Literally the "I was just holding the knife and he ran into the blade!" "Your honor I was just holding my fist out and he smashed his face into my fist level and over again!" defense. Leftist identity politics are now requiring everyone to not question obvious lies.

Compare this to the way Bragg treated the bodega worker who was getting the shit kicked out of him by someone and stabbed him in self defense. Bragg tried to throw the book at him. A criminal justice system that treats people differently based on immutable charactierics is evil.

Actually no, Bragg did exactly the same he did in this case. He asked a judge to dismiss the case.

> In a motion to dismiss the case filed Tuesday morning, the district attorney’s office said that it would be unable to “prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was not justified in his use of deadly physical force.” The case will not be presented to a grand jury.

He only dismissed the case against the bodega worker after massive public pushback. He initially tried to charge him with murder.

This case garnered public backlash as well.

But either way that’s how the Justice system works. The police arrested the man and the DA made the decision not to charge him.

Both cases were treated the same and had the same outcome. You said to compare them.
