Did that fucking sheriff seriously use the n word in damn press release…. What the fuck????

Yeah. I don't understand it even in context.

"This shooting was racially motivated, and he hated Black people," the sheriff said at a news conference. "He wanted to kill n------. "That's the one and only time I'll use that word," Waters said, referring to the racial slur.

Like, what??? Why use it even that "one and only" time?

Imo, he might consider himself and his, different from the victims that were targeted. THEY were ninjas, not him.
