      Yeah, and the sarcasm points to skepticism over the mother’s story. Last I checked, sarcastically saying “allegedly” implies that you think it unnecessary, but you’re checking your ass over liability. Meaning that you think that that is what happened.

      And sarcastically emphasizing “answers” implies that the mother has some secret game besides holding those responsible for the murder of child accountable.

      Like, am I fucking crazy for seeing this as filled with malice and hate for the victim?

        You’re almost reading my comment correctly, only being a bit too emotional. There was no story provided in the post, and no link to an article, so I had to google it. The post was intentionally hiding the details I think, and I just provided some context also using quotes to express some of my thoughts, which made you mad. I don’t condone the police. I think the American police are very dangerous, especially if you confront them and they are almost always not held accountable for their actions. I also think these details provide some context why this happened the way it did. Running away from cops with your child in the car is completely reckless in my opinion. If she didn’t steal anything and had a receipt, even more so.

        Yeah I guess I can read it that way. “Allegedly” implies “cops are lying” to me, but then “answers” implies “woman is lying”

        So actually I have no fucking clue what this person is trying to say.
