Pick 1;

You’re being extremely disingenuous.
You’re a complete fucking moron.
You were born yesterday and are unaware of how the world works.

4: Smapti’s a fucking fascist who thinks we should all just do whatever a police officer tells us to do, instantly, with no questions or reservations, and thinks we should all lap up the bullshit the rightwing and the Ferguson and St. Louis County PDs are putting out there like it’s the finest cream.

Witnesses: Michael Brown had his hands up when he was shot.

Perhaps the OP would prefer if they just called Michael Brown “boy”.

And, as others have already pointed out, and as anyone who has read more than about three New York Times articles knows, the Times basically always uses “Mr.” when talking about men. They use it for politicians, for sports figures, for actors, and even for terrorists and criminals. It’s their “house” style.

In the article (might require subscription) on the killing of Osama bin Laden, they referred to him as Mr. Bin Laden.

It is the NYT house style of writing. And it can be really fucking annoying at times.
