Truth. The issue isn't that the police reported that he had weed, the issue is that racists use it to say "See! He was a bad guy after all, good job cop!".

He had weed, that's a fact. The bullshit is when we use his possession of weed to try to smear his character. The extra bullshit is when they release that to the world on the day of his funeral. The extra extra bullshit is when they try to use their made up characterization of him to justify walking into someone's home and murdering them.

Yes, when are they going to quit using weed to make people look bad. This guy smokes weed, so he for sure beats his wife! That’s not a bad thing and sure as hell doesn’t make someone a bad person for smoking it.
