind is that a 65in TV couldn’t fit in a Lexus SUV? I was able to fit a 75in one in my smaller Subaru SUV.

But that’s the only thing that doesn’t make sense. Harassment and assault of blacks doing nothing wrong by police, is SOP in the US.
There may have been other stuff in the vehicle.
 
This is about the actual existence of alternate stories, ones with more information than the one provided in the OP. I just said they exist
We're still waiting for some evidence your "alternate stories" actually exist in the real world.
:rolleyes:

This has become one of their good-to's; a constant screaming appeal that we wait for the "whole story" or "both sides" with no context as to what that actually means or what information we're actually waiting on that will matter so they can keep writing fan fiction taking place in alternative universes where the black people did something wrong.

Oh. I take it you too missed the ling that was posted only two posts down from my original statement. Yes, true, that link was posted by someone else but if you need to believe that it doesn't/didn't exist then that's your problem, not mine. I suppose I could go back, get that link, which has been posted here twice already and repost it just to keep this Gong Show on the air.

Whoa...there's just one of the links that didn't exist.

Now in that link there's a statement from Des Peres Department of Public Safety AKA, the cops. and in that statement the Des Peres Department of Public Safety presents a perspective that wasn't presented in the article linked in the OP.

Now at one point I alluded to the possibility that the statement (which included the words " As one of our officers attempted to detain a male subject for the reported Larceny" ) might be questionable by using the statement "If you believe the cops" and still, there was this incessant instance that no such statement existed.

As it turns out, the cops were making stuff up.

Are we clear now ?
 
Some bickering has been moved to AAH. Please keep to the topic of the thread which is, as ever, not one another.

Thank you.

There's a lot of variation in SUVs to be fair, I can fit a full size under counter kitchen appliance in the back of my Mk2 RAV4 without removing or folding the back seats, you'd struggle to get a single full size suitcase in the back of my wife's 3 door Grand Vitara despite the fact that it's footprint is as large, if not larger.


There's a lot of variation in many cars, and it doesn't always reflect their actual capacities.

Many years ago, nearly forty of them as it happens, my (then) wife inherited a '76 Cadillac El Dorado when her grandmother passed away. That car was huge. Immense. There was acres of it. The trunk lid alone could have sheltered a large family. (Okay. Maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, but only a little bit.)

It only took one trip for me to realize that I could back more and bigger stuff in the trunk of my 142 series Volvo than I could in the vast expanse of that El Dorado. A lot more. Subsequent journeys continued to make that apparent.

(Once, when my dart league had a pig-pickin', I put three kegs of beer and a small hog in the Volvo trunk. With the lid down. And the pig was laying on ice in a little kiddie plastic wading pool. Try that with a Cadillac.)
