CRAZYTOWN: Joy Reid says you shouldn't believe anything you hear or see from police about the #MakhiaBryant shooting (which would include body camera footage) b/c it could be proven it was all a lie and the office was unjustified.

Besides, Bryant had cute TikTok videos!

NO JOKE...Joy Reid says knife fights happen all the time and people survive!

Reid's guest then condemned the actions of the police officer b/c it was "child here that was involved in an altercation with someone else."

So kids can wield weapons and you should just let them be?

Joy Reid insinuates the Columbus police officers responding to the scene of the #MakhiaBryant shooting had it out for black people because one of them had a Blue Lives Matter mask.

Reid also doubles on how you can't believe what your eyes tell you b/c...police lie all the time?

Joy Reid's idea of how a U.S. city should be run? San Francisco, so she brought on DA Chesa Boudin to gush over his decision that traffic stops where drugs or weapons found won't face prosecution and that it's a community that's doing yeoman's work to work with people of color

Reid closed her latest segment divorced from reality by talking about the need for police to not levy fines for crimes because doing so would help restore trust in "communities of color" since police "are gaining revenue for cities" by willfully exacting punishment on them (5/5)
