Seemingly, Bryant …
Seemingly, Bryant cooked his own goose!

I’d try and make him look “good”, but how exactly would I do that, given that he killed a man with his gas pedal?

I guess I could have ignored the footage in sequence as the media has… No wonder they didn’t want to touch these details with a 10 ft pole. But that would make me complicit in the cover-up of a wrongful death..

The video is proof, for sure but the interpretation is significantly biased.

Regardless of how I feel about it (being a cyclist, i’m interested in safety for the most part) I wan’t justice not a roasting.

That is exactly my point, you annotations look like spin to me.

I didn’t say the “video was biased” I said your annotations were, right from the very first one (are you claiming they are not, but you don’t have a point to make? right…).

The darn comments here are too short to actually list all the evidence I can see just in time index 0.06 to 0.08. This is obviously captured by video camera from a TV, it would be nice to get our hands on the actually footage.

Quantify your …
Quantify your objections with facts and observations, not made up BS, your posts read like PR.

The video itself is what came out of the security cameras, how can that be biased?

- The opening scene on a T-shirt stating how many people perceive the facts of the incident. That’s their bias, I’m mirroring that questions exists.

- “Nearby, A funny place to park?” Is the only bias I can see.

Eyewitness accounts match the vids.

You can make a personal attack, but you’ve got no facts at all.

‘Bryant is just as …
‘Bryant is just as much of an aggressor moments later when he tries to force a passage past Sheppard (hitting the back tire)”

Force a passage PAST? Don’t you mean through? There is a difference. A huge difference. Using a car to force a passage through is called ramming - not passing.

As IslamAnswersBack stated : that was a total run over.

That’s why many believe Bryant is a murderer.

Too bad this video has such obvious bias, it would have been very interesting if I didn’t immediately start to question the author because of it.

That’s “male cow faecal matter”. You can see right in the video Sheppard smacking the car while passing outside the lane (contrary to traffic laws and not annotated unfortunately; bias?) then he pulls in front of the car and the two men clearly have some sort of exchange.

Looks to me as if Sheppard is the aggressor first, however Bryant is just as much of an aggressor moments later when he tries to force a passage past Sheppard (hitting the back tire).
