This is absolutely ridiculous. I wonder how many blacks the jury had.
Their lawyer was wearing a Kaepernick jersey, I'm sure they had no agenda whatsoever with this bullshit civil suit.

It’s Baltimore. Finding a reasonable jury there is even harder there than 35 miles to the South in the People’s Republic of DC.

I wonder how many blacks paid the taxes that go to that $37M. I don’t have to imagine. It’s 0.
